If you are a fan of the MOBA genre and want to take the gaming experience everywhere with you, League of Legends: Wild Rift is probably one of the best options available.
League of Legends: Wild Rift seeks to offer a competitive experience very similar to that of the original PC game. However, there are some changes to adapt the controls to touch screens.
Wild Rift is constantly supported by the developers. After all, a competitive game needs characters to be balanced and bugs or exploits to be fixed as soon as possible.
Recently, League of Legends: Wild Rift received an update that should be routine. However, instead of just offering bug fixes, it brought notable performance issues (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13).
More specifically, the latest League of Legends: Wild Rift patch causes noticeable FPS drops during matches, and general interface lag .

Performance drops are reportedly so severe that the game hovers between 10 and 15 FPS at times.

Some players also experience high ping issues
For some players, the update even brought an issue where the ping goes up uncontrollably during matches. This notably affects the gameplay due to the delay it causes in the executed actions.
The possible cause of the problem, official acknowledgment
Some players report that the update causes the game to consume excessive hardware resources. This results in the chipset applying thermal throttling to prevent high temperatures, thus decreasing performance.
Fortunately, the Riot Games team is already aware of the issue and is investigating it. However, there are no details of an ETA for a fix yet.
