Sometimes my internet becomes... intermittent. I get like 1 frame server response every .5 seconds on average, and it becomes incredibly difficult to play. However, I've noticed I can actually play somewhat under these conditions. While I cannot play optimally, and last hitting creeps is out of the question, I can often contribute to fights, landing abilities, and even occasionally get kills. Is this similar to other's experiences?
Also, on a marginally related note, sometimes my ping is great, and the connection seems fine, 0% packet loss. But then when I click to move somewhere, it takes over a second before I visually start to see my character move. This doesn't happen all the time, and is subtle when it does happen, so much that I sometimes wonder if I had even clicked at all. But I can tell when it happens and it's incredibly frustrating. Anyone else have any guesses as to what causes this or how I can tell for certain whats happening?
Heavy lag (say, stable at 300 ms) is playable, so long as you pick a jungler, a support or have really really great timing for lasthitting. If your internet is unstable though (lots of spikes), there's not really much you can do. Personally I'd rather not play.
300 lag is really hard imo, even if yor playing support, it's so hard to react quickly. Last hitting is one thing, but sometimes getting in those perfect timing spells, blocking etc are really hard.and whoever your supporting will rage at you for reacting slowly This is basically why I havent played for a while, my connection is stuck at 250-300 ping. so hard if your used to 40-50 ping.
Yeah, I'm cursed with rubick with a 25% win rate, but 80% win rate with shadow shaman. And with carries, spectr is my charm with 80% as well. That's with like 30 games on each one.
Last word, I hate versing spirit breaker when your hero comp has nothing to handle him
Not a lot of compelling reason to start RoB unless you're going to stop Treants early to max Teleport. Branches and Clarities, can help with support items if you feel like it (the lack of a second support means that your team's single support will probably choose not to buy wards, so it can help mid a lot if you buy the rune ward).

If you have random gold, options open up more.
Are you related to TheMango or is that just a coincidence?

i have like 0% winrate with spectre (and void), tell me your secrets...
If i'm playing with AM/PL/Morph/Naga/etc is soo much easy to catch up in farm (basically because I almost never win my lane playing with somekind of hardcarry, lgd style), but with void and spectre is sooo hard, I don't know why, maybe because they are slow so I can't get at jungle before my team steal the neutrals
These are the best interviews in eSports. All seemingly unfiltered questions from random russian fans like.
"Do you think there should be girls, like in football, who are there for sexual purposes to support the players" "How many hamburgers do you eat per day" "What do you think about paris hilton"
Sold my Whale sword and bought the Whale hook. Was going to buy Stumpy or the Yak from the marketplace with the leftovers and just decided to chance it with a key...Very glad I did
Are You shitting me? I hate people which such luck... damn it. I've opened like 15 chests and had only rares and mythicals, never a decent courier, meh... I envy.
