Please stop adding more poorly optimized map mods

I can enjoy the game from a1 normal to a3 merciless with 60 fps. But then I reach the map stage where certain mods bring my PC to its knees.

Chilled ground: I avoid this one like the plague. It makes my cycloner completely unplayable because the second I cyclone on chilled ground I desync and never resync until I'm off it. There is obviously a bug somewhere. Maybe cycloning on chilled ground has different speed on the client compared to the server?

Burning ground: drops my FPS to 30-40.

Shocking ground: drops my FPS to 30-40.

and the newly added...

Desecrated ground: drops my fps to 30-40. Makes my gfx card overheat (yes it is the only effect in the game that does that). Only some of the sounds can be heard.

Please test those effects before you add them to the game. It makes mapping a lot less fun when your fps drops to half. My GFX card is the radeon 6870

Did you even read my post?
Lets hope that game developers will optimize the game/effects.

Suggestion to stop using this or that skill is just wrong. What kind of game it is if you have to avoid using half of its content? Maybe its then better not to turn on the game at all?

Ignore him
+1

All ground effects destroy performance.
GGG banning all political discussion shortly after getting acquired by China is a weird coincidence.

Why not stop playing the game altogether?
Are you serious with your suggestion?

I haven't had issues with ground effects since before they were optimized. Fine for me now.

Before they were atrocious though.
+1...ground effects cut my fps so hard it is just ridiculous.(new gs is stupid laggy when xandro pop's up i get 1fps for like 2seconds then im laging like shit with around 5-16fps TOPS. i usually play game 55fps(capped) i get 200~fps without vsync, so wtf makes GS,ground-effects so damn resource hungry...)
hit me up @sarrow lets have fun :D
+1 also!
I am not really experiencing problems with Shocking ground or the newly added but hell if there is burning ground my GTX 780 is like "GAH I CAN'T HANDLE THIS" it get's to 30 - 40 fps, combine that with lag build in group and you are having a really bad time.
They must bee poorly optimized because GTX 780 should not have a problem at all yet it somehow have problems.
