So I just had somebody say they took a load of damage because of lag. Fair enough. The excuse for lag was that his mom was microwaving a baked potato.
HAHAHAHHAH - wait, you might be thinking the microwave is connected to wifi. So I asked that and he said nope.
WHO EVEN THINKS OF THAT, anyway the person was toxic and AFKed after so that sucked but it was only a normal game so I don't lose much other than exp.
RiotViscarious6 votesI'm gonna jump on this thread to point out that using a microwave can interfere with wifi. Check out this link for more info.
The problem is that both microwave ovens and Wi-Fi operate on the same frequency, 2.4 GHz. In theory, a properly shielded microwave shouldn't leak any radiation, but the reality is that they leak quite a bit, resulting in electromagnetic, or radio-frequency (RF), interference. And yes, Wi-Fi is a radio signal, but it's broadcasting on a much higher frequency than most broadcast radios operate on.
This is one of the many reasons why we recommend that players play League on Ethernet instead of wifi.
While I'm here, I'm also going to recommend that people check out LagReport.com. We break down connection quality by Ethernet and Wifi so you can see the impact Wifi has on connections.

about as odd as you researching it 10 days ago
Dangerous Man1 votesabout as odd as you researching it 10 days ago
is it really that odd? I really didn't care much until like 15 days passed and I was STILL getting replies on this post that I couldn't give a shit about if I tried. I made it in like 2 minutes because I thought an excuse was funny but then the notifications became so annoying I just had to.
fatherdarius3 votesIsn't this obvious?
A POTATO is a person with slow reflexes.
Being BAKED implies someone is high; MICROWAVE is self-explanatory, cooking something.
MOM or MOTHER is slang for marijuana/ganja/'weed'/herb/yerba mate (not sure on the last one)
So, 'mom microwaving a baked potato' OBVIOUSLY means the 'lag' was neuronal and biological. Smoking the devil's lettuce was baking his brain and laggin' his reflexes.
:D

holy that's some thought you had. Definitely 200 IQ
EL HAMSTERO3 votesthe best part is imaging the kid raging at his mom for cooking and causing him to lag
BereInBurta2 votesOn the other hand, if the power instalation in the house is in bad condition, simple energy fluctuations may affect other devices that are plugged in the same power source. It's not entire impossible for a running microwave to influence the wifi connection, in given conditions.

Ok maybe if he has his entire house running on a generator or he has 10 christmas trees plugged in then yeah, it may mess with something. I'm pretty sure it's impossible for it to be installed wrong in North America because it's against some rules.
Though I'm still sure it won't effect ping, it'll be more likely to just turn off entirely if it was a power issue.
General Esdeath 2 votesI could believe it but he'd have to be really close to it. My old microwave did something like that, where every time it was on my YouTube app wouldn't load anything.
Oxyrotten1 votesHow did the potato turn out?
Dangerous Man4 votesHow did the potato turn out?
prolly not Gordon Ramsay approved if it's microwaved xd
Oxyrotten1 votesBut like what was the fixins? You can't just leave us in suspense!
XayahNarra1 votesMicrowaves and certain Routers do run on the same frequency, so if their microwave is close enough to their router and someone uses it, it can cause lag.... Have had first hand experience with this exact problem....

Yes and he just has the microwave door smashed open?

Doesn't have to be smashed open... if its an older microwave, it may not seal entirely, so it may leak a bit. Regardless of his toxicity, his is excuse is rare, but still valid

at this point I feel like his microwave giving him brain damage as a child would be a likely cause for lag too.
