Latency issues for past couple weeks

Hello,

As of a few weeks ago I started getting serious latency issues on a match-by-match basis when playing HOTS, but everything else (including other games) seems unaffected. It will happen for the entire duration of a match, whereas the very next match is completely fine.
(I’ve followed all the FAQ (Connection Troubleshooting - Blizzard Support))

  • Under the Region settings I can see anywhere from 0-15ms ping for North American servers which I have selected.
  • CTRL+ALT+F in a good match consistently shows 3ms-5ms ping.
  • CTRL+ALT+F in a bad match shows anywhere from 85ms-225ms ping. However, discord and other apps are unaffected during this time.

Below are a handful of reports. MSInfo along with MTR and tracert to HOTS US Central (24.105.62.129) and battle.net

bump, facing similar issues

Howdy BrbHouseFire,

It looks like there is some issues happening on the AT&T route before reaching our servers which is causing the latency to spike over 100ms. This is likely contributing to the latency issues you are experiencing in-game. I would recommend testing another network temporarily like a mobile hotspot or try a free VPN to see if there’s any improvement. If so, then I would suggest contacting your ISP to discuss why these issues are happening on their route.

Howdy BILARUS,

Your situation is likely different since you are in another location. Please create your own thread and include a WinMTR test so we can see what is happening for you specifically.
