Oh yea it is normally ridiculously one-sided.
Is your ISP Afrihost by any chance? One of my friends has the same issue, he can't update any steam games

I had a similarly buggy issue with Sniper Elite 3 last night (also trying to run it through Steam). It kept crashing. So I went to go verify local game files integrity and after doing that, I was able to play. Might be worth trying the same for DOTA?

I'm using Afrihost and don't have the issue.
I've had something similar but a quick steam relog usually does the trick. Also, check your download server is set to your region. I'm in CT and found it to be set to JHB.
We have checked download server, restarted steam, reinstalled steam. Cleared the steam cache, tried the -tcp thing. Nothing works
I had that issue and reported it to Valve. Couple of minutes later it just miraculously started downloading all by itself. I also tried changing region, changing max download speed, reinstalling steam, the whole works. In the end it just started working by itself.

There is a lesser known mechanic that also counts as a deny. If a non-hero unit (under the control of an enemy unit) launches a fatal projectile at you or an allies and, while said projectile is in flight, you assume control of that unit (be it via HoD or with Chen/Enchantress), the projectile will still killed the intended hero but it will be counted as a deny.

New Dota buff stats are awesome. Haven't played in a while though. Busy with bf1
Seems like the servers are braindead again, Played a scrim vs Havox and co and it looked like we were watching a slide show. Tested EU with new fibre line and the servers are fine there so I wonder whats going on with SA servers
Indeed. Played again last night, same issue. Might give it a break for a few days.
Had them same issue earlier this year.
We have had the same. Played a pub on Monday, and then had some lobby matches and a pub game last night. All of them were pretty much powerpoint matches.

SEACOM related perhaps? Is that still an issue?

I played a game last night and it was better than it has been. Not perfect, but playable.

Ok cool. Hopefully it's ok tomorrow. I'm going to be online for an extended games session with Techead and we're hoping to crack on through a few games. This was my last game with Dazzle
