I wanna make this post because it worked for me and i am sure it can help many people. Now i know it's pretty basic info but there are people unaware of it so i feel like it must be told.

I used to get INSANE lag spikes while playing the game. My champion couldn't move and i kept dying because of that. Tha lag would last long and ruined my whole game. I tried it all, power settings, graphic settings, i closed every single programm running on my pc, even put lol in high priority from my task manager, nothing worked. The lag was REAL !!!

I called comcast which is my provider, they asked me to run a speed test.

I had 2.9 mb/s download speed, normal ping and some ridiculously low upload speed. I was connected with wifi. The customer service employee asked me to use an ethernet cable and run these tests again. After i did the downlowad speed went to 29 mb/s ! Yes it got 10 times higher instantly just by plugging the ethernet instead of wifi. The ping got even smaller and the upload speed went tremendously up!

Ever since i did that, i have NEVER lagged again. Not a single time in 3 weeks !!! Amazing change... I went from unplayable to never lag!!.

I had stopped playing ranked games because i felt bad for my teammates, that's how bad it was. I was even considering to stop playing the game until the ethernet saved me!!!

You should try it and see the lags disappear!

LOL you must be on 802.11a.

On 802.11n there is hardly any difference in speeds between ethernet and wifi.
