I know there was a post about performance, but this is getting out of hand enough that I feel maybe another one is required

I've played Dota since 2011, I played on volcanic temperature laptops in college, integrated graphics cards, etc. Never have I had dota-performance be as bad as it currently is.

I don't really know what to do, my FPS will range from 180 to 60 within a game, for no real reason. sometimes restarting the game fixes it randomly, but I just played a few PL games and now it's constant. Ultra graphics, or lowest, doesn't matter.

I can spam the enter button for chat, the game stutters every time.

I can literally spam my control groups back and forth and tank my FPS to 20.

When people are chatting in lobbies, the game starts freezing and bugging out like crazy. Stuttering like crazy.

Is there anything we can do in the near term to help better this situation? I genuinely would rather play on an old patch on 144 FPS than play this patch like this.
