      125 is a bit high but okay for playing. You only really notice a slight delay from 150 up. Id say anything below 200 is playable although anything above 150 starts to have noticeable delays.
      Obviously at higher MMRs where reaction time has a bigger effect you want to be below 100 ping at least.
      My ping usually sits between 80 and 120 and its fine.

        Same for me. I got used to it

          Rofl this is so funny. I am from South Africa where there is no ranked dota, we search EU West where u get 250 ping. It has made me basically abandon mmr completed and almost kill myself. 125 ping is nothing.

          P.S people have got 5k searching at 200 ping.

            Get PLDT. I have 70 ping.

              If you're used to high ping then 125 is ok, but i feel the game is behind me when the ping is 90+, since i always play at 80 max. Anything more then 100 is too much and unplayable for me.

                Before AU servers existed I played USwest with 180 ping. Also I've played SEA sometimes with friends with around 130 ping and it's playable, just not ideal if you are a hero that requires fast reactions like Puck or Storm.

                  I used to have 20 ping but one day it got to 3000(not even joking) then now its around 110

                    200 ping isnt unplayable, i get ~190 on euwest and its not terrible, not ideal either but its ok.

                      im used to 5 ping. 200 is unplayable if u are used to 5 ping

                        Am I the only one here who gets casual 400 pings and 20%+ packet loss?

                          i play with 90-120 ping , its fine if you get used to it

                            I'm with u Farix :-/

                            As long as your ping is consistent and doesn't spike to 400 every few seconds u can get used to it. Not ideal.

                              I get 190 eu west and it's perfectly playable

                                @Good Vibes & 1K Miracle: How do you guys get such low ping from SA to EU? I never get below 300 in EU :(

                                @Farix: Are you playing over Wifi? The packet loss could be interference with Wifi. Try connecting to the router with a cable and see if that fixes it.
