Hi Summoners!
Our team is working to identify and address performance issues in The Contest and we need your help as we gather relevant information.
As part of this process, it is important for you to understand that lag and game performance are affected by a host of factors including: device, operating system, connection and even Champions or maps. Complicated issues such as these involve an equally complicated investigation process, due to all of these variables. Your contributions to this thread will help in that investigation. This, however, does not mean that there is one single “fix” coming that will address all concerns for all players. It is an ongoing process of improvements that the team is continually working toward as the game progresses.

we had this before in the beginning of the last update but later it was fixed it seems that this new update brought back this old bug.
Android 7
Updated to new 22.0
Absolutely no difference to previous versions. Game constantly crashes at any and every point, most commonly on the match up screen in arenas. Loads of new exciting content that is unplayable. Thanks for nothing

Game Mode: In which game mode did the error occur? Mainly in allince quest, alliance war and dungeons. Also happens when entering the crystal section.
Description of the Issue: Loading times generally takes around a minute for every game mode, but with the mentioned modes it can take several minutes. In dungeons it has been up to 5 minutes in the last months (I stopped playing dungeons a month ago due to this). In the last three months when I enter the crystal section I have to wait two or three minutes for every image and the timer to load. About freezes, it has been happening in the last weeks, when I am figthing, the games freezes for about a second.
Thanks for working on solving these issues.

Takes forever to load! Everthing is so slow, it lieterally took me almost 1 and a half hours to complete the monthly event once through. Only about 10 to 15 minuets was actual gameplay. Never took me this long before. At this rate i will never get through all the content this month.
Improve the connection to the servers and do not bother us with messages like this at the beginning of this thread!
Blu studio c5+5

Operating system 5.0
WiFi
When I launch the game from my home screen it does not load and I have to uninstall and reinstall it for it to work and when it starts back to work it takes very long to load into the crystals,events and etc and I cant even fight because when I go in the event quest and I tap on the quest to fight it sticks on the loading screen and I have to restart the game for it to work.

Description of the Issue: The game graphics begin to glitch and stop and start. Game does not respond to input and then freezes. Sometimes I have to close the game, other times it will just stop and close on it's own. I notice it's worst in the morning and mid evening, middle of the day or really late at night it's bad but not as bad. Does not matter the character being used at the time or what I am doing. Sometimes it seems like the servers are not able to handle the traffic as I'm sure morning and mid evening are peak times.

Description of the Issue: My 4* doctor voodoo has a glitch that only applies to I'm where he will become completely unresponsive in the middle of a fight until he receives a hit. This is so bad that sometimes the enemy doesn't attack for about 6 seconds but I still can't dash back or attack. This has been going on for 6 months now and it's very hard to get footage because it needs to show my hands and it happens randomly
Device Model: Vernee X1
Device OS: Android 7.1
Wifi and cellular (4G)
Game Version: 22.0
Game Mode: AQ, AW, EQ
Description of Issue: So since i updated the game the lag has been turned to a level above 10 I'm having unresponsive controls like my specials not activating when I tap it and my character doesn't dash back when i try to do so... Secondly frame rate drop has been horrible during fights when I'm fighting i get parried mid combo and when I'm baiting heavy i don't even see the charge of the heavy i just see my champ getting pummelled after, also I have noticed that steadily (every fight) at the activation of specials both mine and the enemy the game lags immensely before picking up so if I'm just close enough that the only way to avoid it is a true dex I'm definitely getting hit cos thr dex fails to register because the swipe back command doesn't work in line with thr game as a result of lag.
This becomes a big issue in AQ and AW because now its not just hurting me its hurting people relying on my competence as well my last two wars have been terrible because of this issue. And its starting to hurt my confidence in taking fights.

Device Operating System: Android Nougat 7.1.1
Cellular or WiFi: happens on both
Game Version Installed: 22.0.0
Game Mode:happens in every mode.
Description of the Issue: Game just closes out. Doesnt matter what I'm doing. Not champ specific nor mode specific. I could just be looking at it and it will close out. could be just moving from node to node..could be going to roster, ranking champs, opening crystals, browsing store, doesnt matter...just randomly closes out. Happens in middle of fights too, which is the most frustrating. The lag is incredivble also. Loading times are ridiculous, and fights sometimes seem to start before my character is even in my control.
Phone: Oneplus 6 - Snapdragon 845 + 8 GB RAM
Android version: 9 - 9.0.4
MCOC version: 22.0
On WiFi and 4G
Lots of input lag in all game modes. Most noticeable champions are Quake and X23. Quake constantly requires double tap to activate heavies and X23 randomly fails to dash back or randomly throws heavies. Overall lag often causes 5-hit + special to fail.
I'm experiencing a lot of lag and inability to use specials with corvus. Lots of unresponsiveness as well while playing in war and while questing with all champs.
