Question / Help Dropped Frames while playing LOL

[edga]

Hey everyone,

I keep having an issue of dropping frames on League of Legends--I would like to stream at 720p with a decent quality.

Here is my set up and speedtest:

Have you tried setting the base resolution to 720p instead of 1080p (Video settings tab)?

Don't set your base res to 720p. It frankly makes your stream look like crap. I've tried it, the downscale works a LOT better.

Dropped frames mean a network issue. (It's lagged frames indicate a local issue, and you don't appear to be lagging much for the majority of your stream.) Speedtest won't help you here; it tests DEAD file transfers; takes the average rate of a file, which can run WAY below your 'rated' speed for most of the transfer, and spike WAY above briefly to make it even out.
Go run the 6MB test at http://testmy.net/upload and you'll get a better idea of your actual constant throughput.

Also, be aware that you'll need to leave some margin for the game's network communications (which also rely on constant, not burst-mode throughput). If your ISP is especially bursty, you may have a lot less constant/baseline throughput to work with than you think.
