So I see CC's video where his crawler rushes in, takes a bite and rushes out without being hit. Mine dont do that. Mine even take damage whan according to my screen they are out of range of the sword.

I get it; he's a better player than me :)

But also, I think its affected by ping or lag. Sombody said 'CC has a good computer', which I assume would mean a good connection.

Here in Qatar, we have a decent download speed, but crappy upload speed. Intuitively I think its the upload which slows down the game and causes lag - is that right?
I can apply for faster internet (at a cost) or I can change the upload-download spread. Will I get better gaming if I have them equal, or what would be the ideal ratio?

I think its currently 2MB down, 512kb upload (may even be 256 kb up).

I understand what the numbers mean, but I dont know enough tech to know which the game uses most - do I need more download?? Am I right to think its set that way cos most people download more than they upload, and for us gamers its not ideal?

Thanks for any tips.

Maybe Qatar money is worth less than ours, so items have higher prices? :P I dunno.
