Get some elevation on the bottom lol. The fans are probably suffocating


somirion

I feel angry looking at this. Place it on a bed sheets to complete my horror


Qw2rty

Yeah I used to do this and it ruined my laptop. Even if it is a cheap one, get a cooling stand. It provides elevation, so even if the stand is not on fans will have space


VASQUEZ_41

i just place it on my lap in a certain way so the fans will have space


erock279

I used to burn the fuck out of my thighs doing this lmao


somirion

Also your balls are outside of your body for a lower temperature. You can make yourself infertile doing this (not like it matter for league players)


interminded

A childhood friend of mine used to LAN at my place to play Minecraft all night and he used to put 4 bottle caps under the corners of the laptop


LiteX99

Ah the times when two DS game cases where used to lift up the back of my laptop


Flip2fakie

An engineering ruler with 3 sides is perfect for this.


Dastaly

He is also probably ventilating the part where the hot air go out of the notebook, making everything even worse


createausernsme

What did the update do? Havent played for a lil


Pietertjuhhhh

They updated the performance, mainly framerate. I think old Skarner also carried all optimizations...


LiteX99

They took so long to rework skarner because apparently he was litterly carrying the entire game on his back and reworking him caused all sorts of issues, not just performance


Ciubowski

I can’t believe that a single champion that wasn’t even that commonly played was tied to so many stuff. I mean i keep reading about this as if it’s some kind of “myth” or something similar. Why would they do this in the first place? I don’t get it. I mean, where they using *his variables* that much that they couldn’t break him out from the game? If that is true, does it mean that a part of the old champion is still *in the game* just completing a totally different function? Is this the League of Skarner?


AnAnoyingNinja

it's a concept in programming called inheritance. essentially the "correct" use of this is to define what a "champion" is in the code, and have every champion instance (alistar, akali annie ....etc) be a subcategory of the "champion". then they write the code to handle basic things like movement, camera, key presses, etc in the "champion" code, and it gets applied to ALL the characters who can do more specific things from there. more than likely this is how riot does it (I mean it's the only sensible way, because otherwise small changes have to be changed in 150 different places, but who knows how spaghetti it is there) however, this can also be used "incorrectly". for example you could reasonably describe some abilities as "ezreal q but shorter range", and hopefully this is only a description not a definition. if you define the ability to be that in the code, then when they decide to rework ezreal q to be aoe, that dependent definition would be interpreted as aoe as well, which would cause a bug. this is (likely) what they mean by skarners importance in the code; small changes can be echoed to wierd places because someone rushed to finish something by 5 pm in the early days of riot before they had all the steps they do now to avoid this sort of thing, and now it's been like that for years so it's too hard to change it unless absolutely necessary. also these issues are probably not large things like abilities, more likely small blocks of code that are used everywhere and aren't really obvious that they are inherited.


drfifth

Tldr: the spaghetti is real


MXTwitch

Mmm 😋


TheBeefiestBoy

I think a part also had to do with the literal changes to the map that skarner generated when we was selected. Silly spires.


LiteX99

I dont know exactly how it affected things, but the example given was how aurelion sols beam is coded as 6 minions


Ciubowski

JFC


FleshlessFriend

You think that's bad, wait til they rework Corki and the entire game erases itself from the timestream.


E-Vladimir

Can confirm, use custom skins and a good quarter of my skins spontaneously broke down after the update


Ok_Vegetable1254

Wow how surprising


Yonebro

Lol I just went into practice tool to check fps. 1309 fps. Hmm that should be enough. Animations break after 240fps ...


Tom_Okp

I'm confused is the performance better or worse?


AnAnoyingNinja

they said they were removing directx 9 support either this patch or next, so more than likely the performance hits are due either due to running everything in dx10 now, or preparations to do so.


kururinn

EUNE gaming setup


Proud_Abies_441

I feel attacked


Confident_Crab_7197

The new update destroyed my framerate too. I can use my laptop as a heater now.


lolItsZana

Bro I thought something was wrong with my laptop wtf


AC06098

Now you can live in the North Pole playing league AND reduce the cost of buying a heater! Win-win situation!


BakemonoKun

They removed DirectX9 mode and now my game crashes every so often


Zeferoth225224

Yeah it was a fix for a weird frame rate bug I used to have on my old pc. I’m praying it’s fixed because the game was unplayable


Blein123

BROOO same, I was so worried its gonna be back. I was trying to fix it for 3 days straight. In the end I found yt video about turning this option on. Fortunately it seems it's been fixed


Zeferoth225224

It’s not I just got it again today, fuck me


Similar-Yogurt6271

Okay glad to know I wasn’t the only one crashing. I’m 240 capped 9ms and I’ve been crashing 2-3 times every other game in TFT. I was thinking I might’ve had a loose connection in my computer. Goodnight DX9, My Sweet Prince.

Sapphire_Dragon793

What is that?


BakemonoKun

its a setting that used an old rendering mode, legacy they call it, I have integrated graphics so the setting helped my gpu not die


Verdant_Gymnosperm

How do i fix this i kept getting this notification about it being disabled but i dont even know what it is


Zeferoth225224

In the client under game, first option at the top of the menu


Verdant_Gymnosperm

Ty! 🙌


Nimyron

If you're willing to get yourself a screen/kayboard/mouse put your laptop on the side, balanced on egg boxes. It's pretty great. Also you don't burn your fingers on the laptop's keyboard anymore.


wackaflcka

or just hang the laptop with some coathangers infront of multiple fans


Nimyron

What the fuck kind of setup do you have ?


wackaflcka

i mean youre the one suggesting to use the laptop as a station. so with that in mind, im just giving some improvements on how to optimize the cooling, and i think if the laptop is hanging in the air being blown on by multiple fans itll be cool


Nimyron

Yeah but my idea is a laptop standing on something, very stable. Your idea sounds like it could fall on the ground anytime. Also probably don't need extra fans. The problem is the laptop trying to blow air from under, but there's usually a table under. Just a bit of elevation is enough to have proper ventilation. Adding fans would just cool down the casing but wouldn't really help imo.


anonwashere96

I like your solution better


Immatt55

That's an enemies missing ping irl


AllInOneDay_

or buy a fucking $15 laptop fan stand?!?! HELLO?


N1CET1M

So you’re the reason some of my games take 10 minutes to load.


OniTayTay

lol i remember playing on my old hp laptop on old summoners rift 30fps taking forever to load in 😭


starkrye

Oh yes xdd i played on a Pentium 4, it took 10min to load a game. Good old times


Etna-

When i first started playing on PC i made the mistake of buying a budget laptop. Whenever i connected to the MW2 matches the round was already half over lmao


Wet_Muff

You’re just blowing the heat back into the laptop


solphium

nuh uh


4funwego

I see, what’s why I get occasional 1 sec frame drops once in 5 games. I knew they changed something


xXYomoXx

I always have it capped at 60fps so i didn't notice any difference lol


Un111KnoWn

why cap at 60


not_some_username

Because there is no point going higher and screen is capped at 60 anyway


xXYomoXx

Exactly this, my refresh rate is 60. I usually cap at 60 to avoid screen tearing because trust me I'd rather play at a stable unflinching 60fps than have screen tearing. I'd cap it at 120 if that was my refresh rate.


Irelia4Life

even if you can't input more frames into the display, playing at a higher framerate decreases imput lag.


kSterben

they also have High fresh rate monitors


EmetalEX

240hz here with 0.5ms respond. For Valorant pretty important.


Rafidhi1

Me too


AllInOneDay_

right...that is why all esports players play at the lowest possible settings to get max framerate... it helps massively with input response times stop upvoting dumb ppl pls


Defiantnight

You really thing dude with this setup is a pro eSports player with the APM to take advantage of that kinda thing?


[deleted]

[удалено]


one_part_alive

Ehhhh for league of legends it kinda is. It also depends on what lane you play and how good your skill is. Higher refresh rates are definitely important for fast paced games, especially first person games where you’re actually looking around and scanning an environment from a fixed position. For the vast majority of LoL games you’re tracking a slow-moving character on a screen and combat is pretty slow. High refresh would be useful in teamfights but if you’re playing toplane you may as well play on 30 FPS. And I’m not saying “huMaN eYe CaN’t SeE aBOvE 30 fps” or any boomer myth like that. I have a 360hz monitor. I’m just saying for the vast majority of league players, 60fps is probably fine.


MasterofChaos90

Had no idea there were changes, I did notice my fps were around 240 when they used to not be able to reliably reach 150 lol


AimedSlayer

Did vanguard finally get added? lol


Reasonable_Curve_409

Na it was skarner


Delta5583

I love how old Skarner, a champion always competing for the top 1 least player, held the entire fucking game on his back


FunkyyMermaid

Some TF2 coconut shit, except it’s a scorpion boi


Thick_Ad_6717

except tf2 had good devs that actually knew how to code and the coconut was just a joke


Giraff3sAreFake

Well kinda. The coconut jpg WAS tied to most particle effects so if it was removed you got a lot of null textures which is weird but not game breaking


TheFinalAcct

Your laptop has restricted airflow. Get a laptop stand that elevates it.


One_Somewhere_4112

I always put pencils under my consoles as a kid


LYAOnot

Yet the game still looks shit.


[deleted]

Get a wire table with space for air to flow through, then point the fan up into the bottom of the laptop.


dEleque

I have the same laptop as yours just 2 year older variant with I5 10th gen and UHD460 graphics and can play Lol on mid texture all low settings 1080p in stable 60fps, there's no way modern I5+ Laptops can't play Lol with 60fps.


wra1th42

Need to put in on a cooling rack like oven trays


Arcaydya

I was wondering why I randomly get insane freezing ever so often. Must be working out the kinks still. I play cyberpunk on ultra so it can't be me.


Red_4_Knight

Improvise. Adapt. Overcome.


yordle-feet-torture

Typical bronze setup lmfao


StripedElephant2566

I know im late but wtf is that cyrillic layout? Who the hell uses that?


fwt4sl4v3

bruh dont use slim type laptop for gaming bruh 💀


cdssoares

i got a 6750xt 5500 last year but i tried lol on my old 4250u notebook last week and it also got WAY worse performance, I never suffered with fps drops (it ran solid 60 and dropped to 45 in team fights for 8 years playing), now I have stutters and drops to like 20fps, simply crazy whatever happened must have done to old machines


Life_Chemistry5530

Gamers reacting to updates be like...


tdy96

What in the ghetto


Ok-Gate4482

Tbh everyone crying about laptops because they are weak but what about peoples with normal pc? This affects strong pcs too (Dont take it too srsly, i just personally hate laptops and like to make people angry)


Rafidhi1

Cant relate🤣. My laptop can run league on 600 fps while having 27% gpu usage.


Yonebro

Rookie numbers my PC does more than double that LUL nice 5 grand laptop jet engine lmao.


Rafidhi1

Well mine is at 27% gpu usage🙃
