I hover around 25-35 ping, although some games it randomly goes over 400 or 500. At that point it's just too much for me, that's like half a second of lag. Too much for my liking, but I honestly enjoy the game whether I lag or not.


I make sigs, PM me if you want one :D (Thanks for the Nidalee sig, The_Nameless_Bard!)

The reason you can deal with anything under 100 ping is because natural human reaction time is 1s, or 100ms. Anything under 100 ping is good because your reaction takes as long as the latency anyway. Anything over 100 and you have actual delay. This delay can get you from alive to dead, and you have no ability to change that

I play on 120 almost all the time and don't notice any difficulties

People complaining about their pings are just using it as a scapegoat really

1 second is 1,000 ms actually.

Just wanted to point out :p

I play with 190 roughly, and was playing with 27,000 last night. Ping doesn't matter, I still went 4/10/8 as AP Trynd with 20,000.

Ping does not = skill.

Its not whether ping = skill or not, its whether it effects reaction times enough to make your skill, or timing, matter or not.

Honestly, for me, anything over 180 is bad, its not that its not playable, but that one last skill that I thought should land to win a fight, doesn't, and ends in my death. A prime example of this is Garen and his ultimate especially since there is already a .5 channel time that is often seen as a "delay".

Also, we as humans are capable of adjusting, however we are often very stubborn and against change. Once you get used to a certain ping level in a game, even if its high, you are okay with it. However when you start raising that ping we often don't have sufficient time to adjust to it, and complain that it is "unplayable".
