Hots kinda feels unplaybale due to input delay with mouse cursor interactions, which involve clicking as well as ability usage on every heroe. Always feels a 1 second delay so playing any kind of heroe. This also involves stutter stepping as well as auto attack interactions just doesn’t work. Never used to have this let’s say during the first 5 years of hots (personally) but at some point it just got worse and worse and now to the point where I have to play characters that don’t involve much interaction during the game.
This has probably been spoken about before so maybe im a broken record but just feels awful to play when I can play other mobas and and have what feels like instant interaction. No delay.
I have the same problem when playing HotS on my brother’s Windows laptop and my MacBook Pro m1, even using Crossover. At the same time there’s no such problem with my gaming PC. Still can’t figure out what is the problem
Same here. Whenever I come back to the game, it goes smooth for like 10-15 matches. Then the delay sets in. I dunno what causes it.
I have since moved house. Changed ISP. Got a whole new PC. It absolutely isn’t my problem. There’s something going on in HOTS and I dunno what it is.

I also have this issue, it’s definitely on the game, but support doesnt care, doesnt answer anyone, or anything
HOTS is my favorite game, but I cant play
My ping is 50ms, but FEELS like 120ms, and there’s nothing I can do to improve it, I have a super powerful PC, 9070xt, ryzen 9800x3d, updated drivers, stable connection with 800mbps+, and I can’t find a single individual from support to answer any question I have, they simply don’t care
they don’t give a f**k
Same thing here, I have optic fiber and ironically the speed at which I download this game is so fast it makes the experience of playing it a joke in comparison. It was completely fine for a while but suddenly and more intrusively it became worse to the point that I can’t play it anymore. If I do ctrl+alt+F to see my ping it shows between 60-90ms consistently without any fluctuations, which seems fine but it feels more like 250-500ms for every single character I play, the responsiveness of characters has slowly becoming off, and it doesn’t happen the same with other videogames I’m currently playing just something that is part of HoTS alone.
I have the same issue, I’ve already created 999 topics around the same problem, related to high input delay even with low ping, but no one ever answers, no one cares
This game is just sh1t, Blizzard doesn’t give any f*ck, so I just stopped playing and that’s it
