Did I get DDoS attacked? in General Discussion
reaL stöge :D

    Some strange shit happened just a moment ago when we were about to finish a game... Enemy's Tide was down for dozens of seconds without a buyback and we were just about to siege their high ground. I jumped in on their heroes and after 5 seconds of attacking I got a huge lag spike and disconnected almost immediately. My whole Internet connection went down and despite resetting my router for 2 times I couldn't get it back online. After 20 minutes the connection was working again.

    I was playing with a full stack of friends and none of them had any lag issues, they thought I would just rage quit or something which I of course did not do. I don't know if it is technically possible to DDoS an individual player in Dota, but DDoS attacks aren't that hard to do in general anyway. I have a stable connection from a trusted ISP and have had never issues like this before nor they have any reports of malfunction on their website.

    Your thoughts on this? -25 doesn't bother me that much. I'm just interested if anyone else has had similar issues or knows something about this.

    PS. Shorty after my DC enemy's Spectre states "i am really sry for this dc" and they all proceed to get our rax like they are sure I'm not coming back. That seems kinda suspicious to me.
