Connection Error

[breast milk🥛]

Today's the first time I've gotten a connection error in weeks, and I've had 4 in a row. 1 while quing for ranked and 3 mid match. I don't think it's my internet, im currently 12 ping, 204 down and 53 up. I restarted pc and restarted router but no dice. Any solutions?

Because this is a peer to peer game, it's really about how good a routing you have between you and your opponent.

Most isps have good routing for places where data centers are, since most of their customers access those daily, but sometimes the routing for random houses is not as good.

Usually routing issues happen due to cables breaking and needing repairs and stuff. You can wait it out or you can use a VPN to "borrow" a different routing. I personally like cloudflares warp, but any good VPN should do the trick.

I normally don't use a vpn because my ping doubles, but I'll give it a try

The trick is to pick a VPN close to your physical location. Warp generally has a server in most cities, or at least close enough. Generally a 10 to 20 ms gain, but I use it whenever my isp isn't doing so well. Better a 20ms increase than spotty dropping conns and all.

also do the disconnects give you a ban or flag or whatever? Kuz I probably have one by now lol, my rank points have dropped several hundred just kuz of the disconnects

This is embarrassing, but I found the problem. My Ethernet cable wasn't connected all the way, so it kept switching between Ethernet and wifi causing connection to keep being dropped and picked up
