Lag + 60 FPS

Typhoon

I am very excited about 60 FPS in November, but I am also experiencing a lot of in-game lag this month, maybe more than I have all year. I know Kabam is doing a test tomorrow on the impacts of lowering visual quality to observe the effects on lag. I am worried that 60 FPS will compound the lag issue in November. I assume this is on Kabam's radar and likely why they are doing the test, but I'm also not a computer engineer, computer scientist, coder, and have generally no clue what that interaction normally looks like.

If I'm experiencing lag now, and it is not resolved by the November patch, should I be expecting this condition to get worse?

60 fps is optional u can play on 30 fps if you want

Can't speak to specifics of what to expect, but wanting to reduce lag is definitely a top of mind thing right now for sure. What device are you playing on just out of curiosity?

Thanks for the speedy response (and @captain_rogers).

Right now I'm on an Iphone 14 Plus, iOS 17.6.1. Most of my lag is coming in BGs during champ banning/champ selection and it has messed me up a couple times where I was not able to select the champion I wanted.

I don't know if it is because of the lag, but am I the only one experiencing dash back parry by the defenders? They can also parry a heavy attack now. This cost me two battlegrounds wins tonight.

I believe that is a separate issue with AI recovery that they are also looking into. I don't believe the two are connected, though, as mentioned above, this isn't my wheelhouse.

iPhone 12 and iPhone 8. The devices have been getting very hot while playing since about June of this year, and the higher temperatures increase shutdowns and lag. I am hoping for an improvement.
