Used to have no issues playing this game when it was 20-26ms ping, now for whatever reason im lucky if its below 50ms. Even recently upgraded my internet still no change. Read somewhere that 50-60ms was optimal but thats a joke, most my shots dont register and the packet loss symbol is constantly on my screen. Fix your servers already because the issue is not at my end.
Edit: Hard to adapt when the game doesn’t even register what im inputting most the time either. And im on ps4 so already at a disadvantage. Also it all gets worse if i try playing quick play so stuck with mystery heroes, no point even trying competitive.
Edit2: new cable improved graphics a touch yet still random hit regs and game does not even register half my input and no its not the cooldowns. Its a scam and a dirty one at that.
And here I play with friends in the US and having around 160ms all the time…
I have also been having issues with ping lately.
in ow2 i had between 40-50 ms and it was far from unplayable, even on heroes like tracer.
now i got 28-35 ping for some reason, so even better than before but i couldnt tell if i didnt have the ping visible. it seems just as before and i wouldnt say anything below 80-100 ms is problematic at all. ow always had a very solid netcode.
300 ping is playable you just have to adjust
ML7 cries in 130ms ping
I’m in Australia and ever since they released OW2 i’ve been getting put into other region servers because they didn’t increase capacity (supposedly). I get like 6x the ping I normally get and it is so unfun.
Especially unfun for me since for basically my whole life up until 2019 I had internet so bad it was basically non-existent… like basically anything that required internet was so slow it was unusable lol. I really don’t enjoy being put on bad servers
First world problems.
damn, and here i am playing at 100ms
I’m also in Australia and I’m getting 100+ no matter what.
Depending on the server I get put in I have from 41 to 151 ms myself. I feel like they added some eastern and western EU servers, cuz I used to have 71 all the time.
Yeah we are getting sent over to foreign servers nearby lol.
I used to always get 30 ping (and then for some reason it shifted to 40-50ms a while ago specifically for overwatch). Now with overwatch 2 if i’m not getting 40 I have anywhere between 120-200+. it really sucks, but they’ll do nothing though.
Tbf… ML7 is not a human being, he is a supernatural one.
It isnt. Literally favor of the shooter rolls back stuff even at 80ms. Beyond that point yes, its annoying but not unplayable.
Unplayable would be 120ms+ imho.
Packet loss and ping are two different things. You can have 10ms ping and 80% packet loss
Make sure overwatch is port forwarded and your nat type is open
Some days I have 28ms some days I have 80 for a game or two. Usually 90 is when it’s too much,
You can take advantage of high ping by playing flanker. You will have jumped on someone and been shooting them for a second before their computer even registers they are being hit.
Depends on what sort of “lag” it is.
If it’s your own internet that’s bad, if it’s your connection to a server, then it’s not that bad, barely even noticable. I got to GM on USA servers. with 110 ping (connection to USA servers, not my internet lagging)
If I get more than 25 ping on EU servers then my internet is actual lagging and it’s noticable, if I’m on another region with a high ping, barely noticeable unless it’s 150+ ping
Streamers also go on USA servers sometimes from EU and vice versa, so sound more like an internet issue if it’s really that bad.
It’s the hitreg, it’s broken. 40-50ms is perfectly fine, but the noregs are killing the game in key moments
i love the random, enemy flying with light speed out of the map, and then teleports back again. and im playing with really low ms. 20-50, but this random shait is killing me more than it help’s
I play with 80 ping on my home servers lmao. 50ms cant be that bad
