If you are currently dropping frames during a 20-hit combo on a bridge, or if your game stutters when an enemy throws a poison potion, switching to CM-Pack could instantly raise your ELO by 200 points. Just remember to verify your download, disable the questionable "autoclicker" tab, and enjoy the smoothest 1.8 PvP experience available.
