130ms on euw :/..how's that possible? are dota server's somewhere 'closer to pakistan' on eu or is that ping because of an internet connection other than ptcl?
130-140ms (europe west) for people in Karachi with optimised connections, don't ask for details :crazy:


As for why low pings, well I had gotten volvo and PTCL to set up direct peering with each other (back in 2013, i think O_O ) so they established peering sessions and now PTCL has optimised connections to DOTA2 EUW and SEA servers.

Post traceroutes.

Step 1:
Open CMD (Command Prompt) / Network Utility / Terminal

→ Press Windows Key + R on your keyboard to open RUN Window

→ Type in "CMD" and press OK

Step 2:
Tracerouting

Once you have opened up CMD type in "tracert 103.28.54.1" (without quotes)


Post the screenshot here once the traceroute finishes (can take from 15 - 30sec).
Here you go:

Hey guys,
planning on trying dota 2 primarily because I have played and a fan of Dota 1, LoL and Hots..

Anyway's want to get some info before jumping into the bottomless pit of dota again.


  • Which server's do you guys play on,
  • what ping's do you get (ptcl) (not counting the bad pings after submarine issue),
  • can you shift servers without losing progress,
  • How's the pakistani playerbase
  • how's the basic progress system of the game
  • I usually play on South East Asian servers.
  • Usually get 130-140 on SEA servers.
  • Yep. You can choose any server you want. Won't effect your progress.
  • Pretty decent now. And is getting bigger and bigger.
  • Well, in Dota 2, you don't really care about the progress system unless you are a level Abuses will lead to ban. Because at the end of the day, it's how you play that counts, whether you're level 20 or you're level 200. The level doesn't give you any bonuses or special perks etc.
    One point to note is that you won't be able to play Ranked Matches till you reach level 13.

Your pings to SEA server are fine... check again which server you're playing on :crazy:
Well, you don't get to choose servers in Custom games. I guess the hosting areas of games I played made the ping lame.

So, how is everyone liking the move to Reborn?

Nice GUI aside, Custom games are a godsend. Since they have improved it from the Beta days, It's just really fun playing different custom gamers with your Dota bros. Overthrow is the best when all of you are on Skype. Everyone's just screaming and cursing each other when you tag team against someone etc. So fun. :p

    I dont think games have looked any better since 2019 onwards and they are performing worse and worse. Game developers have really dropped the ball.

    So while Playing Control, I found a journal which said that a bathroom is missing in Islamabad Beurue of Control. With Alan Wake and Control seems to be connected worlds. Even our city is in the universe as well. No wonder those Trail 5 and Trail 6 are haunted.
    did you know you can see @NaNoW credited in the game too ? :p

    What is peoples obsession with Battle Royale genre. 6 minutes to find a match, 3 minutes to setup a match, 2 minutes to land, 10 minutes for scavanging maybe 2 3 gunfigts and its over. Multiplayer landscape is looking absolute dogshit.
    I tried playing Apex Legends once. Couldn't find a gun for 5 minutes straight. If I found a gun, I couldn't find the right ammo for it. Got killed fighting with my fists. Uninstalled it the next day.

    I usually stay away from animes. Vinland saga changed the way i look at my life, and my experiences within. I recommend every breathing human being to watch this animated masterpiece at least once fromstart to finish.
    After I watched it, I never felt like i watched a show. It was a friggin journey. I got way too attached to Thorfinn and seeing him grow up and find himself and get rid of all the negativity inside of him was just pure bliss.

    With how great cod warzone has translated onto mobile. Mainstream Consoles have lost its value even further. Maybe console gaming was associated with TVs and how TV is not the primary source of media consumption anymore, consoles will lose its 200 million core audiences even further.
