Riot update droped my fps to 6?

52409615_DEL··1 votes·858 views

Hi, i always run this game uncapped at like 100+ fps, never have any troubles other than when Riot decides to do a garbage update/patch that everything gets fucked. So congrats Riot i lost my promos because i hoped in to a game i had 6 fps, i couldn't even play no matter how low i left the graphics.....So i get reported by 9 people potentially, lose LP and my promos because of the update and wasted my time + the potential ban i might get now for DCing, sorry i'm not staying in a game where i literally have 4-6 fps constant and can't even move, why is it fair that i get punished, there is no detection for low fps or no system to prevent this. How do i fix it now? What could possibly be causing this drop in FPS if nothing is updating or anything, how do i fix this so i can try to make up my lost promos, if i'm not banned already. I seriously fucking hate this company, they can't go a week without fucking the game up somehow

For starters, relax about the ban thing. It's one game, not a big deal. They only punish players who make a habit of leaving games. They intentionally made the system to have forgiveness for times you leave the game once in a blue moon (allows for technical issues, network issues, power loss, family emergencies, whatever). As long as you haven't left other games recently, you've got nothing to worry about.

As for the FPS issue, if you're the kind to leave the computer on all the time and don't reboot it often, give it a restart. Then hop back into a custom game and check your framerates. If it's still a problem, try updating graphics drivers to the latest available for your card. Again, hop into a custom game and see if it helps. If that doesn't work, try a client repair (from the launcher screen). It might take some time, but if there were some files that got corrupted or went missing, it'll fix those and it should hopefully resolve the issue.

If you did all those, it covers some of these steps, but I'd walk through the rest of Riot's FPS troubleshooting guide..

As it says at the bottom of the page, if there are still issues, you can submit a ticket to Riot support and they can offer further assistance.

To be honest, everyone will say it's your PC, but the thing is; this problem occurs every few patches riot has as of late. It is your PC, but something may have went wrong the the update as well. Certain players, no matter how good or bad their PC is, will receive massive FPS drops in game and sometimes sound tearing, but it eventually fixes itself in a day or so.

I remember a few months ago, a good chunk of players were receiving FPS drops since the latest patch at that time, and that wasn't the first case either.

Or something messed up on your computer, that is always an option. An update to a game is not going to just mess up your FPS, it would be a game wide issue. Maybe instead of blaming Riot maybe look at your equipment. [slayer-jinx-unamused]

Yeah except it was perfectly fine for 3 years straight, this always happens during the first days after the patch gets updated, i don't understand why. If it is my computer, what could be causing this? Also why is it that any other moba i play, like dota 2 hos never have troubles EVER, it's jsut this game.

don't look at me. if this is something that always happens you need to look at your computer. i play on a macbook, probably the worst computer to play league on (I love mac and I'm saying this) and i have zero problems with league.

i was going to say something along exactly those lines. riot didn't make your fps change, your computer couldn't handle something with the update. that is no one's fault but yours.

Yeah then why can it handle every other game? Why does Dota never give me any of these problems, it's exclusively league

Okay but why is league the ONLY game i ever have troubles with? this computer runs anything on ultra, but after League patches it freaks out and for 2-4 days prior to patch i have issues ranging from lag, to fps drops and bug splt when starting the game, disabling firewal or anti virus doesn't help. i'm also not the only one, my friends complain about the same thing

My guess could maybe be an out of date graphics driver, so it defaulted on On Board graphics, or cpu graphics, which are absolutely horrid.

When i got my new graphics card while back. I don't know why, but I forgot to update drivers, and it ran at like 10 fps. It was bad. Luckily it was only an aram, but still.
