Question / Help Ping skyrockets when I stream League?

Whenever I stream League of Legends my ping ingame goes from 80ms to around 150-190ms and makes the game very hard to play. I always see streamers streaming and playing at the same time without lag and I have no idea how. I've played with countless settings in OBS and League but just can't seem to get rid of it. Any suggestions?

Here are the logs from the last time I tried streaming:

First recommended thing to do is try "minimize network impact" in broadcast settings -- it reduces the impact of the stream on other programs (such as LoL) on your system. Basically it will attempt to reduce your game ping (note that it can increase the likelyhood for framedrops, but if your connection is stable it's usually fine)

Thank you so much!! This fixed it phenomenally! down to 90-105ms! Perfectly playable! And surprisingly no quality difference in the stream!
