The last time I tried streaming, my ping for League of Legends would jump from ~34 to 60-180. I have since upgraded both my service, router, and modem to newest models, and constructed a new computer.
This has dropped my ping substantially however not entirely, I still receive anywhere from 39 to ~60 ping. This is playable but still not optimal, and hardware issues are not the problem.
speedtest.net puts my download speed at 33.48 mbps and upload at 4.15 mbps.
I have gone into my internet settings, and made sure that my Quality of Service both had no restriction and gave gaming data priority over all other data sent.
Does anyone have any ideas as to why I am experiencing these small ping spikes and how I might reduce them further?

The common ground i saw/heard from a lot of streamers is to split up streaming and playing to different PCs and give the gaming pc priority in your router.
The game uses a low amount of data but needs fast replies for your ping so priority there.
The streaming processes large amount of data but considering you have a buffer the speed of the data coming through doesnt matter that much.
