The new client is way too slow

So sometimes my pc turn off when he starts getting really hot because of the game and i end up being afk (yes i have taken the worst graphics/resolution but it's still a bit too much for my computer, i know its shitty but i ain't bill gates i can't buy computer at thousands euro or dollars whatever) So after that i take some +20 min queue time for the next 5 games

So what I did is that I tried to play one game so i waited 20 min, i got into a game, someone dodged, and cuz the new client take 30 years to get back to normal when someone dodge i couldn't do the afk test so i was returned to the lobby I queued for an other 20 min, and then for no reason the new client said i was deconnected, so i checked my wifi by going on google and it was still totally ok but the new client couldn't reconnect me so it made me dodge And finally I don't have enough time anymore to play that one game So riot fix this plz i'm sure i'm not the only one that got that problem (and also allow us to have worse graphics than the worst we can have rn cuz i'm tired of having 5fps each teamfight)

I guess i should put that in report a bug but idk

Have you tried the "Low Spec Mode" they added? It's in the general settings at the top. If that's still too much for your computer, you seriously need an upgrade; there's only so much Riot can cut down on to accomodate low spec computers. It doesn't take thousands to run League, you could probably do a significant upgrade and run at max settings for 200$.

I have a PC that can run Battlefield 1 at 60 fps and at most, I paid 600$ but I also added stuff I didnt really need like more fans, a new hard drive even tho I had recently purchased one for my lower end PC, I just wanted it all brand new lol

If you feel like you're pretty handy, you can always just buy a new motherboard, CPU, GPU, and RAM.

I spent like $600 on mid level of those components recently. You can always keep your case, hard drives, and other components. Generally the core of your computer is those 4 items. Sometimes if you're CPU isn't THAT old, you can keep the motherboard (just make sure your new CPU matches the motherboard cpu chipset otherwise it won't fit) and RAM while just upgrading the CPU. That can go a ways.

Also, You are playing via wi-fi connection... expect random DCs and lots of lag. Try to wire it if you can(cable isnt too expensive, I think it goes around 20 cents per meter, depending on the country), might help quite a lot, especially if your router(access point) is in different room(and since you are using wi-fi, it probably is)
