U see this toaster? Thats my laptop when I click on "ARAM" when choosing what to play.

And here he is again last night when he saw that YouTube video of the new slimy sticky bridge (Looks great but i bet its the stinkiest place in runeterra):

Yeah look at him! See how worried he is looking at that pile of stuff around the bridge?!

Seriously: Cant wait to try this map on desktop, but me and the girlfriend want to team up every day. And with the pool-party minions and the new turret and minions on ARAM grinding down more and more FPS on her laptop... I start to think that we will need to cool-down our team up habits untill we can by a new laptop for her.

Please! Please consider adding an option that can turn background models On/Off. Please!

We don't actually need to see all that stuff around the bridge in order to play. And when your playing with 12-18 fps 3 more mean a lot.

TL;DR:

Option for this:

To be made just in to this:

In order for toasters to have fun too!

Give it time. They said they are still working on optimizing it. That is why it is still on the PBE.

Still don't know how the little one is gonna perform here, but the HA has a less crowded relief around the its not easy for the laptop to run it, he still manages...

Don't you think this will be a nice option to have?

I think it would be a nice option. I just want to give them the benefit of the doubt and see if they can get it running well enough that it isn't an issue.

Good news, the new AMD R9 390X is now king of mid-range affordable power. Roughly the power of a 980 (not Ti) but for about $80 cheaper (than a 980, not a 980 Ti).

If you have even a semi-competent budget for your tower, there is no more excuse for it being a mere toaster.

But seriously, don't game on laptops....

Dude... Did u even read my post?

I have a monster PC, upgrading it constantly, with a nice dell pro monitor; Both me and my girlfriend play and work on it but its troublesome when we need to team up and use her laptop. We plan to by for her an new one but that will take a little time...

But in the meantime why would u be bothered if an option like this is integrated in th game?

Even if we by the new laptop tomorrow, we have irl friends that play and come to visit - bring out the old laptop and have great lol party.

I'm just recommending parts if she wants to build her own PC.

supposedly they made it workable in most toasters, just like the more recent summoners rift

PastramkaJun 26, 20151 votes

Yeah, they helped Im not saying they dont care, the title was meant just to be funny, but 40 min on the rift and the poor thing starts overheating.

This I think make much more bigger impact.

Was asking the same here:

Ice Cube the fucker!

(By this i mean get a couple of those blue ice container box thingies and put the under the laptop)

I actually managed to make something like this:

From a pack of cigarettes and a small CPU fan hooked to a phone charger, was for my sisters laptop, dont know what she has done to it...

Might try something like that again.

Holy crap every time I play Warframe I feel like my computer will just spontaneously catch fire at any moment.

I play on a 5 year old standard laptop and I rarely ever lag on ARAM unless there's connection issues

Mine is black... Since we share irrelevant info on how powerful our machines are. :P

Seriously: Its still playable on HA, but i think BB will be a problem. Don't know how hard it is my suggestion to be implemented but i will appreciate it a lot if they can pull it of.

How does Summoners Rift run on the laptop? Looking through the video of the Butcher's Bridge, I noticed some areas where they had textures only on one side, intentionally to make it easier on weaker machines.

PastramkaJun 26, 20151 votes

When it first came out it was better than HA, but patch after patch the FPS drops are more prominent, even in small fights in lane among minions. I think that every small change they made had an little effect; like new minions, then new minion death animations etc. Its still playable until 3th match in a row, than it needs to cool off for a bit, no mater if it is an ARAM or a classic.

Overall the laptop barely does a acceptable performance so i don't think he will manage more than 15 min on this new map.

Dont know why but playing on it plugged in with a cable to the router instead of using WiFi helps it with his temperature a bit.
