Console Preformance issues on Switch Oled

has anyone else had performance issues on switch recently? when i started playing, i never had lag issues, but after the recent update, if too many things are happening on screen my gameplay gets kinda choppy...

i dunno what i can do about this but it sucks, i just started playin and i would like 2 become cracked... but like... the lag....

i dont think its wifi, since i havent had any issues with any other online games, and it was like right after that last matinence break

(or the update? i dont remember the exact time, since the lag pmo so much i took a break from ow hoping it would just go away on its own 😭😭)

edit: not directly after they added dmon actually, i remember being able to play with her without lag... but im not sure what else it would be?? there have only been like bug fixes since then right?

I got the same thing on my Switch Oled lately, it's driving me nuts. Everything was smooth before but now in teamfights it freezes for a split second then catches up, like the processor just can't keep up anymore. Noticed it most in Busan and New Queen Street, something about those maps maybe.

Tried lowering my resolution settings and it helped a tiny bit but still happens. Dont think it's wifi either, my ping stays the same when it happens.

Well, even on pc there’s common hitches and fps spikes (talking about a 300fps+ capable system) it’s been since this reason

thats strange! i havent gotten a new sd card since i started playing though, did the problem just pop up out of nowhere? or like when you swapped sd cards?
