New SR unplayable

Before everyone trolls this, i know my comp sucks, but Riot said there would be no performance changes between old SR and the updated one. That being said, I was getting 18-20 fps on old SR, with everything on lowest possible settings, yes I played like that, yes I played ranked, it never caused me any problems. However, after trying the updated SR today, I was getting 5-6 fps OUTSIDE of combat, like in fountain, and if anyone used a skill or two, it would drop to 2-3, and then a 5v5 teamfight happened, and i dropped to 0fps and stayed there for like 10-12seconds unable to do anything. 100% unplayable.

So riot, what's up with the huge performance drop on older, crappy pc's? any workaround fix?

Exactly the same- underwhelming pc, but still playable at 20+ (ish) old SR, and then 8~ fps whenever in new SR. Teamfights, as you said, just freezes.

I feel for you, but I don't understand how people with toasters bought that crap "oh yea, for the first time in the history of man, a graphics update will actually reduce the specs of a 5 year old game!" line of B.S

Runs great on a decent machine mate.

Hopefully this will fix as the beta goes on. I haven't had a chance to play it, but I usually run things pretty low and get about 20 fps as well. If it stays, it's going to suck playing at my house, where the wifi is slower than nasus wither
