LAG, constant performance issues

Dear Kabam, i don't really understand the following situation. As there are a lots of forums threads about lag and performance issues on the here for a long time now, and you guy acknowledged you are aware of it, still we are not really seeing any resolution so far, rather making the things worse.
On the other hand what we are seeing is more and more particles, smoke, special effects, more flames....etc more and more stuff which consumes more resources and makes the game even more slow and lag more.
I just fought Dormammu in AQ where the fps wasn't even reached the 10-15 fps, as it froze.... and the next thing i saw if Dormammu hitting me 5 times in a sec and i was dead... even though i was holding block... it was unplayable and i had no chance to do anything in that fight.
My point is, if you guys know that there are performance issues in the game, why are you adding more and more of these special effects into the game to create more and more problems??
I understand that its a premium game and it has to look awesome but it should not compromise the speed and the overall gameplay where the proper reaction time is such a key factor.
Logically i would rather tone down the graphics a bit to get some time to solve the performance and lag issues then slowly build it up to see what the system can handle without sacrificing the proper speed.
(ps.: i am playing on an iPhone 6 - latest OS - with a freshly changed battery - so its not the device which is causing the problem)

It could be classed as an old device, but i know what should now about the slowing of devices. Thats why i highlighted that it has a new battery, so the OS should not slowing the device down, as the battery overall state isnt making it necessary as its brand new. (I am a bit more tech-minded and working in the same industry.)
I do understand all what you are saying and i am not even argue most of them, my issue is just why are you making a situation worse and worse instead of putting at least an alternate solution into place?
Lag is an issue across many mobile platforms.
I dont want to mix the two things here. I get what you are saying and yes you have all the rights to tell your opinion, i just think we are not exactly talking about the same thing anymore. The age of the device is one thing, it can be old but thats not necessarily the problem
This slowing down of old devices comes from the fact that lot of iphones - 6, 6s, rare case 7 too - were reacting badly when their battery got old and got many cycles. They are started to randomly turn off etc. So what they did is in the new software update they are tuning down the performance if the OS sees the battery is old and used. So the battery wont be used as much as it wont let the system to gets to its limits - so if your battery is old then the OS will lower the performance of the device in order to keep it alive, have a bit more stand by time. This I think is a separate factor.
My point is rather why the game is getting more and more resource heavy instead of optimized first?
Also this lag and slowness issue is not constant for me, there are periods where its fine and enjoyable, but then comes a period where the fps level not even reaching the bare minimum.
my apologizes, i ment to say, they - as Kabam - not you. Sorry.
Dude quit the old device ****. It as nothing to do with the way the game mechanics work. Im using and Iphone 5s without the new os and it performs really well. If you're pressing block and its not registering where does it say its cuz of your devices. I also have a iphone X and it does the same thing. Wifi or data. Btw there not slowing down the devices. They're conserving energy for your battery to work as intented longer.
You believe what you wanna believe....carry on
Just like you i rather sacrifice some of the quality of the graphics just to make sure the important fights, like the boss fights are seamless
I'm on IOS devices also and the lagging and freeze frame issues I have now are same issues that have been in the game for about 2 years. Even when my devices were new, I encountered the same issues I deal with today.
The thread is here to contribute if you’ve any issues with the gameplay rather having device discussions.
Even if this was a particular device, it’s kabams responsibility to make sure their game is compatible with all devices.
I still enjoy the game, so I hope it gets fixed, but there seems to be no effort in that area. It’s been close to three months now for me.
