FIX THE GAME! It’s Unplayable!

I’ve made 3 posts about this now… The game is literally freezing for 10 seconds every minute of every fight now. Yes, in BG’s whilst the timer still ticks away behind the frozen screen. The game also STILL lags like crazy alongside the freezing, and whilst it’s lagging… the game doesn’t register my actions, and so I get hit with combos and specials. Do Kabam just not care about any huge issues with the game. Kabam seemingly doesn’t focus on or care to fix any huge, game breaking issues. They’re just focusing on all the elements of the game that makes money. There’s been no mention of looking into this problem even though it’s been brought up many times by members of the community. It’s literally ruining the game… but all the huge offers are out… so Bugs in the game are sidelined because summoners spending money on a broken game is more important. This has been going on since the Beta Ray Bill and Enchantress month update! FIX. THE. GAME.

Memory drain of +2GB within 5 minutes of startup on:
Samsung Galaxy S24
Samsung Galaxy S21
Samsung Galaxy 9
Samsung Galaxy 8
Noticeable lag on 9 after 10 min during autofights
Severe lag on 8 almost immediately, during menu operations
Unremarkable impact on S21/S24
Pass on to devs pls @Kabam Pinwheel
But agreed, last couple updates the freezing and lag has been very noticeable.
Would be nice and i think appropriate if the team gave out the “thanks for playing Mcoc” with a few revives and a few health potions each month until the issue is resolved.
Playing arenas, and it’s crashed 3x. This last time, it looks like I played my champs, but I hadn’t. Still have that 2x, so it doesn’t count as a loss, but no points either. I’d already uninstalled and reinstalled, didn’t help. The last support ticket I submitted was never answered either, so why bother? This is really frustrating.
Edit: iPad 10, but it happened on my older iPhone too.
Since Beta Ray Bill and Enchantress this has been happening and this new month it's even worse.
Please fix the game!
I'm 100% not saying this to crow over people, but just so people understand that this isn't a universal problem: Personally, I've always played on budget smartphones; and although my loading times aren't the fastest, I've never had any significant problems with lag. I genuinely can't remember the last time my game crashed.
And that's always been true against opponents like Darkhawk and Dust, at times when they've clearly caused problems for other players.
I'm sorry for those of you that are finding it tricky right now; but it's an issue affecting some players on some devices; which is going to be a lot trickier to understand and fix than some universal problem like Galan only placing 7 Incinerates instead of nine on his SP2.
That's something they should be able to fix much easier...
thats not how it works.
stuff does not just take up ram by sitting there in a menu.
lag when fighting you are talking about either, latency issues communication back and forward with the server.
and/or
issues loading the data required for fights into ram and/or video ram
could be poor optimization
could be memory leaks
could be a lot of different things, but a random quest option on a menu screen would not be one of those things.
It's not a problem with the game.
It's a problem with the game interacting with a proportion of devices, out of a vast population of smartphones/tablets potentially running hundreds of different versions of other programs; in different combinations.
It could be interference from one or several background programs - who knows?
Problems actually inside the game (like a bugged champion) are vastly easier to look into than problems like "There's just so much lag/crashing/whatever".
Because the game team can't actually look at your phone to see what else is running, and what might be causing the problem.
(Apologies for the tongue-in-cheek reference to Galan, which should clearly have been fixed months ago...)
I am in the boat of not experiencing them the same as other players. I get stutters here and there, but nothing that makes the game "unplayable". Does that mean Kabam has nothing to fix? Absolutely not. If any reasonable amount of summoners are experiencing an issue, it needs to be fixed. In this case, there are things that undeniably need to be fixed. But to the previous point, it is not a global issue, therefore a global fix is not the solve. The issues fluctuate from player to player, making the cause harder to pin down than if it were just a coding issue that affected everyone.
Nobody is gaslighting anyone, but there has to also be reasonable expectations for how they fix something that clearly fluctuates based on individual experience.
So excuse me if I don’t see the point in entering a post just to say “hey, I don’t have that problem”. Would you enter a cancer illness post just to say “hey, stop the whining, not everyone has that”? Because it’s exactly what it looks like.
Don’t have the problem? Great for you, now move on.
On the latest powerful phones, there is almost no worries.
On the other hand on the Apple system, the 5th blow goes back, instead of continuing to type, it decreases and often causes the combo or the advantage, because the opponent retaliates directly. I only noticed this on Apple.
What device? What game mode?
How’s your Internet connection?
What problem did they acknowledge?
That’s a pandering message if I’ve ever seen one.
You’re not actually saying anything about what issue you’re having.
How is anyone supposed to look at or try to fix it?
Just read your mind?
It’s not about posts on a forum.
Actual information.
Galaxy 8 and 9? I wouldn’t expect them to perform well.
