german bots are the suck

[SouwlEye]

Alright, I dont think you're aware of how big a problem this is hans. But your german hostbots are unplayable for most nordic countries, danish people and fins cant play for shit on them. My mates and I - constantly have a max spike around 30 which is near unplayable.

ways to fix this problem? Make one of the NL bots host league-games so people can choose freely, I do believe more nationalities play DIV-dota than just germans. You're missing out a great deal of players - having only german hostbots hosting league games, I dont see how making one of the nl bots host league games can be a problem.

or even better, find a sweet swedish windows server - which all the nordic players could join and all other nationalities... I do believe most people would prefer swe>german hostbot anytime. with the exception of germans ofc.

The current way is not ideal.

german server are one of the best in europe due to germans infrastructure.
ofc nordic player have a delay so they prefer nordic servers. but nordic-server suck for france,spain,portugal,czech, etc. everything lower then netherlands literaly.
germany is kinda the center of westeurope which makes it best choice for europe player.
otherwise hans2 needs to buy a spainserver aswell or even an czech/polish...

That explains why people always search for swedes when they need a neutral host.... sigh.
And it's cool you can play on the german bot being from spain or cze or whatever.
But it's irrelevant, danish, fin and most swedish players cant. and it's not delayed. It's spiky as hell. unplayable.

So unless hans only want to target germans and espans and cze's I say he should do something about it.
Im not saying all hostbots should be from sweden. Just one, what's the problem rly?

give me access to nl or nordic server and i host some bots there

[SouwlEye]

Alright hans, i'll see what I can do. For now, change one of the NL bots to host league game, if the germans and spains wanna join the german bot they can still do that. Always two league games up at a time.

well which bots have those spikes? i have some too but its not significant.
scandinavian server can have spikes too. that has nothing to do with server location. it seems more likely that a few bots (magn?) do have an overall shitty server^^

i am in germany and i have those 20/30 intervals too all the time at all bots - and i think all have cause all complain about it

Bots are always fine for me.
Stop using wlan. Start wiring!

This is only theoretically true. I almost never had lags on ger hosts by LC or DZ. But always have hard spikes on those MGN ger bots. Today for 4 games i had 2 discs, all 4 games spikes permanently, while my net is ok.

For example i can't no shit play sf here cause spikes fuck up 50% razes and lasthits. Actually only bara/tide/ogre are heroes not influenced ^^ but ty wont play them too often

On dutch SUTEKH bots there is no lag at all! Problem may lay not in ger but in these MGN things/

100%agree with OP

give more different bots, atleast 1 for div-league pls -->moar players come, u will see
