Recently my game lags so bad that I can't play at all. It's like a small lag every 5 sec. No problem playing offline, it only happens when I play online. But there's nothing wrong with my internet connection, how can I fix it? :(

try checking your ping. sometimes your connection can be fine but the connection between you and the host is somehow disrupted causing high ping and uncontrolled lag. Hope this helped
