Frequent lag/video spikes

I'm having an issue where my skills seem to cast a second time even though I only cast it once, then my client corrects itself and places me where I should had been after casting it just once. For instance, I'll Leap Slam once, my client will start to show that I'm Leap Slamming a 2nd time, then a split second into the 2nd leap it puts me back where I landed after the first leap.

It seems to happen more frequently while the screen is cluttered. It ends up with me being teleported all around the area each time it happens. When the screen is cluttered, it happens 80% of the time. It's usually accompanied with a small latency spike. My latency is a steady 33ms. When the teleport happens, it spikes to around 50-60. Sometimes though, it is accompanied with a lacency dip down to the 20s (which doesn't make sense...why would high density cause my ping to get better). I use lockstep.

Is this just a server issue, or is it a client issue?

Have you tried predictive mode to see if that helps? You've got pretty good ping, so you shouldn't get desync much if at all.

I tried switching to predictive. It's leagues better than lockstep for me. Not many issues with it from limited testing, so I guess I should just run with that. Thanks for the help. Not sure why lockstep has issues.

Lockstep relies on a solid connection, if you have a bit of jitter or packet loss it can be pretty unplayable.

There are a few hops on your test that have a slight spike in ping. The worst of them jumps up to 200ms+ which would give you issues in lockstep more than likely. That's just a guess though. Perhaps someone more knowledgeable will stumble along and take a look. :)

Hello there,

I have the same issue, and the problem is that I can't download this tool, it shows
"Hmm. We’re having trouble finding that site."

so how can I fix it ?
It is anoying me since league start, and the game is unplayable,
I have random spikes, from 30 ms to 1000.
This is crazy, and predictive mode does not help, even makes it worse.

So anyone who has ihnformation about fixing this problem,
Please help me :)

Download link still works for me, maybe try a different browser?
