Fixing my internet issue my way
yo guys,
I don't know about you, but I'm super paranoid about queuing for ranked only to realize 3 minutes into the lane that my net is acting up. Doing a normal speedtest is kinda useless because it just checks your download speed, and booting up a custom lobby every single time takes too long.
So I spent some time putting together this little site: https://www.dota2ready.com/
You just click a button and it checks the stuff that actually ruins games—jitter, packet loss, and latency. Then it just gives you a score from 0 to 100 to tell you if your connection is actually stable enough for Dota, or if you're probably gonna end up feeding because of lag.
It's free, runs in your browser in like 15 seconds, and works on your phone too (useful if you want to check the house wifi from your bed before turning on your PC).
I built it mostly for my discord stack so we stop losing mmr to someone saying "sorry guys I have 20% packet loss rn", but figured some of you here might actually use it too.
Let me know if it works for you, or if the scoring feels totally off compared to how your game actually feels. Roasting my logic is also welcome. GL next!
