help me understand this ANDROID vs KABAM

is it androids processor or is it kabam that wont optimize its server to match up with iphone loading speed?

i tried going for the legend badge and in 3 hours 37 minutes i managed to 100% Heroic only..
i did my researched i watched many you tubers, did my homework.
i was sure and confident i could do both heroic and masters under 5 hours or so..
but the loading time in android was unbelievably slow. it took me on ravage, 15 - 20 seconds per loading in between fights.
i need answers cause this just totally destroyed my love for this game. i put a lot of resources into this challenge that cant be done with the phone i use.
sorry for my spelling

I think it's because there's only one os for Apple and a lot more for android.

It's easy to optimise for one os but with there being so many for android its not possible.
Android users will never get legend tags for speed runs

Kabam response on this was because there are a lot less iPhones than Androids, and optimize them all is easier.

I think that's a weak excuse tbh. Not saying it doesn't start with logic, but it's still weak. Having played plenty of mobile games, I've not noticed such a discrepancy between ios/Android before.

And if you've seen kabam's earnings, the workforce should never be a roadblock.

A lot of it is down the the jit (just in time) compiler an the way android has to load up the information before the fights, and it's true what kabams says about there being thousands of different android variants they have to work with whilst iOS only has a few an doesn't have the same issues with jit

Well, there is some truth in this thread.

The posts about the variety of different kinds of Android devices are mostly correct. There are 100s of thousands of different devices out there, and every single one of them is different. You may think that you have a high end device and that means that you should be able to run the game the smoothest, but your device manufacturer may have invested their resources in say... the processor, but not the GPU. It could run other games really well, but maybe not this one.

Another issue becomes different settings on devices that users have set. Are you Running a Custom OS? Do you have power saving modes on? Are you getting a lot of push notifications? These are just a few factors that can affect the performance of the game.

We don't optimize for iOS over Android, but there is simply no such thing as optimizing for Android, because there is no unified platform for Androids the way that there is for iOS. This doesn't mean that we're not trying though. We're always working on getting the game running quicker and smoother on all devices, with all different configurations, but like we've said before, this is a long term project, and not one we can do overnight. It will take a while.

Because this is a topic we've covered multiple times before, we're going to close this thread down.
