For some reason in the past 5 days i always have 180 to 200 ping without having any network problems while in other games i get 30 ping max!
Is there anything i can do to fix that? I literally can’t play the game
Where do you live? What region do you connect to on your launcher? When you are in game, and you press alt+x to open your netgraph, what is the alphanumeric code that appears in the top left corner? It will be something like ord1 or gue1 or some other combination (press alt+X again to get rid of the netgraph)?
I used to play league of ledgens around 400 ping.
You relise 200 ping is around .2 seconds. So going from 200 ping to 50 ping is .15 seconds difference.
If .15 seconds is making the game unplayable i dont know what to tell you.
I live in europe and i have the right region in the launcher before i open the game. As of for the netgraph it doesn’t seem to appear and i really don’t know how is that affecting my ping… It just happened suddenly and only in overwatch while other games are normal
This makes a noticeable difference when the game has such a harsh “Favor the shooter” topology. I sometimes get 130ms ping depending on the party and it is very apparent how different the kill cam can look or how something didn’t register properly. This is especially true with shields.

I mean, that great for you that you got used to playing at 400ms, but I play OW at around 40ms usually and I notice a difference when it connects me to LAX at just 90ms, playable still but noticeable an annoying, but the game is literally unplayable at 200+ ms. Like no idea how anyone could actually play at thst high a ping.
Im not saying there isnt a difference, but 50 compared to 200 isnt “unplayable”
Unplayable I would say is 300+ and even then you can still play on 300 its just gonna be noticable, not unplayable
Fair point on unplayable although if it’s the difference between dying or not, that makes a big difference in this kind of game unfortunately and it’s already easy enough to get burst damage done to you.
Fair, Im also talking about average games/player, its a different story as you climb higher in rank where every millisecond can and does count
