Client is slowly deteriorating in efficiency

NatcHnN··8 votes·4,379 views

Honestly, I miss the point in time in which the client never really had any problems. Games overtime develop themselves to become more appealing to the eye rather than efficient for gameplay. The recent client has made the game worse on the best setups, and completely incompatible on some computers as well. It crashes far too much in champion select, it lags extremely in loading anything. I really thing riot needs to either make the "Low spec mode" much more effective at actually lowering the specs, or stop treating the client as if it's the most important aspect to the game and adding too many pixels to it. In-game aspects don't matter if the load-in to the game won't even function correctly, so please address this and make it known that some players' experiences are being completely ruined, thanks.

I whole heartedly agree with this. The client has been a big issue for many years now, and as far as I can tell, nothing has been done about it. And then they go and try to make a new client in preparation of the new games to come on top of an already busted client???? Who makes these decisions and why?

What does the year have to do with that lol. Some people are like 14 and their parents are mainly trying to feed them instead of spending a few hundred bucks on a pc.

I agree completely on this, and a huge chunk of the player-base for the game is well below 25, meaning they're either dedicating their money towards college, or living on no income at all.

I play on a mac, and macs are just highly incompatible with league even though they claim to be compatible with macs. I think it's a windows vs mac issue, but that's in my case. I'm speaking on behalf of those who struggle with client issues everyday.

and on the other hand I have an i7 9700k, RTX 2080, and 16GB of 3200mhz ram so best case scenario for this client to function and it's still a glitchy laggy mess with buttons that work only after you hit them then something else then hit them again.

agreed, I have multiple friends with i9 computers and very good rams, but still have issues unfortunately

He said a computer that can run LOL in 2020 he didn't say a high spec PC or a brand new one and considering I can run league on a 30-50$ dell laptop( Not anymore mind you) generally speaking people should be fine since technology like computers are actually easily accesible these days not to mention there are also computer cafe's where I'm at plus league, in general, can be run on just about any computer that doesn't use DOS/Mac(Mac is a bit of meh thing it's just not compatible). He frankly isn't wrong besides if your income can't even afford a 30$ laptop than I think playing league is the last thing you should be worrying about

Um so $30 laptops only exist on craiglist and don't work trust me. And also computer cafes are not that common, mainly only in big cities and not really available in the US. And my computer is a little but very nice and runs things rather smoothly. The problem is this multi-million dollar company that can't hold their shit together for anything.

If you really think a laptop costs $30, you're living in the wrong world

While I am speaking for myself, from a person who plays league on a laptop like a vast amount of players do, I am also speaking for those who play on different parts of the US away from the server. There are also many people who struggle with income and can't afford the typical stuff that you probably can. Not to mention that the "low spec mode" wouldn't harm those players that have higher-end computers because it's an option, but would significantly improve the gameplay experience for those who do not own such computers.
