Question / Help LoL (and PC in general) streaming tanks from 250FPS to 10-20FPS - it never used to.

Let me try to explain this issue I'm having.

I stream my LoL games to my Youtube Channel so that they automatically upload. I did this a lot a few months ago, and everything worked fine - streaming did not affect my PC's performance whatsoever.

Two days ago I tried streaming again and everything was fine, I captured the game perfectly with no issues.
However, yesterday when I tried, I could not start previewing or streaming without my entire PC's performance tanking in framerate performance. Ingame AND out of game. I installed OBS Studio thinking it might solve it but the constant preview in the new version just confirmed my suspicions.

I have no idea why this is suddenly happening now. I have played around with every setting, including lowering the BitRate to barely 100, but there is no effect. Previously I streamed with 2000 bitrate and 30FPS (stream) with scaled 720p. These settings worked perfectly 2 days ago.
