What average Ping do you normally play on?

I have wireless 4g to my house because I can’t get a wired connection and I’m more than a few miles from the tower. I get a fairly consistent connection at ~59ms pretty regularly. I always have the packet loss indicator flashing though.

I’m usually at 50-60. On a bad day I’m at 75+ but I am forced to play via WiFi instead of a ethernet connection

60 ms on West Coast Servers

90-100 ms if I get unlucky and put on East Coast

In the UK:

30-50 or so on EU servers
120-130 or so connecting to East Coast USA
150-180 when getting dunked on by Custa in his West Coast Mystery Heroes DM matches

I once grouped with a couple of Aussies, ping was 380, it was surreal to see Rein’s Fire Strike swing animation finish BEFORE the actual Fire Strike went out…

There are no east coast servers – only central. The only time east coast servers exist in Overwatch is when the load on their west / central datacenter is great enough to start spinning up Overwatch servers in their east coast datacenter.

Pretty consistent at 28 with small fluctuations.

I don’t know what my ping…

Gray-12411 · May 19, 2019, 10:45pm

How… How is that possible? Do u have a direct cable with the OW servers?

'The ping stat in game isn’t only your ping, They combined it with the other stats and so the Latency number is a lot higher than your actual ping.

Replacing Ping and RTT with Latency

Prior to patch 1.21, Overwatch maintained two estimates for your network quality: RTT and ping. Your RTT (round trip time) was measured as the time between sending a packet to the server and hearing a response, which included some application processing time on both ends. Calculating your ping, on the other hand, required us to timestamp every packet at the exact moment it was sent or received, something that became much more expensive after we patched for Meltdown & Spectre. Without these timestamps, your ping and your RTT are effectively the same value.

Rather than report a less accurate and less stable ping, we opted to merge the ping and RTT stats into the single Latency figure you now see in Advanced Performance Stats. You can expect this Latency number to be 10-20ms more than the ping value we previously displayed (higher if your system isn’t hitting 60FPS consistently). The difference between your old Ping and the new Latency figure is purely due to the missing timestamps, and has no effect on your gameplay. Latency measurement will also be more responsive to changes in network quality – your ping previously was averaged over 15 seconds, which made it hard to notice brief latency spikes. The new value is sampled over the last 3 seconds, and should do a better job of capturing brief hiccups in connectivity.

West Coast, I always have a consistent 54. Worst days 75
