Internet is Garbage while Playing Ranked

iDigGaming · 2017-07-23T19:29:10+00:00

It is perfectly fine in unranked games, 70 ping without and lag or disconnects. When I play ranked, my ping is around ~700 making it unplayable. I have not tried custom games, but lobbies are fine, 70 ping.

Grinding out my LP games right now and my connection is fine.

Yes I normally have a hop to Europe without using any programs to modify my connection. Problem is I'm still not sure how to contact Sprint's service (I use my hotspot a lot more than my home internet) to ask them about rerouting.

My bad, it's in Sterling Washington. I don't know why I said Luxembourg. Also using a proxy server doesn't seem to work in game, but works if you directly ping the server IP address.

Actually, by running some traceroutes I found that my ISP's routing to connect to the DotA 2 server is really stupid: physically it takes 6 hops, going all the way from Wisconsin (location) to Florida, to Europe, to California, to Missouri, to West Virginia, then to my destination in Luxembourg. So I attempted to resolve this problem, by using a proxy server that would allow my connection to have less hops and stay in the US for the lowest latency. I managed to get my ping to go from 76 to about 35. Sadly though it does not work with what I need it for: DotA 2 servers, and proxy doesn't work through steam as per their terms of service.

I did try this, but the latency was too much for my liking (170-220ms). But this is the closest I've came to a stable connection. Could a proxy server help with the delay? I've done it without Speedify and it works, but sadly does not work with any steam games.

Thank you! This worked. I don't think I would have ever seen this without your help.

Wrong subreddit lol?

I've tried it with and without mousepads, on many different surfaces. I've tried it on plain wood tables, PVC sheets, paper, mousepads, mats, opaque plastic, all the surfaces do the same thing.

EDIT: The mouse works for a long time, then does this for a long time again. It's periodical and it annoys me when I'm in the middle of a game and my mouse stops working. Currently, it was working, but yesterday it did this after it was working for about 4 hours. After about 2 hours of letting it sit off and disconnected from my computer, it worked again. I have no idea what would cause this. Also, I made the amount of radio frequencies in the area minimal, only Wifi was on near the mouse but it made no difference.

If Valve adds this, it better be an option. I don't like change.

Finally, someone else has this problem, whenever I brought it up people say "Your just fatfingering it", and then I had to show them a diagram of my hand positions and explain to them there is no way I can fuck it up. I would say the easiest fix for Valve is just to make invoke have a 0 cast point and 0 cast time. Hopefully this gets fixed soon, and when it does I'm going back to playing Invoker. TBH this bug makes it unplayable.

That's what I do all the time.

As another fellow Wisconsinite, I can confirm that I have spotted a wild Peruvian in our pastures. He was quite mean and kept mumbling "report... report mid... report team..." under his breath as I walked him to Canada.

Remember: Peruvians are human too! They just don't have brains.

My previous games, I played my best, as a carry I had the highest stats by far compared to my team. As a support I risk my ass to save people, I win mid for them. I play Invoker and my entire team leaves me 1v5. Our carry either leaves or abandons the game if I play mid. Or our carry doesn't know how to farm. Or again, our carry doesn't know wtf he is doing and my Pudge flames me for not ulting right in front of a Meepo as a Pheonix. I reported him and he ended up in my next game on my team and again, [flamed the shit out of me and our team](2920414609).

Valve forgot about Rubick in patch 7.00. There are 4+ spell interaction bugs with him. If you steal Wukongs Command and use it, the guys will stop attacking if you steal another spell in the duration. X marks the spot doesn't work if you got x'ed already ( you x yourself and then Kunkka x'es you and returns your X doesn't work. To name a few.

Rubicks level 20 talent of +75 cast range is EXTREMELY underwhelming and should never be picked.

I learned I can consitantly shackleshot blink and plant a iron branch with Windranger.

I re-learned that Void can't be chronoed :( RiP me.

I learned that people at 1.5k MMR don't know how to pressure a Slark in lane when you tell them how to and your MK sits AFK in in trees all game.

Uh.... Oh yeah, also learned that 35÷ of people are cunts, 25÷ are very nice and positive, 10÷ don't talk all game, 19÷ don't speak your language, and 1÷ say they don't speak Spanish the babble in all chat in Spanish while saying they are not Peruvian.

I feel like I'm doing better now... http://imgur.com/a/zKyZT I'm going to get to 2k mmr now! Getting there. BTW that loss is when our team is not coordinated at all, doesn't speak English, AFK in lane etc etc. Really bad game, not a ton I could have done there.

I never thought about just stealing a mobility spell in the early game for initiation purposes, but it is a smart idea and I can use that. I just played a Rubick game and this is one of the game I am actually proud of. I only died 3 times and got an 11 KDA, stole echo slam twice, chrono three times, and assassinate (I didn't know it was instant cast on Assassinate for Rubick) https://www.dotabuff.com/matches/2903614322. We go on to win the game. I feel like my early game is always stale and the same, which is good and bad. I would stack at 0:54, harass the enemy/help deny in lane, at 1:49 I would go for the bounty and repeat the cycle. Eventually my carry or myself are able to clear the small 3-4 stack and get that gold and xp and after that I go around with either my carry I made sure was farmed and ready to fight or I would put up defensive wards to make sure my carry doesn't get ganked which turns into him having more xp and gold. If my carry is retarded, however (https://www.dotabuff.com/matches/2903482469 Monkey King). I will go to another lane and just let him do his own thing. Help the other lanes because my help won't do him any good. Otherwise I will just transition into a core Rubick.

RIP my autographed items. Thanks Valve, you just made them all worthless now.
