While VPNs aren’t explicitly designed to improve ping, they can help in certain situations. 1. Rerouting Data : VPNs can lower ping by providing a more direct route between your device and the game server. If your ISP’s routing is inefficient, using a VPN could lower latency. However, this is not guaranteed, and in some cases, a VPN might even increase your ping due to the extra hop your data takes through the VPN server, plus the encryption and decryption of that data.
you have absolutely no idea idea of what you’re typing.
See, this is that deflection thing we warned you about months ago. Just becuase you don’t understand something doesn’t mean others don’t.
VPNs can improve ping sometimes. Simple as. Just because you don’t agree doesn’t make it false.
the voices are talking to you again?
you don’t even know what you’re arguing.
OP complained of latency issues. I said a VPN might help because of the reasons listed above.
If you want to try to intelligently refute that then by all means but, as it stands, you’re less than 48 hours into “being a nicer person” or whatever and are already picking a fight about something you don’t understand–much less even capable formulating a coherent opinion on.
This is why everyone told you not to bother since you’ll inevitably regress any efforts in short order lol
you have a very shallow understanding that involves copy and posting. vpn does not help your latency. not only that but people commonly get banned using vpns.
actually try to consider the impact of your words when you give false information.
Nah, you’re just fried lol.
Dawg seratox is 100% correct
don’t enable him.
Its like many people said in his public apology thread.
Most data is encrypted anyway, this isn’t 1995.
i’m out.
@OP def play a caster or healer. playing melee will be the hardest with high ping.
Are we sure about that though?

Have played on a VPN for like 6 years. No bans.
I get like 280-300 without, 160-180 with.
good for you i guess.
yup and bad for people who talk nonsense on subjects they know nothing about 
oh i definitely agree with that. you just have a magical VPN that defies laws of physics.
potentially yes
it can’t increase the propagation speed of electromagnetic waves, which is obviously what you’re implying. but if your traceroute is inefficient you can see improvements
it’s like you need to drive 10 miles to the baseball stadium. if your default route is through a bunch of stoplights, you’ll probably notice an improvement taking the freeway (even if your top speed can’t exceed 60mph)

too bad this is never the case.
but the number one most important thing that clearly no one has considered is how fast light can travel in a fiber optical cable, assuming he has fiber and most likely he does, 200-300 ms is probably the lowest you’re going to have playing from asia (depending on where you are) on US servers, or vise versa.
but clearly no one really understands what they’re saying and might have read some gaming vpn ad somewhere.
