How to Reduce Input Lag
If you have a stable internet connection connected via LAN and high-quality peripherals, input lag will be at a minimum but network lag can cause input lag which you have might not have any control over. 1-way network lag is based on game server locations, your (and your opponents) geographic locations, and Riot Direct routing paths. Riot is targeting <17.5ms for 70% of the player population but that is not possible globally at the moment.
