For some heroes it's just their ultimate ability like Witchslayer's Graveyard. For others, it is other abilities like Nymphora's Volatile Pod. When I press the hotkey, whether it be QWER, my HoN freezes for a period of 1-5 seconds.
If I consistently press Q for let's say Nympora's Volatile Pod, but then cancel the effect then I will only freeze for about 1 second. If I don't press the Q key for maybe 1-2 minutes, I will freeze for about 5 seconds.
The interesting bit is that my character during this time will run back to the well as if I'm disconnecting.
I've had this issue before the patch it has just gotten worse recently. I also have no other issues while playing this game.
I've tried reinstalling too, but no such luck.
