Pixel 4 Adaptive Refresh Rate (60/90hz) causing issues?

A few questions. Does the screen refresh rate of a phone impact the game's smoothness? I got a pixel 4 which has adaptive screen refresh rate of 60/90hz. Supposedly the pixel 4 will kick into 90hz under certain conditions or when using certain apps. Maybe just a coincidence but sometimes the game kicks into this very fluid state where it looks beautiful. Is that the results of 90hz refresh rate?
I also noticed more dropped inputs and also I would often execute a heavy during my 5 hit combo. I would go M LL (then all a sudden do a Heavy). So not sure if there is an issue with the Pixel 4's adaptive refresh rate when playing MCOC? 6 hours later of dealing with this I decided to turn off the adaptive refresh rate and play only at 60hz and the game seems to be slower but inputs seem to be working again....
Is this all in my head or is there some type of relation here?

@Kabam Miike can you verify this issue by chance?
“Drop it down to 60hz and for some reason the issue goes away but the frame rate becomes laggy.
There are threads regarding this issue and Kabam can't seem to reproduce the problem and fix it.“
Dont you think that you answered your own question? Maybe because it has nothing to do with Hz but something to do with current game version.

You should read about differences between FPS and Hz, to understand that it has nothing to do with your gameplay. Increasing Hz does not magically increase your game FPS because contest of champions is locked at 30fps and there is no way to increase game fps past 30.
Contest of Champions is not capped at 30fps on Android. Most Android phones have a 30fps cap. Some don't.
Changing the Hz on these high end devices allows the game to run at higher FPS, on a Razer Phone 2 it usually runs at around 117FPS (we can display our FPS on the screen while in-game)
This issue is specific to high FPS Android devices - it's an unintended heavy mid-combo. Most of the issues in the IOS thread seem to be people dashing back when trying to do a heavy. Totally different.
You are mistaken in that game can support 120hz instead of 120game fps. There is big difference.
Here you go, a screenshot of a Razer Phone 2 running the game at 118 FPS.
Now please, stop trying to prove to us that facts aren't real.
edit: here you go, see if you can find MCOC on this list:

The game will run a lot smoother in 90 hz because mcoc supports 90 or 120 fps. I believe you can force 90 hz all the time from developer options in pixel 4. I play on my OnePlus 7 pro in 90 hz and it runs smooth as butter which is great because I play a lot of arena. And it just looks and feels great too.
About that bug, it's in all the high refresh rate devices. I'm still facing this issue and I cannot tap the screen as often as I used to ( if you've ever noticed we do a five hit combo but during that time we tap the screen a lot more than five times). So I try to tap less often and don't keep my finger for too long on the screen (otherwise the game will register that as a heavy) and lift the finger as soon as I tap it. I'm used to this now.
They ruined the game for us in ver. 24. You can make a post in bugs and knows issues.
No performance issues in aq, aw or harder contents. I haven't faced any lags or stutter of any kind against a tougher AI. The only problem is the heavy bug which is the game's issue.
OnePlus 7t shouldn't have any issues running the game against difficult AIs. Maybe December update or next Android updates will solve your issues. Try turning on fnatic mode but I don't think that makes any noticeable difference, not at least in my phone.

In fact there are no issues at all when attacking. It’s defending that’s killing me compared to iOS. I posted a couple of videos in the Android performance issues thread.
Aggressive AI seems much quicker on the 7t. At times it’s impossible to react fast enough.
Bought s20ultra just to make gameplay smoother. Yes its even better than 11pro max.
But inputs still wont work propperly.
Sent detailed mail to kabam about how many ms does it take to accidentally charge heavy on 120mhz refresh rate vs 60mhz.
The answer is " we will look into it".
3 months later still nothing.
Even if I turn ON Xiaomi's MIUI feature called Game Turbo it is not as smooth as on iOS.
