Am I a Dumbass or what?
Right, a few questions,
1)Is there anyway to host a ranked match? Cos I just keep joining games?
2)Is anyone else getting really bad lag? It cant be my connection cos I`m on 20meg Cable?
Any response will be greatly apreciated

1) There is no way to determine anything with Ranked. It's all automatic. Your only choice is 1x1 or FFA.

2) In all the games I've played, I've had just two with lag. It's up to the connection speed of whoever is the host. If someone has a crappy connection, and tries to host a game, it will drag down everyone else playing in that game. I also believe the game (since the underlying network code is 12 years old) will be affected by the slowest player. I'm not 100% sure on that, as I'm not a programmer, but that's how I believe it works.

yeah, I have had some annoying lag problems. Not too often but I've always had the best signal so I know it's not my fault

You know, every time I see that subject on a post, my first thought is.

"Yes. Yes you are!"
