Question / Help Laggy stream

Been trying to get my stream smooth while still having decent quality, which I figured might be doable with my computer/connection, but whenever I've tried to stream over 480p, the video starts skipping after a minute or less for a few seconds at a time. Would like to be able to stream at at least 720p and I'm now wondering if that would be possible if I perhaps change something? Streaming League of Legends with a cam, an image overlay and a text for music.

Hm, ok do you still get stream choppiness if you don't go higher than 3000 bitrate? You really shouldn't be using any higher than 3500, twitch generally doesn't like you streaming past that. Also, don't watch your stream on the same PC you are streaming from, it impacts performance. Do a test stream and then watch the VOD after.
