Why do you notice in games such as Fortnite immediately the difference between a 10ms ping and a 100ms ping? The average response time of people is over 200ms, isn't it? You shouldn't even notice that
1.) Since both input and output are affected by the ping, the responsiveness is projected onto ping * 2.
2.) The mean response time… You can already see the problem?
3.) Yes, great… Regardless of point 1 + 2, there's still 2 ping plus reaction time = delay in the game. The ping remains relevant
(edit: if the optical signal appears on the screen 190 ms later, the input (e.g. Keyboard) will also be implemented 190 ms later with a constant response time, which in turn takes 190 ms longer to the server. A total of 380 ms later response between 200 ms and 10 ms ; or 180ms slower response at 100ms to 10ms).
Let's assume you are playing with / against two other people. The response time for all is 200 ms. Your game partners have a network latency of 10 ms, you 100 ms.
One of your playing partners takes an action. Let's set the time of the action of the first player as time 0.
First player action: 0 ms
Arrival of the action at the server: 5 ms
Arrival of the action at the second player: 10 ms
Arrival of the action with you: 50 ms
Second player reaction: 210 ms
Arrival of the reaction of the second player at the server: 215 ms
Response from you: 250 ms
Arrival of the reaction from you: 300 ms
Conclusion: Due to the longer running times, you can only react much later than your playing partner.
Yes, it depends on your Wi-Fi client or old router or on another team player.
Solutions:
-Use a different router
-Use a VPN with split tunneling (I bought PureVPN in 88% discount on Black Friday deal)
