As a Tryndamere main I have a problem. The ultimate is supposed to be instant and always able to be cast, but there are times where I'm 100% sure that I pressed the "ultimate key" before dying a couple ms later.
- I have a 120hz Monitor with GSync (but only get around 100 fps in
average) - I play with around 50ms ping
- I play with the Keyboard: HyperX Alloy Elite RGB w. Cherry Reds
My question is, is there a way to calculate how long it takes for the key input to register on Windows till when the game actually gets the input?
Like an Tool that is Listening on Key-Events from Windows and League of Legends itself. If not is there maybe anything else?
And are there settings which can help to reduce your input lag.

Would be pretty sure that its not a monitor response problem, its a ping or you pressed it too late problem.
Even if you pressed the ult button, you are not actually ulting until the server receives the signal that you pressed the R key; if in the eye of the server you died before you ulted, you died. The server is absolute.
Ping is calculated in the time it takes for a packet (a small amount of data) takes to go to the server and then come back (in milliseconds). So if your ping is 200 (a pretty bad ping yes) it would take about 0.1s (3 frames) between you pressing R and actually being in ult in the eye of the server.
There's a checkbox in the options to show your current ping, I just don't remember what is the name.
But your ping is only 50, so I would guess that you should just try to take a habit to activate a little earlier. In LoL you can be bursted down pretty quick, so maybe you feel like it was on time, but it was too late.
