I've played up to 400 ping before and it was still playable going with armlet and blink on Skeleton King. SA server gud server. On USE, I've played on 300-350 ping and tend to just pick supports. It usually doesn't backfire, I tend to feed no matter what ping I'm on anyway. | ||

Techies is pretty good for high ping, just set things up and suicide when necessary.  | ||

Tldr I'd rather have 150ms stable ping. Then 5ms that spikes to 100. | ||

Anything up to ~170 has no effect on gameplay but might need some getting used to anyway if you didn't play on it before. 150-250 is ok, but it's better to avoid playing puck (to be fair it's better to always avoid playing puck) and other micro intensive stuff. 250-400 CrystalWaifu is playable, if you channel your inner Garena player. | ||

timing dependent heroes like puck, lina, etc are harder to play, but you'll get used to the delay when you play more when everything else fails and you still miss your skillshots, blame your ping | ||

Around 300 it's still actually playable dodging skillshots and making ones are harder and notably you feel it's delayed. The truly unplayable is around 400 above that shit is unbearable. If you are used to 100-150 pretty sure you could play heroes like even storm/puck/etc | ||

I'd probably list the breakpoint at 150+ ping before it felt too awful to play. | ||

I'm SG and we don't play on 5ms. Valve servers are fucking shit. Average 60 on good days. Spiking to 300-500 ms during peak hours is pretty common for me, fuck valve really :D Servers were perfect in the past. | ||

Like if I'm freefarming a lane I'm going to get 90%+ CS if I'm at steady 200 ping, but like 50-80% or less if I'm spiking a lot. | ||

not that playing with high ping is fun or productive for pubs but winning is still quite viable if you're good | ||

How to play in another region with low pings? I want to play in SEA region with a few friends but ping is quite high... You can see ping to all regions when hitting play once. If they are all bad you need something to change your routing to a better one. Step one is doing a tracert and talk to your ISP to see if they can fix the step breaking the ping. If that isn't possible and alternative ISPs are just as good (likely) then you can try a proxy and see if it helps. Sometimes it helps, sometimes it doesn't since the problem is before the proxy can kick in. http://www.pcadvisor.co.uk/how-to/game/how-reduce-ping-latency-3609346/ has some general problem solving advice. As for the actual topic, WC3 had 250ms and it was playable. It just was more enjoyable when one started using third party tools to get 100ms at first and then as low as the host could get as solutions improved. | ||

With that ping I play support heroes that don't require too much timing on the skills that have cast times | ||

For me, I'm too used to 30ms-70ms ping now. Anything close to 100ms and it starts to get REALLY annoying. | ||

For me 200ping spikes are really annoying and if I break 300 I usually stop playing. Most of the time have 30-70 however, which is great. | ||

as i queue for both at reasonable times, i have a higher winrate on west and notice the latency difference playing on east. i can't hold down keys to rapidfire keypresses, but i do mash quite often to get out of sticky situations, hoping to get lucky for blinks, bkbs, manta, armlet toggles, or wands. i am sure the ping doesn't affect myself for this more than it does for my opponents, because it's their execution that counts here. in counterstrike i played at around maybe ~22fps average as an early professional when CPL and CAL was a thing. earlier LCD monitors had slow reponse times too, but rarely if ever it was recognizable or a hindrance. i mean 16ms is 1/60th of a second, or frame-perfect for some games. the standard for counterstrike was 30+. as for dota 2 and starcraft 2 i sit at around 30fps as well, same pings all around for starcraft. for me, it's just a lot more pleasant to play on other systems with higher fps, and i'd rather deal with consistent latency in the 100's as a tradeoff, especially in a game like dota 2. leading shots in counterstrike was doable as well, with 150ping or more. quite a lot of math was done by a lot of players to figure out just how much you needed to compensate for that if we weren't playing at venue or something. | ||
