As with most eSports games, your FPS matters in DOTA 2. Your Frames Per Second can alter DOTA 2's response rates and have an impact on the game's smoothness. In high-level games, it can be a small FPS difference that determines whether a creep is last-hit or denied.

So how do you check your FPS in DOTA 2?

Fortunately, DOTA 2 has its own FPS counter that can be turned on. Here’s how:

Step 1: Launch DOTA 2 and open Settings

The settings bar is located at the top left of the screen. It’s the small gear icon.

Click the gear to open Settings.

Step 2: Open Options

When you open Settings, the first thing you see is the Hot Keys tab.

We’re looking for the “Options” tab, which you can open by clicking Options near the top of the Settings menu.

Step 3: Open Advanced Options

In the Options tab, there isn’t any option that says show FPS.

Instead, the feature is hidden away in Advanced Options. Click “To Advanced Options” at the bottom of the Options tab.

This should open up even more Options.

Step 4: Turn on the FPS counter

While the Advanced Settings tab has lots of cool settings, we’re interested in the Miscellaneous column to our right.

Here, turn on “Display Network Information”.

This option shows you lots of useful things: Your ping, packet loss, and most importantly, your FPS counter.

And that’s it. With the setting on, DOTA 2 will show your FPS on the top right of your screen every time you’re in a match.

What is Lorem Ipsum?It's time for them to learn their place. Reina storms the King of Iron Fist Tournament in #TEKKEN8  Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.     Why do we use it?It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).Where does it come from?Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..", comes from a line in section 1.10.32.The standard chunk of Lorem Ipsum used since the 1500s is reproduced below for those interested. Sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 from "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" by Cicero are also reproduced in their exact original form, accompanied by English versions from the 1914 translation by H. Rackham.Where can I get some?There are many variations of passages of Lorem Ipsum available, but the majority have suffered alteration in some form, by injected humour, or randomised
