Heavy FPS stutters

My game has been running fine at around 130-160 FPS until today's patch. The game starts off relatively okay at 100ish FPS and then steadily drops throughout the match until I'm sitting at around 30 FPS in the fountain, and dropping down to less than 15 FPS in teamfights. I play on the second fastest of the preconfigured settings. PC specs are:
I5-8400

Performance is fine for a while, but anywhere from maybe 10-20~ minutes into a match the game starts to drop frames, and eventually will entirely start chugging/stuttering to under 30~ FPS
The first time this happened, I checked RAM usage and it was around 17,000mb, when normally it is around 6,300.
Was able to partially fix this by dropping all settings to basic, but after that it doesn't seem to really recover entirely.
Moving back to original settings sometimes is fine it seems after going to the lowest.
Going into a new match seems to be fine until it happens again.
Unclear how to reproduce at this time.
Settings:
FPS typically is 70-100~ on all max settings
AA, Post-Bloom, and Contact Shadows
Vulcan
100% Render

Reporting in with these specs:
Ryzen 7 7800X3D
32 GB DDR5 6000mhz
3080 FTW3 Ultra
With settings:
1080p Native, No AA, High Textures, Area Lights, Displacement Mapping and Contact Shadows. Everything else is Off.
I've capped my FPS at 140 and I'm getting real intensive dips (120~, with noticeable hiccups in the frame timing), especially in large team fights.
Also started getting this when interacting with transparencies after a few games.

Especially later I noticed the FPS taking a hit. Beginning is fine, but what easily starts out at about 150fps turns to 50fps and lower with drops either on direct x11 or vulkan - however I feel vulkan has a memory leak. Playing on minimal settings - only AA and game render @ 99%+

same here, mine drops to around 20fps sometimes in lanes after recent update
1080p 120hz (native resolution)
direct3d 11 (-dx 11)
lowest settings (anti-aliasing, fidelity fx enabled and set to lowest)
Windows 11 Home (version: 23H2)
ryzen 5 5600h
rtx 3050 (4gb vram)
16 gb ddr4 (dual channel) ram
its a laptop (Dell G15 5515), if that matters

Also to note: this happens regardless of the game server's CPU load. It gets worse as the load goes higher (up to the 800 percent range). However, these stutters and heavy FPS drops still happen on lower server usage.

My game runs well on high settings, about 170-300+ fps at maximum, I don’t even use it because the game is already becoming uncomfortable (I just set Screen Space AO to maximum), the fps drop was up to 50 fps...

Yea, it's much worse for me now. Keep falling under 30 when I'm close to towers or anything exciting happens on screen.

A friend of mine just installed the game. He has a pretty bad pc but to my surprise the training range worked pretty well. He had a solid 60 FPS. But when we switched to online matchmaking he had constant frame drops. He is already on the lowest settings. The only thing that fixed it a bit was fidelity FX superesulution being turned on. He is on DirectX right now. Does anybody have any ideo how i could help him enjoy the game? Thanks!

same, first minute in the game completely unplayeble, freezes and shatters make me so mad.
Sometimes after 1st minute there are frezzes for 5-10 seconds and it so annnoying
Intel i3-9100f
GTX 1650
8gb RAM DDR4
all setings are low and fps about 70-90

For me, game stutters on anything other than lowest settings + 100% resolution scale.
In general, fps is good on any setting, but I have heavy stutters sometimes, for seemingly unknown reasons. Only lowest settings have no stutters.

FPS is fine on both high and low settings. However, my ping spikes up from a steady 16ms to 56ms-63ms, and that only ramps up further as the match goes on. My character will be walking in one direction for a second and then start to either lock into place or rubberband back to where I was standing. It's very annoying in moments like the clip I attached below because I could do nothing about it. Definitely isn't an issue with internet as other multiplayer games are perfectly fine.

Same issue.
Ryzen 5700X3D
32GB Ram
GTX 980 (Which should be more than enough for this game)
FPS (Lowest Settings: 45-60)
DirectX11: Works Better (DX12 should handle calls better though?)
Vulkan: Randomly drops and keeps being at 20fps (Which means this game becomes unplayable for Linux, however I use Windows for DirectX currently)
Note: Vulkan always has performance issues regardless of settings.
The game or engine still needs better optimization, I use vsync-off which helps, and thankfully because of a very high hz monitor it doesnt show tearing, but on lowest the game looks bad, on max settings it looks better than bad but still bad and has much worse performance (around 40fps average rather than 90 in the training sandbox which is less demading!)
Overall the game does not look so good to be justified for the performance even if the graphics card is a bit older as of 2024, the card is still good, it plays games like black desert online (in their remastered) pretty well and at constant 60, the game should at least run 144 at lowest (but 100% render... obviously), features such as nvidia reflex utilize high fps in higher machines, so having only modern (rtx specifically) hardware run the game marginably better does create an accessibility wall for many.
Server CPU: 70 peak (Match 5752216)
In comparison, both Dota 2 and CS2 play butter-smooth and they look good, understandably so this game doesnt perform that well because it is in alpha so the earlier those problems are tackled and figured out the better for everyone, and it should of course be resolved in time, its normal to not notice whilst in a more close alpha.
In comparison Smite 2 in UE5 performed horribly bad at the first alpha weekend, the second was a bit better but still bad, the third and forth were a bit better and then acceptable respectively.
The game is really fun for what it is and has potential, so those small issues shouldnt be allowed to cause any more trouble.
I also suggest distance-based renders, because it is obvious assets are rendered, when looking away from the edge of the map it increases fps while when looking towards the opposing base from ours it decreases fps massively, meaning there is a lot of render density of things overwhelming the GPU unecessarily, albeit I understand some of the reason behind that and that is because we have fast travel times and ziplines, but still, some solutions should be found for even older yet top tier hardware. RX580 for example, or GTX780 and above, there is not low-enough settings for those and the higher ones do not look that much better to justify performance costs.
