High latency even though ping is normal?

Is there a way one could have high latency even though the ping looks totally fine? I played 2 games today and 1. everything felt super clunky and 2. I had super weird things happen like enemy irelia suddenly being on top of me even though i should have seen her coming and me as camille just apparently falling off of walls after i e to them(didnt think about it at first but maybe it registered the second cast into the wall and i just didnt see it because of weird latency)

Had a constant ping of 40 throughout the whole game though

Packet loss may be the reason

It happened to me when I was duplicate projecting my laptop screen on my TV via wifi. Same FPS and Ping but just some weird lag/unresponsiveness. I think some background stuff can affect your network packets even if your ping to the server doesn't change

You probably have a Windows Update that needs to be installed. I get this occasionally and whenever I do, I go to update settings and sure enough, there is an update ready

Had a game where it started and both mid laners were walking around each other without attacking. I went to kill the guy, but there was an invisible wall that kept me from going into mid lane. Then my character froze. Then when it unfroze, everyone else started stutter walking. Looking at my ping, it stayed 60ms as always. I think the ping overlay is just a lie most of the time. You can tell the game is laggy just by clicking back and forth. It feels like you're submerged in jello.

Luckily doing a windows update like someone suggested has apparently fixed it for today. Didn't have such an extreme case ever, but in the same game i mentioned in the post i had a couple occasions were i didn't even have time to react to irelia walking up to me and killing me, because on my screen she just suddenly appeared on top of me.
