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.

Massive lag whenever null mode is up, taking hits, or attacking. I also have lag issues with human torch, whenever attacking, blocking, or firing specials. There is lag whenever I hit namors block for a second. And there is constant lag when fighting Mysterio throughout the entire fight regardless of whatever actions I do. Please fix these issues.

Description of the Issue: This has been an on going issue for months. my champs will block instead of dash back, or not block when I try to block. Also specials will sometimes not trigger. For example I'll do a five combo, go to fire off a special and nothing happens. Both of these issues will just cause my champs to stand there and just eat a combo. As I said this is not new and seems to persist no matter how many updates come out.

As of recently I have lost energy and spent items because I thought maybe it's my device causing problems but as I speak with teamates and others in the game I know it's not just me. I can't enjoy the game when I can't fight because my champs are not dodging back but lunging forward or instead of blocks they attack causing me to get knocked out! Please fix this! Thank you
Device: Samsung Galaxy A3 (2017)
System Version: Android 8.0
Happens on both cellular and Wi-Fi
Game Version: 24.1.1
Game Mode: All modes
Here are the following problems i started experiencing after the drop of 24.1.1
1.When i opened up my game today i couldn't access the unit store , the alliance tab or any summoner profile including my own - the game would just freeze up and i had to force close it and open it again.
2. Loading screens became exceptionally long sometimes lasting for about 4-5 minutes other times it would just remain at the loading screen indefinitely until i force close the game.
3. As of posting this comment i can no longer go past the initial loading screen and i cannot get into the game at all.
I have tried to uninstall and install the game a new, restarting my device , clearing the game cache , clearing google play cache , re-did my setting for apps that can appear over other apps and none of those work so far. I'd appreciate if you could look into this.
A few days ago I updated the game to V24.0 and the game was still really good. A few days later I saw that there´s a new update and it was the biggest mistake I could have made!!! Now my game crashes after 1 fight, where I have to restart it every time I'm fighting a new opponent. It's really annoying since the game takes some time to load and is making me lose some interest in the last 2 or 3 days.
I want to know if this happened to anyone else and if this is a problem that KABAM can fix with another update (V24.1.2)?
Device- Samsung Note 9
System Version- 9
Happens on both, but more on wifi
Game version- 21.1.1

2. Loading screens became exceptionally long sometimes lasting for about 4-5 minutes other times it would just remain at the loading screen indefinitely until i force close the game.
3. It's an intermittent problem that has been getting worse. This sucks because I'm missing out on aq, aw, arena, event quests, and solo/ alliance rewards.

I have been playing mcoc for a long time and I've gotta tell you I'm on the verge of quitting the game because of how frustrating it is to dash or block on an Android device.I don't want to be forced to play on an IPhone and I don't want to quit the game so kabam please give me a little bit of hope here.. I know that the game is old but thinking that for this much time this wasn't addressed properly makes me a bit stressed about the customer care.i could do variant without any items and now I can barely get through the 3rd fight due to unresponsiveness parry or dashes. I've gathered some information about Android vs iPhone and all I heard was never play mcoc on android.People should not be forced to play on iPhone or iPad but enjoy the game instead of being frustrated.

Description of the Issue: There is a certain lag when hitting mister sinisters block, using icemans special 2, using omega red sp3, getting hit from mister sinister sp3. Lag seems to occur when high graohics content is loaded. I did not have this issue previously and have been facing it for about 2 weeks. Please look into this issue.

Game mode: Dungeon Invites
Description: Every time I get a dungeon invite, I open it and the game completely freezes. I have to exit the game and re-start. It does not even display who sent the invite. I have not received a successful dungeon invite in several rounds of the dungeons now. In addition, there is still notable lag when opening crystals, where the crystal will show the star value, or the amount of a given item (like catalyst fragments, for instance), but not the picture of what the item is. So I may see a PHC dropped a 2 star, but it takes several seconds for the image of which champ to show. Or a daily crystal drops 3000 fragments of some catalyst, but it takes a few moments before I see that they are T4 basic catalyst fragments.

Game Mode: Alliance Quest
Description of the Issue: I was playing Captain Marvel (Movie) in alliance quest against a Cosmic Symbioid. I was doing a normal 5-hit combo and immediately followed up by a Special 1. The Symbioid blocked right before I fired off my Special 1, even though there was no possible gap. He then fired of a Special 2 which cost me 80% of Captain Marvel's health.
There is another lag issue on the lower end phones concerning some champions in the Contest (especially from the newer ones), regardless of the game mode:
- Darkhawk's block, Specials
- Dormammu's Special 2
- Ghost Rider's Special 2 (when getting hit by it)
- Gladiator Hulk's Special 1
- Havok's Special 1
- Heimdall's Special 2
- Hulk's Special 1
- King Groot's Special 2
- Mister Sinister's Block, Specials, animations altogether
- Mysterio's block, Specials, animations altogether
- Nick Fury's block, Special 1
- Omega Red's Special 2, Special 3
- Phoenix's Special 2 (when you block it), Special 3
- Quake's Special 1 (sometimes)
- Red Hulk's Special 2
- Red Skull's block, Specials
- Sabretooth's Special 2
- Warlock's Special 2 (sometimes)
- Yondu's Special 2

Ie

Hop to Line
Switch back to game and then go check AQ
During loading of an AQ fight it will get stuck on loading screen

happens in any order AQ>AW, AW>arena, Arena>story etc etc
all combinations produce crashes in loading screens.
Device name and model: Samsung Galaxy s8+
Device OS: android 9.0
Cellular or wifi: both
Game version: 24.1.1
Game mode: dungeons/all
Game freezes whenever I go to check dungeon invites. I can send them fine, or if I tap on the little window, I can accept them, but if it goes to mail (like I'm in a fight or in arena when it gets sent) all I get is the little number in the bottom left. When I tap that, it opens the menu tab for dungeon invites, but nothing shows and the game freezes. The only way I can go back to playing the game is to force close the app and reload. When it reloads the little number is still in the corner, but my game will freeze if I tap on it.
Makes it tough to run dungeons with anyone, since I can't accept the invites.
Device name and model: Razer Phone 2

Game version: 24.1.5
Game mode: dungeons/all
Input lag is causing random heavy attacks when not requested. This started when version 24.1.5 was pushed to my device on August 22nd. This occurs in all game types, some heros have been worse (Medusa, Gladiator Hulk) at producing unwanted heavies, but all are doing it. the problem is so bad I failed on a Tier 4 Basic run that I normally finish with no lost heros. the unwanted heavy gets blocked then get countered or just straight countered over and over.

Game version: 24.1.6
Game mode: all
it just gets worse and worse with every update,
5hit combos being intercepted with medium or specials
hitting on block after 3 hits makes opponents use dexterity and counter combo you
yesterday in aw a teammate brought down an incoming node for my opponent(double checked by restarting game),i read the nodes and its not there..but when i entered the match.guess what..it was there
buttons are irresponsive.i dash back but my champ dashes forward (no it was not in the node with reverse controls LOL) i press my screen to parry and my champ dashes forward and hits.i press for heavy but its not launching..
last medium in a 5 hit combo doesnt always apply
and now on top of that with 24.1.6 update opponents launch a special attack and immediately close the gap after by intercepting
so tired of these unit-grabbing bugs
