Dota – Low ping, but delay in-game seemingly random

dota-2

I'm not experiencing any issue with other applications.

Here is what the top-right system HUD tells me right now:

 FPS / PING  60  25
LOSS / KBPS   0  190

The bottom right number reached about 2000 when Tinker used march, although I could not reproduce that.

When I'm experiencing delay, the ping stays the same while only the kbps increases.

  • OS: Windows 10
  • Bandwidth: 30/1

Let me know if there are other things I should give to help debug.

Try using another account. It might seem dumb but even pro players (Arteezy and EternalEnvy) had something in their Steam Cloud that led to extreme input delay and lag while having standard pings and no packet loss.

If changing accounts fixes it, Google about erasing Steam Cloud data, it's fairly easy and you just have to follow a guide step-by-step.
