Hello there!

We have a tool that lets us get more detailed performance info from your games. If you add a setting to your game.cfg file.

Cfg file is in C:\Riot Games\League of Legends\Config

You will need to add it under the [Performance] section.

LiveProfile=1

If you have that section included in your game.cfg, when you finish a game, it will generate a log that we can use to analyze the performance. You can find that log here: C:\Riot Games\League of Legends\Logs\Performance Logs

With a format like "2017-12-06T22-05-40_PerfDump.rpd"

If you set up that LiveProfile setting and generate any logs like that, we could use them to look more into the issue.

the only match i played against him https://matchhistory.euw.leagueoflegends.com/en/#match-details/EUW1/3521661158/225065320?tab=overview

saw his lag so i started perma ban him

ps: tell me if you can open the perfomance folder cause on my side there're some problems with the link

RiotRiotAthanatosFeb 7, 20187 votes

I'm unable to open your link for performance, its just getting me "Bad Request Error 400" :(. Any chance you can re-upload it?

AnataBakkaFeb 7, 20183 votes

done, i zipped everything and it works that way

don't know which of the files corresponds to the one in the match link, hope you do

do you think i should delete the old files?

RiotRiotAthanatosFeb 7, 201814 votes

Thanks a bunches, hopefully this can help save the day! (Ya, we can figure the correct match out)

Our engineers are taking a look right now and seeing if they can figure out why the performance is sucking for some people.

AnataBakkaFeb 8, 20184 votes

just a heads up. It's not only when he ults, i just need to point the camera over him and then i lag, it should be because of his passive if i'm not mistaken, the one when the crow takes the soul and goes to him

RiotRiotAthanatosFeb 8, 20181 votes

Ya, the majority of the reports we've got show that it happens for people just by looking at him. The weirdest thing about this issue though is that people aren't getting the issue when they play AS Swain. But only when he is an enemy/ally.

in lan also the community complains, PLEASE RITO Disable a swain KABOOM my Pc

MCPOONSpartan117Feb 8, 20182 votes

Maybe it's because of the ravens? Swain is always followed by several ravens when he's moving. I can barely play in 20 FPS and right now, Swain makes me play in 7(just like Lucian's animations or Nasus E). I know it's our computer's fault but I'm not willing to buy a beast for 1 game. PLS fix this, Riot because it's the only game I'm playing on my (shitty) Computer.

Ariel the CruelFeb 8, 20182 votes

Plot twist: Lag is the master tactician's real passive! XD

RiotRiotAthanatosFeb 8, 20182 votes

Swain Plz. Not like this.

MEMELORD SUPREMEFeb 8, 20181 votes

any good news?

ExterRalationFeb 8, 20181 votes

Are you guys going to disable swain? It seems redundant to ban swain in rank, if he is making other people lose fps and causing lost games.

RiotRiotAthanatosFeb 8, 20184 votes

The lag seems to be happening to a small amount of people on any type of computer, ranging from toasters to fancy new powerhouses. Doesn't seem to have any rhyme or reason that we've identified at this point.

Thanks for the honesty lol. Also if you have free time the team really needs to give some thought into what could be causing these collision issues, there's video proof that something's up https://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/bug-report/6U3VW1mc-minion-champion-collision

RiotRiotAthanatosFeb 12, 20182 votes

As a note, this should be fixed on Live now but if you get the issue ever again let me know!

AnataBakkaFeb 12, 20181 votes

aye, does seem so. Thx a lot. Can you say what was the problem? Passive or some general technical stuff i won't be able to understand?

Since my pc is a toaster i feel the decrease in fps pretty easy. Can i tell you in which other areas my fps always drop?

Wait that's hella cool.

Because your computer is trying to calculate 5 steps ahead and can't keep up...

big boi edriFeb 7, 20188 votes

In order to really deal damage, Swain needs to invest heavily into AP and also basically be on top of you. To help facilitate this, they've balanced him by adding a new passive:

Hamster Wheel The closer Swain gets to the enemy team, the lower their FPS goes. Scaling form 1-18, 15-120 (at 18) FPS drop.

They created a video suggesting counter play such as, "Uncapping your frame rate."

Also in unrelated news, Riot has entered into a partnership with Mac to release a new iMac Pro, "Swain Train" edition. Yours for the low price of $14,999.00. They went with a more "extreme" case than your regular iMac.

I am having frames drop whenever I'm near the guy.[zombie-nunu-tears]

just2GDFeb 7, 20182 votes

same here

Suicide Sheep666Feb 7, 20183 votes

Same thing happening to me. Whenever he's on my screen my fps drops from 80 to ~30 but it feels way worse

Rajin Kajin Feb 7, 20183 votes

Yeah, it's not even when he ults for me. My whole team loses if he's on the enemy team, simply because we cannot go near the guy without dropping to 15 fps

Me No kill youFeb 8, 20182 votes

15 fps just play well honesly. your gameplay gets no penality for 15 fps

Mr Brightside098Feb 8, 20181 votes

Im getting 2 FPS

Sooo....

Broken champs get through PBE... Then now also performance gets through PBE into live...

What's the point of the PBE again??

When ever i come next to swain or he uses an ability my fps drops please riot we understand its a rework but why our fps? i mean we are barely playing this game with 50-60 fps please riot fix it.

OatheSwornFeb 9, 20182 votes

This happened to me in my ranked promos to Gold 3 and to be honest it was very tilting. I won the game but could not carry because my screen would freeze every time Swain appeared in my vision (even across map). It seems to dial down if you put your graphics settings to 'Low' but even then you have the occasion frame skip. Also I played against him in normals and it wasn't as bad as it was on ranked (I don't know if Riot semi-fixed it) but if you got within a small radius of him your fps would drop regardless of graphic settings. Please fix this or just disable him until a solution is found.

AnataBakkaFeb 7, 20181 votes

please fix, it's unplayable, i'm going to only play draft and permaban him

Hehe, we in Europe wish to "have to" play Draft at 6AM.

SilencegaFeb 8, 20181 votes

hopefully they will fix it soon. this is literally terrible, just lost as vlad to him because any time he would even appear on my screen i would drop to 25 fps

Me No kill youFeb 8, 20181 votes

lol 25fps is actually a lot. you can't play less good because of it

Me No kill youFeb 8, 20181 votes

thx for swain support. cause he isnt a carry anymore. When I play the new swain, it really feels like a support gameplay to me and I find it sad

wishbone25Feb 8, 20181 votes

swain ults is absorbing FPS all over the place pls fix that bug huge one !! [slayer-pantheon-popcorn]

Me No kill youFeb 8, 20181 votes

I dont see any fps drop. and I play the game at 250 fps

LivelyFlameFeb 9, 20181 votes

I dont see any fps drop. and I play the game at 250 fps

cause you play with 250 fps, people down in 60fps are seeing slide shows

VixenKissFeb 8, 20181 votes

Same issue here also, i am capped a 120 fps, but when ever i try to walk up to a enemy/allied Swain my fps drops to "15" basically making my games unplayable sadly.

[slayer-jinx-unamused]

Yaśuo MainFeb 8, 20181 votes

Same here, legit. Not only was my ally swain making me lag but I had one on the enemy team as well, causing me to tilt and almost throw the game because I can't do anything other than spam abilities into where I think they are

The Darius KingFeb 8, 20181 votes

I haven't seen or had an fps drop with him In game

LeJackulationFeb 8, 20181 votes

Day 2 and he still isn't disabled RIOT I Would love to be able to ban another champ that isn't swain

Butt ΡlugFeb 8, 20181 votes

Please fix this it's totally unplayable so my only solution is to ban him every game.. It doesn't happen only when he ult tho, it was making me lag when he was lvl 4.

lbasalFeb 9, 20181 votes

FPS drop so hard

LeJackulationFeb 9, 20181 votes

UPDATE

I played a swain on Twisted Treeline with the white/blue snow skin and little lags, but his particles would make part of the map go blue and white. Rito pls. When he comes into frame still its drags my fps down regardless to where its noticeably choppy
