Awful random stutters

[Hewdan4ck]

It varies from one match to other. Most of the matches dont stutter.
It's random, and if they occur, it'll be like that till the end of the match most of the time, but interval between stutters varies through the match.

I have the same stutter problems. Most of the time for me the very first game of the day is fine. But the second game starts stutter lagging in the same manner and I must pause and restart the game to fix it. 1 time I sat in lobby with friends for a long time before the first game and it started even in the first game. So there seems to be some form of "buildup/temp cache/RAM" (I don't know technical terms) that eventually goes full and causes it. Seeing as yours happen at the end of matches and not in the start of them it seems consistent.

I have no clips of it. But I am sure I can get some in the week and post, can post specs and settings as well but I change my settings frequently to try and fix it to no avail thus far. I do have 2k resolution which I read might be the cause.

About the resolution, i dont think it's the cause, because i play on 1080p

I'm having bad stutters too. Months ago I'd get them progressively more as the game ran. Usually I could restart my game and they would reside for a match or two. But now they are pretty constant. I get them within the first game I play of the day and they are so frequent that the game is practically unplayable. I can play but with a severe handicap. I stutter in a fight and I miss my shots/abilities. Tonight I definitely had multiple teamfights that I was losing because I was stuttering so bad.

I updated my drivers and regularly restart my pc. I'm not sure what to do at this point. It's so bad that I almost can't play the game without having a soured experience just due to the stutters and freezes.

I've been experiencing similar issues. It only occurs in longer sessions, after 1-2 games in a row. I will have hitches that last ~.25-.5 seconds, usually several in close proximity to each other before they suddenly stop. This will occur several times throughout the match.

I've seen others speculate about memory leaks in other previous performance reports but my performance seems to remain good outside of these hitches, as it does in your example.
