Yea, well I have ladder delay, like a second, but i've grown used to it. As much as I would like instant response, we can't all have perfect internet huh? I live in New Zealand and I play on Europe server (probably explains my delay D. Things I do to make my internet run better is to turn off all internet related programs open, also I find if I turn off the sound and music in-game it goes faster Oo. Eventually if you stay with this minor delay, your actions during the game will get used to the idea, however you must be alert to perform your actions at the correct time. As for the Delay reducer, I have no idea if that would work, if it were my choice, i'd work with what I had.
