****************UPDATE *****************

Hey guys, someone might've found a fix to the bug. I haven't tested it for myself. Let me know if it works for you.

what you do is go to your sound tab and turn the rift music to class (not "updated"). Props to Gutzzs(EUNE)

****************UPDATE *****************

note: title should be 'experiencing lag fps drops'

Hi,

I'm experiencing a noticeable drop in frame rate during team fights. landing phase experience no frame issues (1v1), nor do skirmishes (2v2/3). However, when there are a lot (10) of people in a close proximity (within a 2x2 screen area), I experience a drop in frame rates. I usually get 30 or above, but I experience maybe 14-15 during team fights.

add: this is on summoner's rift, after patch 6.6. I had no problems like this prior to the update. FPS drop also occurs on ARAM.

How to reproduce:

  1. Log into LoL
  2. Queue for ARAM or Normal Draft
  3. Get into team fight (5v5)
  4. Witness lag.

My computer: MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2009) OS X Yosemite version 10.10.5 2.26 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo 8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3 NVIDIA GeForce 9400M 256 MB

Same thing is happening to me. I'm a Mac user as well (I have a Macbook Air) and ever since patch 6.6 for some reason whenever I get into a team fight my fps drops drastically. During lanning phase and trading I'm completely fine, but for example, my team starts to siege mid and someone gets caught, the fight commences, and I start lagging out of nowhere. This hasn't happened before the new patch. Someone from Riot please help. item 3070

SAME HERE! i have the same stuff your computer has, while i jg i hear lots of cracking noises am like... ok? This happened 2-3 days. I didnt mind the Team fight lag at first because, i was like it must be servers or something it will go away in some hours. Hours turned to days lol. But now its been 2-3 days and i hate it. I am losing ranked matches duo to this sadly. Atm am repairing my files see if it helps. Rito why curse us Mac users...Amumu

I am also having a ton of frame rate dropping on my mac. It is unplayable at the moment. Worked fine before patch 6.6

Try to turn off the in-game sound!

Yes, same thing happening to my macbook air too. Just can't do anything with image slide-like frame during teamfights. Other skirmishes are fine but it's just 5v5 teamfights making me lag. I tried restarting my macbook after about 20mins but doesn't solve the problem. Even tried shutting down all my other apps but nah -.-

I am experiencing the same problem. In teamfights I get soundcracks, FPS drops and huge lags (6fp/s)

Same here! It made me lose my Silver to Gold promos and made me really sad :(

Normally I'm at 30-40 fps wherever whenever, which is perfectly fine for me. Then teamfights come and the only thing I can do is maybe press an ability and attack-move at < 10 fps, (while my teammates do most of the work, I mainly play tanks so its not that big of a deal).

It really only happens in all-out brawls, and by the time about 3-5 people have died it quickly hops right back up to normal fps.

I would love if this would be fixed, I really want to finish to Gold this week (spring break)

Thanks riot for listening!

I have the same problem… Everything was fine before 6.6. My settings are the same and I tried to put them to lowest quality and it doesn't change.

I hope Riot won't let us down, I wanted to try Aurelion Sol but i can't team fight :(

Exact same circumstances here in that I only 'stutter' during teamfights and when lots of people are grouped together. I'm currently using a MacBook Air (13-inch, Mid 2013), with Yosemite 10.10.5 installed. Got a hunch that it might have to do with the OS but I'm not sure. So I've also got a support ticket going and I'll show them this thread to show that its not just me.

Hopefully they fix this soon.

Same here. It has never happened before but since 6.3 or later the lag became worse. I just had a game where my fps dropped to 5. Made me ult the tank instead of the adc and eventually lost the game item 3070 Even during spectate the fps drops too. Will try to fix it with what u provided and hopefully it works.

I have the exact same problems. I've always had low FPS, but enough to play the game. My screen almost freezes during team fights, and this was not a problem at all pre patch 6.6. Would love if any one had a solution or so :)Teemo

Soundcracks when jungling and soundcracks+lag when teamfighting. This happens since the 6.6 patch.

I am using the MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2015). Specs: 2.5 GHz Intel Core i7, 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3, AMD Radeon R9 M370X 2048 MB. Settings in League of Legends: 1440x900, low quality, no v-sync or anti-aliasing.

I do not think it's a performance issue with my notebook; I think it is strictly from the changes in the latest patch.

edit: repairing the LOL client did not work.
