Dragonskin Corki Framerate Drop

Tremlin Grendel·Dec 5, 2014·1 votes·822 views

While I noticed this issue has been discussed briefly in October after few searches, I do not see a font of information on the issue.

In short, the skin for Dragonwing Corki seems to create a massive drop in frame-rate during some of his abilities. This is particularly disabling in team fights.

I do not have any supporting evidence nor do I own the skin myself to recreate the conditions, but the effect seemed to be so exclusive and decisive in one match, that I thought I would report the issue, and see if others have come across it and/or can recreate the conditions to get this resolved.

Thank you for reading, and I hope you all have a good game.

Because Jayce's ability produces a ton of particle effects in a very short period of time, just like dragonfire corki's. Some of velkoz's abilities are the same way, which is the main reason i hate laning against him. It's putting alot of pressure on your graphics card, you either need to upgrade or turn down your graphics settings.

the thing is i used to play on even higher settings not so long ago and had 0 fps issues(i mained jayce few months ago 0 lags, now its impossible cuz of this bug) its the 4.1x patch which broke the game for me, game runs smoothly and my fps is capped otherwise its just those 2 instances which fuck up my fps to unplayable level

The 4.1 patch was a while ago, it's possible they updated the particle effects of some skins that patch to make them look prettier, but therefore also increasing the load on your GPU. I recommend reading the patch notes to see if my guess is correct.

i appreciate the input but i even upgraded GPU since then and my fps is capped in full 5v5 team fights (ofc when those 2 particular champions arent in game), but whenever i use gate on jayce even solo i get 1-2 sec frame freeze? they fucked up something and it isnt my computer, its not like that happened first time they break the game every few patches and make buying items in shop complete lag fest for majority of people
