These are wicked
" It does get a little hot for my lap while gaming"
If you are actually gaming with this on your lap (as I do, often) I'd highly recommend you pick up a lap desk. This particular one is great as it stops all heat from penetrating beneath, has silicon strips on it to keep your laptop in place, has a ventilation channel in the center to allow some airflow to the laptop and, most important, has a slide out mouse pad that makes working or even playing FPS games easy to do on your lap (without cooking your nads).

I also use these stand pads in conjunction with the above to raise the rear of the laptop and let it get and exhaust a ton of air as it needs:

All the best.
Get a lap desk and cooling pads. I near always game on my lap and always do so with the following lap desk and stand-offs. You can't feel any heat on your legs using one of these, even with the most demanding of games. The laptop also gets plenty of air for intake and exhaust. Best part, a good mouse is easy to use on your lap thanks to the extendable mouse tray.

Thanks... I never feel any heat at all from my gaming laptops when using them on my lap as I use an AboveTEK Portable Lap Desk (in the above picture as well). Not only does it allow airflow under the Legion to keep it cool, it is thick enough to completely protect my own legs and more important round areas from thermal radiation. Plus, with its expandable mouse pad its a joy to use for gaming. Highly recommend one:

I know this is an older thread now but I'll add that you can buy a lapdesk and it'll help a lot with ventilation. See: https://www.amazon.com/AboveTEK-Portable-Retractable-Non-Slip-Notebook/dp/B074473Z6T/
From experience - definitely too hot to sit on a lap (at least without a lapdesk like this one: https://www.amazon.com/AboveTEK-Portable-Retractable-Non-Slip-Notebook/dp/B074473Z6T/ )
Take a look at this. Would work just fine in bed.
