I had a match with no lag at all. Then I started another match that this annoying bug of lag happened. In that match I couldnt fix the problem. Restarted computer and everything. Also ran the test that Riot's staff is asking for:

Most companies would immediately release a hot fix or revert the update, still having issues of sever fps drop around 4 times a game, but then again i got an invite for Dota so i guess that no longer matters.

Same, I played Bastion, Orcs must Die, and have started playing KAG. I just got a DOTA 2 beta key. Was about to try it out, but thought I'd stop by the forum and check to see if LOL was still ****ting out. Big surprise, Riot still hasn't fixed the issue, and is trying to get users to do their job for them. Are you telling me that you haven't been able to duplicate these fps drops on one of your own machines? Really, if that is the case, your company deserves to go down in flames, I like the game, but Riot is a terrible company. Who the hell tells their customers to regedit instead of FIXING THE ISSUE. Uninstalled, and I hope you know that I, and other people that have had to deal with your company's GARBAGE customer support will be vocal about this issue to anyone and everyone that will listen.

In conclusion: Eat a ****, Riot, LOL used to be fun. Even if this issue gets fixed, I seriously doubt I will ever play LOL again. Good business practices...

I've been posting on this thread for a while now. Still experiencing the "intermittent lag". My champ and my allies still fight and move, watching them live while I cannot control my toon for up to 10-15 seconds at a time. Watching helplessly as I chase champs to turrets, following the same designated path despite my efforts to stop. I'm tired of losing games because I simply lagged. Riot, Fly people to our regions and experience this if you cannot recreate the situation. It's getting out of hand

Thanks for providing these detailed tests. I think I found your problem.

Quote:
We estimate your uplink as having 3100 msec of buffering. This is quite high, and you may experience substantial disruption to your network performance when performing interactive tasks such as web-surfing while simultaneously conducting large uploads. With such a buffer, real-time applications such as games or audio chat can work quite poorly when conducting large uploads at the same time.
This would show up as your commands lagging for up to 3 seconds behind when you see them. Your download is fine but your upload is lagging behind. This would manifest itself as other players still moving around but none of your commands work. Your upload bandwidth is only 790 Kbit/sec, while your download is 8.7Mbit/sec. You might see if your ISP can bump your upload. Background applications that upload a lot of data can also cause this. (I.E. large VOIP chat rooms or torrents)

Quote:
During most of Netalyzr's execution, the applet continuously measures the state of the network in the background, looking for short outages. During testing, the applet observed 1 such outages. The longest outage lasted for 0.6 seconds. This suggests a general problem with the network where connectivity is intermittent. This loss might also cause some of Netalyzr's other tests to produce incorrect results.
This shows that your internet literally cut out for .6 seconds. This would appear on your screen as a "lag spike" where nothing happens and then all of the sudden the game scramble to catch up.

My suggestion would be to send the In Game: results to your ISP via E-mail and ask them what they think about it. They should have a utility or test they can run on their end to see these kinds of things.

i am having same issue and i am using telus ISP, i try to call the ISP to fixed this issue and they said they dun take responsibility for latency for game coz of it may cause by the server. I have just read Brentmeister's suggestion, can u tell me what should i provide to the ISP when i proving it not only the latency issue but the internet service issue?

Also: when i do the analysis: my uplink is around 2700 ms
