First time ever posting on this forum so i'm sorry if something is wrong. Recently i wanted to start streaming, downloaded OBS studio for the first time and looked up a lot of tutorials and etc, however, there is a small lag when i stream, the screen freezes for 2-3s and then goes back to normal, but it always has this freeze.
Also, my game ping goes from 40 to 140 or somewhere around there, my download speed is about 25, and my upload is 2 (i know it is pretty bad but it's what i can afford), the game i'm trying to stream is League of legends.
Hopefully someone can share some light on the problem, here's the log:

Ok, messed around a bit here and there and got my ping to get normal again, my bitrate was at 2000 and i lowered to 1200 and it fixed my ping, the stream freeze is gone too, i believe it was the bitrate too because it was the only thing i change besides putting the setting to ''max quality'' since it had a bad quality. The last problem now is that the stream isnt so smooth compared to the game itself, working on that right now if anyone know how to solve please do say it.

there is a small lag when i stream, the screen freezes for 2-3s and then goes back to normal

I would try the following in this order:
1) Update Windows to current version.
2) Uninstall GeForce Experience. Then download and install current version and GPU drivers
3) Change your FPS rate for LoL to be lower. Try 30 and 45 FPS.
4) Reduce bitrate to be well under 2Mbps. Target to be 10-20% less in the 1600-1800 kbps range.
5) Change output resolution to 640x480 (480p) and also try 1600x900 (900p)

Fiddle with the output resolution, FPS rate, and bitrate in different combinations. It will take a bit of work but you'll find a good baseline to work around. If you Internet connection is spotty, one of the things you will be fiddling with a lot is the bitrate. So be aware of this.

But to make sure your expectations are in place, your stream is going to struggle if you only have 2Mbps upload. You don't have a very strong CPU and GPU combination either. To be honest, you really need to get a better computer and increase upload speed to be above 8Mbps+ if you are going to have any chance of streaming at higher resolution and better viewing quality to todays user's computing environment.

Have fun
