The undersea cable fault means increased traffic along other routes. - Nobody's fault, TM is forced to reroute all additional traffic.
The existing fiber infrastructure is overloaded. - TM's fault for aggressively marketing their product past what their infrastructure can handle. It's like selling 10 ice cream sticks to 100 people and asking them to share.
The combination of the above 2 issues has greatly affected the quality of UniFi services.

Servers are overloaded. - Valve's fault. SEA services multiple countries, each with a high density of DotA players. There was a graph of servers and their load posted on Reddit during the last round of server outages, and it was clearly visible that the server in this region is painfully overloaded.
Server maintenance is poor. - eClub's fault. This one doesn't really need much explaining, we've all seen what they're capable (or not) of.
The above 2 issues, in combination with the previous 2, make DotA 2 unplayable for those on UniFi during peak hours.

Moral of the story - if you're not on Streamyx/non-TM line, don't play during peak hours.


P.S. Your lag/spike/missing animations = someone else's loss. Be considerate, remember how much you hurt that Pinoy who fed because he's lagging.

Enemy team Mirana - 100% arrow hit rate.
My team Mirana - 100% miss rate.

Missing animations means nothing when missing skill is abundant in quantity.

Nice!
PL will probably get a Juxtaposition rework. As for BS, maybe Thirst will revert to giving bonus armor, but in aura form?

Can't wait to play this patch, it seems to suit my playstyle very well.

This.

I think you're mistaken here. The new rune system rewards roaming supports and mids who guess the rune location wrongly. Leaving the lane normally results in losing gold/exp, and this rune helps cover that. The purpose of the new rune system is to encourage more active play from the mid player in the laning stage.

Unkers guild lobby up. All are welcome to join.

Nope, no problems. In fact, last night was one of the smoothest nights these last few months, I managed to get an average of 25ms.

Streamyx tends to have problems when multiple users are accessing time-sensitive protocols (games/video streaming etc.) at the same time.

Gonna take a while to adjust to the map changes. Thankfully, I've been skipping ranked to focus on the all hero challenge. Better to trash my win rate than my MMR.

+1

I've not had a chance to play the new map, but the one thing I've read is that this patch penalizes teams that drag their feet. It may lead to a more stale competitive scene, but pub-wise it's a godsend. Winning teams should be those with the conviction to end, not those who go back to farming after winning a teamfight.

People should play WD more. He has good basic ms, high attack damage, and can net solo kills by level 3. His low str and channeling ulti is very useful for training one's positioning. Skill builds should be adjusted according to the game as imbugz has suggested (saving your skill points can prove very important at critical levels such as 1/2/6 etc.)

Ini macam better pick Omni/Dazzle over WD.

Haha. Nothing is more annoying that having the entire enemy team escape with red hp bars. Lockdown is king.

They made it to the 3rd spot in TI3, and the current patch benefits Mushi, who plays a large portion of the hero pool. I think they'll do well provided there's no infighting.

Meta is a beast in the laning stage, and in the late game his illusions can take down towers/raxes in seconds. 10/10 would pick if not banned.

As hard2k has mentioned, not getting exp for a certain time counts as an abandon. This issue has already been brought to Valve's attention, but there seems to be no solution yet. Best not to play so passively, at least take control of your jungle or clear creeps that are pushing the tier 3s.

Some of my friends are taking part in the tourney, but sadly I have to head back to my hometown.

If you're there, please support team Seismic-X!

Long weekend la bai. Most people balik kampung.

I finally have the time to play and server goes potato?

If you let the enemy carry farm a radiance, you deserve to lose.
If you fail to end the game before the enemy carry can come online, you deserve to lose.
If you throw bodies at the raxes without planning and get teamwiped, you deserve to lose.

People still don't get this - the objective of the game is to destroy the enemy's ancient. If you lack conviction to finish off the game, you deserve to lose.
