May anyone technical explain to me what causes this input lag or how can I adhere to this problem?

The Lag is extremely painful with a input delay of 4-5 seconds for the last 6-12 months!
And no my specs/hardware are not the problem! I am playing from South Africa but did not
experience this problem before?

I try to play 1v1 and I am not a bad player but seems this is constantly
keeping me from being competitive! I am really frustrated with this problem!>:(

Did you checked your internet connection, like what is your ping to the game Server?
You can check this with CELO

Ok how would I do that for I do not know the game server address? Is there more than one game server? What is CELO?o_O

Hey Crimson. I realise this thread is 10 days old but I wanted to share my personal experience on this subject as my games have gone from no noticeable input delay to 3-4 seconds input delay (barely playable but extremely unfun) and 6-7 seconds at absolute worst; Playing with 6 seconds input delay is like trying to give instructions to someone who's black out drunk.

My ping hasn't changed, but recently my network connection has experienced a tiny amount of packet loss, about 3%. Now, no amount of packet loss is ever "tiny" because even the smallest number of packets dropped can really fuck up your day.

I mainly play 2 games, Dota and COH 2. Dota 2 is just about playable with packet loss as there are dedicated servers to communicate with which can minimise the effect of packet loss. You'll drop a few frames, sound queues, commands whatever but at least there's no input delay.

Packet loss in COH 2 however translated to huge input delay. I feel the reason the effect is so bad for packet loss is because of the P2P connection. I've played high ping COH 2 with no packet loss (against Australians and Americans) where input delay has been negligible, and I've played games against fellow British and European (heh, not for long Monkas) players with 3 input delay which played as if I was gaming from fucking Saturn. I'm not exactly sure why a P2P connection would cause this but then again I took not networking units at Uni :(

TL : DR Basically I'm pretty sure any amount of packet loss will massively jack up how much input delay you experience due to COH 2's lack of dedicated game servers.
