Is it a good idea to run the game on 1280x720 instead of 1920x1080?

I am using a laptop right now because I am too broke to buy a complete PC setup, plus I need a laptop to carry around for schoolwork related things. On 1920x1080 I get around 70-80 FPS normally, but when there is a lot going on i.e. ults, abilities, my FPS drops to around 50-60. I tried using 4:3 (1024x768) but I can't see the full shop basically my game is zoomed in and some stuff like the dailies and Premier overlap which is weird to me. Thus I tried using 1280x720. I get around 80-90 FPS but everything is blurrier and my crosshair looks 1.5x as big now. Is there any other disadvantage to this or is it a good idea for me to stick to 1280x720? Or should I go to 4:3 even though player models are not stretched or anything?

Btw does using 4:3 increase FPS compared to 16:9? Assuming 1024x768 vs 1280x720 which is quite similar in pixels but different aspect ratio Since 4:3 zooms in your game so some pixels are removed

It depends on your monitor if your monitor had good hertz I think it will run nicely with 1920x1080

its a laptop, screen refresh rate is 60hz I decided to deal with the screen tearing as I said 1920x1080 is 70-80 FPS on absolute lowest graphical settings in game unless I go to the config file and change around some values
