Hey everyone,
I’ve been playing Rated Battlegrounds (RBG) for years now, consistently competing at a high MMR and reaching top spots as a Holy Paladin (HPala) for several seasons. I’ve also been pretty high on the ladder as a Mistweaver Monk (MW). However, I’ve noticed a strange and consistent issue whenever I face certain “booster” teams that I can’t quite explain.
Here’s the deal: whenever I go up against these boosting teams, my FPS drops significantly, to the point where I experience screen tearing and stuttering. It’s not just a minor inconvenience—this is serious lag and frame loss, making the game nearly unplayable. My latency spikes up as well, which makes communication and reaction times way harder. But here’s the kicker: this only happens against these specific teams. I know they’re highly skilled and better coordinated than most groups I face, but the performance drop is unlike anything I experience elsewhere.
Normally, I run at a steady FPS, and my latency is stable in most other matches. I’ve tried troubleshooting everything from my hardware to my internet connection, lowering settings, and disabling addons to see if they were the culprit. Yet, the moment I’m up against one of these booster teams, the lag spikes return.
Has anyone else experienced something like this? Could there be something these teams are doing that affects performance, or is this an unfortunate coincidence? Any advice or similar experiences would be appreciated!
