Dota 2

you can get +-180 ms which is playable. I actually only play eu servers coz of the ZA servers being inhabited by foul mouth children.

I'm with afrihost in durban.

You kidding? You can easily get 170ms if you choose the right ISP, and that's more than playable. I actually prefer playing on EU, just because the playerbase is bigger

GaskooN, I haven't been in the ADSL loop for a while but I hear good things from WebAfrica, MWEB and Afrihost. See if you got mates that will lend you their account, just so you can be sure it's the ISP and not the line.

No I am not kidding. I said it won't change by MUCH. Playing with anything above 100ms makes last hitting more difficult.

If you struggling to last hit with anything above 100ms, then I've got bad news for you...

That aside, getting 180-200ms is totally playable. Plus EU games are far better, for me at least.

I will also be updating the thread as the tournament progresses. Going to be epic.
 
I just played a game which got into a heated argument, the guy on our side said he was having lag issues, so I told him Telkom sucks and he should find a different ISP preferably one that uses the MTN IPC, he then turned around and said that Telkom "owns" everything and that every ISP will act the same way.

I tried to explain to him how AH/MTN's network works and he promptly told me that he works for "them", I assumed Telkom.

I then told him to do some research and get his facts straight.

He then swore at me and went AFK from that time on.


Sigh.

Yeah, but moving ISPs is a mission for a bit of temporary lag. And what a point to argue in a DotA game. This is why I play with VoIP disabled and regularly mute other players. I wish people would just STFU and play the game. That's all I want when I join a game, not philosophical discussions, technical arguments, or people telling me how I should be playing the game because they saw Dendi do a killer build once with my hero.
