    I live and play NA east. I've recently been attempting to play EU W some, mostly because of friends. Dota lag is far different than SC lag. How to adjust to 150-180 ping from my regular 50?

    Tips, thoughts, tricks?

        I would also like to know, the only good ping is South Africa. Would like to play other servers too.

          I play with between 150-250ms grand.

          You just gotta try be a little bit better with prediction imo.

          you could always play a few bot games or w/e to get used to it

            @ Wink, that's the intention. I want to become comfortable with it. What do you guys normally average?

              Unfortunately i just tried one game with 200ms and immidiately regret it.
              I have an average of 20 to 40 ms per game usually.

                There will be a few heros I will attempt to avoid, IE AA / visage. I think I can handle some heros on those servers however, atleast I have in the past.

                    in us east i have 30, in west i have 100, in EU west i have 100, and i have never gone farther

                    I can play almost every hero just fine with 100 ping, ive yet to try skillshot heroes in my non-main servers out of fear of being shit. i should try to make a lobby and practice with bots in the eu servers

                      100 is still a decent ping to play, above 100 (IMHO) its not so good

                                The AA player for my team handles it very well on 200+ ping (he plays SEA from Australia). He also plays the micro-intensive supports like Chen/Visage.

                                I think it's a matter of getting used to it.

                                  You can get used to it. I used to play wc3 with 1/1.5 delay back in the day which is a huge fucking deal for an rts. But i was used to it that it almost didnt affect me.

                                  Once i got rid of delay it was hilarious how better i became. It feels like running with weights.

                                    It's not that big of a deal for most heroes. Makes last hitting a little harder as well. But damn, you need some balls to play Chen with high ping.

                                      Bro, I always have 150-180, that is if I'm not at 3000.
