My game is pretty slow

Whenever I play a game the laning phase is fine and walking around and poking/trading, but when a teamfight appears my FPS drops to less than 1 and I can't do anything but look stupid to other people where I could be tanking or attacking the enemy.

I would like to know how I could improve my FPS? Most of the time it's something like 30 FPS (which looks perfectly fine to me) and when something 'intense' happens (including double kills, and other stuff like fights and kiting etc.) my FPS goes to either 12~ to basically 0. Any help on how to stop this? I've upgraded my graphics card a bunch and I don't really know what else I need to upgrade, but my computer is pretty good (or so I think).

Go into your video settings in-game. The best fix for FPS increase is to turn shadows to low, or off. Lowering your resolution and other settings may help too.

If you have a decent computer (I run the game at 60 FPS all the time on a dual core), and this isn't the only game or program that this happens to, your CPU could be overheating. Did you or someone take the heat sink off to look at the CPU? If you/they did, or it is overheating, apply some new thermal paste to it to stop it from overheating.
