You sure it's Ireland? I assumed because atl was in the name it was Atlanta. If that's the case then what can I do? If I call up my ISP and tell them my connection is routing through Ireland to get to Atlanta, can they fix it if I tell them to? How does this explain the progressive lagging as I play...

IMO only games that are balanced should be ranked I believe you're talking about the map/game here. Now if you are talking about autobalance by elo, where the bot shuffle players in lobby before of game starts, I don't think it will make a big difference, also some playes rather to play with their ...

Posted this in another thread earlier today about the lag in games. I'll play a few games that are mostly lag free, but it seems like the longer you play the more laggy it gets. It's fine on dotacash. I'm in Florida btw. So Atlanta isn't far away. What's also funny, is when I ping, I get between 20-...

IMO only games that are balanced should be ranked you are shooting in the dark, every player has a different idea about balance.. :3 It's just my opinion. It would make for better games. I don't understand what you mean by idea about balance. Isn't that the whole point of a rating system though? To...

Wouldn't the 200ms spikes on the tracert for eihl mean there would also be lag there? There was also timeout on the hops right? That's what those stars mean right?

How do I change what servers I connect to?

The last paragraph I am, sorry found this thread through google and didn't know that ENT Connect was a separate program. Thought it just had to do with connecting to the bots through WC3. Tried ENT Connect once today, and it lagged the same, but the ping showed up as high this time. I pinged and tra...

I agree the rating system is broken. IMO only games that are balanced should be ranked. You don't match high rated players against low rated players in other games, Why allow it here? You can still have the regular games. Just disable the SD system in them and make them unrated. That way there is in...

Getting the same problems. I'll play a few games that are mostly lag free, but it seems like the longer you play the more laggy it gets. It's fine on dotacash. I'm in Florida btw. So Atlanta isn't far away. What's also funny, is when I ping, I get between 20-60 ms, but when playing it looks awful wi...
