Since the update, lag is TERRIBLE

Downright pathetic really. I have a few vids, but I shouldn't have to record every fight and post it when it's been a big issue for over a month now

I am not getting much support for the idea but I think we have a game that is demanding increasing amounts resources on our phones and that is causing this lag. Everyone points to server issues (perhaps because the issue is so universal?) But I think it's just too much to run properly. And as this game is demanding more ram so is every other "updated" app you install. It is the same thing that pushed pc's to massive amounts of ram and giant hard drives. Rather funny! Everyone thinks their app is so important it must relaunch in 1.1 seconds but when you get enough of them like that they all run slow...so...yeah...thinking that the envelope has been pushed to its limits.

The character buffs alone are bowing up!

Then...

Now

Yeah, cuz this is acceptable

How dare people express their frustration with issues that have been prevalent for over a month.

Its the same challenge game makers faced in the beginning of pc gaming, multiple architectures, multiple os of different versions and releases. This game pushes the envelope of what our handheld puters can do. We can't lay it entirely on them it is a real challenge to achieve uniform results with so many variables and we keep asking for "bigger" and "more." But I don't see how they can keep adding without at some point removing some things. I suggest we return to three arenas. 2s to win threes (as before) 3s (only) to win 4s, and 4s and 5s to win 5s. That would cut one arena. The addition of the uncollected...more quests...more champs, more complex buffs and debuffs...the game is just hitting the ceiling of what the tech cam handle smoothly and optimally. An argument for slowing down and replanning. Add 6 stars and watch us "slow!"

I would also suggest scaling back on the buffs. Some are sort of rediculous to begin with (and some just overused) and if it takes half a page discription to explain it maybe it is too complex of a series of commands for out lil boxes...

What is happening here is the very reason the Xbox and the ps came along, to standardize the architectures to that the platform was stable and therefore the game was stable...question is??? How will that same issue be dealt with in the phone market? We gonna get "game" phones???? Extra ram and hotter processors and big whirring fans to cool them down???

Here is the problem with solving this issue; That type of lag is not visible on every device. I’ve been playing this game for years now on multiple devices and I have never seen that type of issue before, and still have not.
Apple products are notorious for having low ram and other various issues. I can guarantee your issue (and a lot of ones like it) is device related.
There are thousands of different type of phones and tablets and only 2 different version of the game: iOS and Android. If you are on an older device or a device with a lot of **** running in the background or they system itself in general is just built differently (android phones are notorious for this) then maybe you need to switch to a better device.

Yes guys,thankgod there’s others...my lag is absolutely diabolical afte4 last update.....

Lightvayne is kabams morale officer,you always get a Radom post talking absolute garbage on how the game is running spot on...
Let’s celebrate the 3 year anniversary by making the game 3 times as worse as it’s ever been.....praise be for the free gifts while we take back twice as much by making the game unplayable...AGAIN...

You are kinda supporting my argument here with that statement
There are so many factors that can be contributing to this lag issue, yet you want kabam to fix them all. They are not your internet service provider, they are not your cell phone company, they are not your device manufacturer. They are producing a game; a High- demanding, resource-heavy game that can not possibly run smooth on every device created. It’s just not possible and as this game get more resource heavy and more demanding, its just gonna get even worse for devices that can not keep up.

You state that “everyone” is having this issue, yet I’ve run this game on a Note 3, Note 7, S7 Edge, IPhone 6s, and now currently a Note 8 and I am very happy with how this game runs on my device.
And I assure you that I am running the same version of the game everyone else is. Feel free to explain that one.

Mate, great reply and completely correct. People who like to complain won't even read it, never mind try to understand why this is the case. So don't waste your time, but thanks for trying

PS I love when "not that clever" people makes claims for everyone as you point out! Do they understand what everyone means even, ie not just them?

I do not know your experience, but I've experienced these game lags and freeze frames for as long as I can remember using my Ipad4. Started playing December 2014. I also have an Iphone6 that encounters the same issues, although not as bad some days.
