so a few months ago my FPS in League of Legends, Overwatch, and especially World of Warcraft dropped drastically. i used to be able to play all these on ultra settings idk what happened.

My Rig Specs
Radeon Software Version - 17.1.1
Radeon Software Edition - Crimson ReLive
Graphics Chipset - AMD Radeon R9 200 Series
Memory Size - 3072 MB
Memory Type - GDDR5
Core Clock - 933 MHz
Windows Version - Windows 10 (64 bit)
System Memory - 20 GB
CPU Type - AMD FX(tm)-6350 Six-Core Processor

I really should not have issues
 
Solution
Backup your WTF and Cache folders, in WoW, to another location, and let it create a new one. Also would check your temps, to make sure you are not overheating.

Are your drivers recently updated?
Also for WoW load WoW from the World of Warcraft Program files folder rather than the BNET client as it is responsible for frame rate drops.
These games have become very CPU intensive .

yes i update drivers every time a new one is released. that MAY solve my issues with WoW but doesn't really help with the rest of my games (btw these 3 are just my MOST played games not all my played games) i will try that next time i get on wow but if it does what it usually does it will just trigger the battle.net app to open.

Update: I tried the wow thing and it says all realms are incompatible but then with the app it opened just fine :\

Uh you opened the basic WoW.exe program right? Do you have a firewall blocking it or something, like Avast or another anti-virus o_O I never had that issue.

Have you just tried disabling your antiviruses/removing them and see if it fixes it?
I had a friend on a different game have issues like this and removing Avast fixed it.
