Is there any way to disable the pet? My laptop was running arena just fine. As soon as I came across someone with a pet, the game started getting choppy. There isn't anything in the options to disable it. I've tried disabling emotes and that doesn't help? Anyone else having this issue?
In the Profile tab, there's a new button "Pet Select" in the lower right corner, next to the "Change Avatar" button.
You can turn it on and off there.
