Why does my LoL ping rise at night?

Provider networks get busier in the evening. If ping only rises then, the problem is likely outside your home.

They can help when the problem is the route to the server. They don't fix weak Wi-Fi or a crowded home network.

League of Legends High Ping: How to Fix It + GearUP Code LEAVEN

By Leonardo Araújo, CEO of Leaven Marketing · Code verified at checkout on October 22, 2026

In League of Legends, lag shows up as late abilities, champions that teleport and missed last hits. Before changing everything, find out whether the problem is your home network or the route to the server. If you choose a booster, the code LEAVEN takes 10% off GearUP Booster.

How to see your ping in LoL

During a match, the default Ctrl+F shortcut shows FPS and ping in the corner of the screen. Watch it for a few minutes:

High and steady ping: usually distance or the route to the server.
Ping that jumps: usually Wi-Fi, a busy home network or packet loss.
Everyone lagging at once: check Riot’s server status before touching your network.

Riot’s PC connection checklist

Riot’s PC connection guide recommends, in this order:

Switch from Wi-Fi to a cable connected to your router or modem.
Power cycle your modem and router, waiting at least 30 seconds before turning them back on.
Pause downloads, streaming and cloud sync, including on other devices.
Reset your TCP/IP configuration.
Switch to a public DNS.
Turn off VPNs and proxies while troubleshooting.
Do a clean boot to keep background programs out of the way.
Check your firewall so it doesn’t block the Riot Client.

If nothing works, Riot asks you to open a ticket with your game logs, which the Riot Repair Tool helps collect.

GearUP code LEAVEN for LoL with less lag

If your network is fine and lag only shows on the route to the server, a booster can help. According to GearUP, League of Legends is on its supported games list, and its routing technology looks for steadier paths to Riot’s servers. Since Riot asks you to turn off VPNs and proxies while troubleshooting, run the checks above without the booster and only then compare your ping with it on. Results depend on your connection; no booster guarantees a fixed ping.

GearUP Booster has a 3-day free trial that turns into a paid subscription unless you cancel before it ends. If you subscribe, pick the 12-month plan, which has the lowest monthly price, and enter LEAVEN for 10% off. See the GearUP coupon code guide.
