that is not how most of those things work. it's generally advantageous to have the higher ping in most systems

yes, that is repeated a lot by people making excuses for why they lost


as someone that play with both high and low ping I can tell you that having an actual low ping makes playing easier

I find it easier when playing on NA servers with a 150 ping than on EU with 20, maybe that's just because NA is in general bad at shoot men.

you do know like, ping and its effects are quantifiable, right? i don't play enough siege to weigh in on it here (so I didn't), but there are tons of games where a combination of ping and packet loss make you functionally invincible.

I thought it went both ways? it helps you in some areas and hurts you in others. In Siege where peaking is such a huge thing it can be extremely helpful, but if you're the recipient of a peak it makes it even worse for you. Good players mostly play around the strength but yeah personally I'd take lower ping if I could have the choice, and I play siege with both high and low regularly. There's a mental disconnect, that I at least personally get, with the delay high ping gives you, that makes it kind of annoying.

Which is funny, considering how often they seem to like shooting one another IRL. I would've thought that it's something you'd get better at, with practice :v:

Not sure if I've asked this in here already, but are there any AusGoons around, who want to R6 it up? Here I am on Steam, if so. (I'm also "MajorIsoor" on UPlay, minus quotes. drat no-space rules)

how do they work?
I like siege. Last night i ran into a team on casual who were so good (same clantag) they would wipe my team within seconds.

They then surrounded me with shields, flashbanged me and laughed as I ran in circles knifing and shotgunning furiously for the 2 minutes I couldn't see for, before shooting me when I got lucky and clipped one in the head.

(It was very funny)

They're taking DBNO away from defenders because they felt it imbalanced the multiplayer and provided an unfair advantage against the attackers*

*note: next season's operative will still have it

Along with Nitro Cell and a Shotgun, because we certainly don't have enough of those kinds of operators in the game. Please let their special ability/gadget render Rook completely useless so that the attackers are actually afraid to see a completely empty objective room, knowing that literally the entire team is roaming.

Accidentally broke a mute gadget while setting up a wall, guy got mad and wanted to kick me out - I mean I think that's his fault for putting that thing so close to an unreinforced wall but whatever - anyways, two rounds later I get into a situation where I'm alone against 5 enemies and by a complete stroke of luck take them all out in a few seconds. Guy sends me a friend request and a message saying "Amazing". Felt good!

Then the game crashed because of my huge ego most likely.

Same. I want that BOPE charm.

Skull Rain 4.1 has really bad netcode this time around; half the time I'm getting killed the killcam shows me 4 feet behind a wall when the death blow comes down. Overly compensated or something.
