Every time Thresh
appears from the Fog of War the fps drops significantly low to the point where your game looks like it just froze for a second.
I'm not very sure about Varus
though. So far I've only noticed Thresh that's the problem so far.
SirArcticWarfare5 votescan we get a hurry on this. just spent my money last night on him. now you are telling me i cant playhim :(
A Supreme Sloth2 voteswell when the skin is broken xD
WaterMang03 votesI'm having a similar effect. I was playing against a dark star thresh and my frames dropped every time he appeared.
thr3midgets3 votesmy frame rate doesn't drop. it just wont load any frames for the next .1 sec
Exanator2 votesI have the same problem, every time Thresh appears after a longer time out of fog of war, the game does not load any frames in the next second
Wesowang2 votesI am having the same issue. Every time Thresh was not visible for a decent amount of time my frames won't load for 1 sec when a he appears.
71883083DEL12 votesI played against dark star thresh earlier and every time I saw him, there was a quick drop in fps (I am always at 60) but it wasn't too bad. I used to play on laptop so it doesn't really effect me.
Riotmoonstones2 votesHey Yuno is God,
Thanks for the report! The issue is related to FoW. We're in the process of working on a fix for the issue.

Smexhy2 votesIt was just diabled and it's "invisible" now. You must wait until they will fix that FPS drop bug.
I Vayne Any Lane1 votesThe loss of frames is one thing... but fix the relic shield bug. It doesn't worth with Dark Star thresh unless he actually last hits the minion.
Twilight Realm5 votesYou mean the Relic Shield doesn't execute minions? It only does that when being used by a melee champion. Thresh is a ranged attacker, thus it doesn't execute minions. It's not a skin bug.
Noxian Pride2 votesTo expand on this a bit, Thresh is in a bit of a unique position regarding relic shield: His attack is ranged, but the way its animation works makes the time between swinging and actually hitting function similarly to melee. This on top of the bonus damage from his Flay makes it considerably easier to get last hit on minions than with other ranged champions. He doesn't have the execute, but he doesn't need it either.
EmperorGabe1 votesWhen will this issue be resolved? Around how much time?
Riotmoonstones2 votesUnfortunately, no ETA, but from what I understand, we're in the process of verifying a fix for this issue.

Sir. Good day to you. They took Thresh on Sunday, and since then i was asking anywhere and everywhere for an answer to my question. The questions are: 1. Why is there no ETA for the fix since the issue is not from 2 hours ago, or a day ago, its from Saturday ? 2. Why did Rito rush the release and did not test and fix that on PBE where it should be tested and fixed be4 it went live? 3. Why does it take so long? 4. Do you need help. Cause if it takes you 3 days ( or more ) to fix a model integration bug ill gladly lend a hand just so i can get what i wait since it was just a rumor in the dev's office? 5. Can we at last get some solid answers? We have a right to know.
Please do answer if you can. I am eager to know when will the skin come back live. Every door i knock i hear silence.
Riotmoonstones4 votesHi hi! (I'm a chick, btw. :P)
There is rarely an ETA on instances like this because we do not know how long something is going to take to resolve. In this case, it's not a ten minute fix. We had Rioters working over the weekend in order to get a fix as soon as possible.
This issue was not caught on PBE, nor in testing. We did not receive a report from both the team testing internally, nor from PBE players.
As mentioned in the first reply, the issue isn't a quick fix, and in addition to the fix itself, we also need to thoroughly test the fix to ensure what we're putting on live doesn't affect any other content, particularly Thresh as a champion.
Nope, we have a team in full force resolving this issue.
You do have a right to know, and I hope this reply explains a bit more in regards to this issue.
Practyc5 votesThank you KateyKhaos for answering these questions. Even though they may have been asked in a rude manner. We still appreciate the communication and responses from the staff on the forums.
BlameItOnTheSupp1 votesThank you KateyKhaos for answering these questions. Even though they may have been asked in a rude manner. We still appreciate the communication and responses from the staff on the forums.
I have not intention of being rude. Just blunt and open. But thx for your opinion.
Practyc1 votesAlright, then that's my bad for misinterpreting. :)
BlameItOnTheSupp1 votesMy apologies miss, with all due respect, you told me everything and nothing in the same time. Thank you for answering at least. I'm sorry that i posted again. I did not respect a reply. Anyhow, i must be just rly pissed about the 4th day ( maybe even 5th , and i bet there will be a 6th ) of the unresolved issue. It's the only skin that i actually like. Regards to you and your work. Ty for your time.
Riotmoonstones1 votesI understand your frustration fully, and we're sorry this has occurred - it wasn't something we anticipated (obviously). We want to get this guy back on the Rift ASAP.
If you have any other questions, I'd be happy to answer what I know. :)
Dark Sun Eater1 votesCould the ppl that bought Dark star Thresh already maybe get the ward from it or Thresh icon for profile? :3
BumbleKnees1 votesif its not need to know what ended up being the issue? like what caused it?
Dark Sun Eater1 votesHey Miss Katey, I wanted to ask you if you have a date when Dark star thresh is activated again, i only played one game and now I am waiting until he gets activated again, pls answer me 
[zombie-nunu-tears]
Riotmoonstones1 votesHey -
I checked in this morning with the team, and we do not have an official ETA.
For some context on how this process works, particular in this case,
We receive the reports that it's not working.
Reproduce the issue on our end and create a ticket.
Developers (resources vary based on what needs to be fixed - for this, it's more of a designer/engineer aspect) start investigating the issue and look for the root cause. This could be an issue in the script, an issue with code, or various other scenarios. It can take longer for some issues than others when tracking down a root cause.
We find the root cause. (Hooray!) Now, we begin the task of fixing the issue, which again, time can vary, depending on what's going on.
Developer has a fix. QA verifies the fix is working on an internal platform. QA also verifies that this fix won't break anything else - so for Thresh, we're checking that we aren't overwriting any files, we aren't breaking something else in the process, things like that.
If the fix works, we move it to an external environment, something like PBE where it's considered a full build (something players would play on - as live of an environment we can get without it actually going to live itself). We test in several locations to ensure the fix isn't failing once it's in a full build. (Issues can work on an internal platform, but goof up once built out. We do this with all bugs we fix, actually!)
If the fix fails, we're looking to repeat some of the previous steps, which is why getting a fix for something can take longer than most would expect.
Again, we do apologize for the inconvenience here - we know it sucks not being able to play the content you've been waiting for, or have already purchased.
On our side, we want to make sure the fix that we push to live (via small patch / hot fix, whatever you'd like to call it), works, so that we can turn him on and get everyone back on the Rift, supporting in style.
I hope this post at least informs you a bit more about the process of how this has been going down, and to give a bit more clarity, rather than remaining silent on the issue.
I realize this isn't the answer you're looking for 'cause I don't have an ETA for you (and again, I'm super sorry about that), but I'm happy to keep a healthy conversation going around this and posting any additional information I'm able to provide.
Dark Sun Eater2 votesThats the beautifuliest answer i ever got <3 , i am pretty young, but i like IT-stuff, and just for that i can wait ;D can you maybe write me a message when Thresh gets activated? and also it means, you dont have a day where it comes out? and how far you with the points you listed on top?
Riotmoonstones1 votesHiya! He's actually turned back on! :D
Practyc1 votesThank the team that worked on this issue from me please! They do a great job and i know many others appreciate the work they do to!
Thanks for the updates Katey! :D
Riotmoonstones1 votesCan do! They've been killing it (and working weekends) to get this dude back in the game! Enjoy him, and please play nice with George! :3
Always glad to help! Sorry, this took a bit longer than expected!
Dark Sun Eater1 votesDInally i can consume the world with a dS thresh and my adc DS varus! we will consime everyone! and give geirge a new home! xD
Dark Sun Eater1 voteslel that gramma
shadyhobos1 votescould you check the same for the kindred galaxy skin it causes the same issue with me and my friends
Riotmoonstones1 votesYup - we're already investigating. There's a lead that may be due to particular graphics cards, but nothing has been locked down 100% as to why it's occurring.
havarddg992 votes_I just spent my money to buy rp and then get dark star Thresh. but I cant buy the skin now. please fix this bug. I really want this skin and I really want to try it out, it looks so cool.
Teemaka ot Lulin2 votesSame as Super Galaxy Kindred
SoryInAdvance1 votesthat's just you then.
shadyhobos1 votesi made a post about and no its not just him it's happened to me and several of my friends
blarbinator1 votesCan confirm, just played a game against someone using the skin, every time he came on screen there was a noticeable stutter. Even if i was looking around in my base and he was revealed in their base it would happen.
ExcitedElectrode1 votesSame here. I usually run 60 FPS then it stutters HARD and when I come back I'm down to 18 FPS.
DraGGixOn1 votesPlease make it fast becouse i wanna buy the new skin , i have already rp so gotta go fast riot! hope u do it rly fast*[zombie-nunu-tears]*
srakely1 votesThis is ridiculous, I shouldn't find myself regretting buying this skin.
Practyc1 votesSadly it's part of the game. They can't catch every bug that comes out. Sure you have the skin but if they don't make the fix then the game doesn't run smoothly. I played one game as Dark Star Thresh, and it sucked.. Every time it would freeze for a quick second i would either screw up a hook, or a flash flay. In my opinion, i would rather wait a little and get the full experience, the way it was designed.
Caramell Kidd1 votes
shadyhobos1 votesplease also check out kindreds galaxy skin because i have the same issue with frames dropping really low as to where it just stops for a split second. http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/bug-report/XeiALk3f-gameplay-kindred-galaxy-skin
HotAsianChef1 votesWill Darkstar Thresh still be on sale when it is released in the store again ? my friend told me it was on sale before they took it off but im not too sure. Ty for your time ^^
iskillzi1 votesIdk about anyone else but I would be so happy if there was a big gift given out to everyone who purchased him with the dark star thresh icon, an ip boost or really anything to make up for the fact that he's been disabled for 5 days now.
This is a skin that requires a purchase of $20, so I'm sitting here in limbo with no $20 and no skin just kinda twiddling my thumbs.
Spunky1 votesWhen I was playing as Freljord Taliyah in a game Heimerdinger was afk using a pink ward in krug camp and turret to remain in combat instead of getting a DC for being afk. Also had a leblanc a nidalee and a thresh with abyss skin. I experienced HUGE fps drops from my usual 250~ range to 18-40. My ping was at a stable (and as per usual) of 40~. I'm fairly certain something is wrong with Thresh as a champion. That is the only thing I can think of that would result in huge fps drops to the point where gameplay itself appeared frozen, almost like the effect lag-spikes cause.
this makes me so sad
