DotA and HoN have Australian servers. You ever play on BA? | ||

I think everyone who played WoW knows how to do this. In any case: http://www.arenajunkies.com/topic/110439-registry-fix-for-latency-reduction-picture-edition/ You can also try and find a ping reducer service, but I think that all of them are paid, like $15USD a month or so. | ||

I roll over and die on 4 gate maps as i play Toss. for all other match ups I try to handle the latency by going for a more macro based game and overrunning instead of intensive micro | ||

Well, it works. It's a tunneling service, so it will reduce your latency to a certain amount. Most of those services have something like a ping test to their server or a free trial, so you can check how much latency you get using their program. Sometimes it won't help at all, because you are already using the quickest route to battle.net servers. | ||

A VPN or other tunnel just makes things worse: you are wrapping your traffic in a parcel, sending it to an american server (same latency as you already have) then it has to get un-wrapped and sent to battle.net, how can that do anything but make things worse. The only case where it might help a bit is where your ISP sucks so much it, for some reason, might have a terrible route to battle.net but a good route to a VPN provider. However that is extremely unlikely and might change from week to week anyway. Plus, you're still doomed to the figures at the start of the topic. What with the various routers and infrastructure and copper between australia and SEA or australia and NA servers, you're not gonna see better than the figures quoted at the start of the topic. | ||

As for on SEA, I get 250-300 ms lag and Terran is unplayable for me. I can live with playing at those lags, but the moment I get matched up with a player from Singapore, it's something like 400-500ms (for my side). Makes me rage @ Optus Singtel | ||

You don't really have a choice but to concede that some micro tricks are going to be incredibly difficult to pull off and you have to anticipate things a lot earlier to allow for the delay. I don't even bother playing on SEA server since the delay makes it unplayable. | ||

The korean streamer slayers_dragon repeatedly explains he does not ladder on NA because the lag sucks, and EU because the lag sucks harder. Take one look at his 2 rax vs zerg, or many other micro situations and realize half of his game talent is gone if he must ladder on NA or EU. So he can only ladder on KR or SEA which are both local to him. | ||
