High Ping Is A Advantage?

I see some people are saying that high ping is an advantage. I always thought lower ping was an advantage. Which one is true? I am genuinely curious...

It is and it isn’t , I tested it out and you can see people before they see u

it's ridiculous

both, high ping favours swinging and low ping favours holding angles

LOL HAHAHAHAHAH

LOL

are they delusional=

Stupid argument. Organizations run away from high pings servers. let's assume it's an advantage then how come no other team can cash it? SMB is Aim diff, give them a better ping they will be much better, have not you seen tenz on LANS in Iceland?

Average Gambot fan:

between 80 ping and 20 ping there is like 60ms diffrence but that diffrence is gona feel you like you shoting to space if you are on 80 ping.
While low ping player doesnt even notice 60 ms diffrence of peakers adventage...

Low ping is a 100% better but a player that constantly plays on high ping would generally perform better at LAN and low ping matches than an avg low ping player ( due to how accustomed they're on holding angles even at high ping )

high ping means, you can take peeker's advantage, hence the one who peeks will see the enemy first rather than the enemy who is holding the angle seeing him, but still you need to have good pre-aim too to do that !!

low ping see you faster so it's disadvantage

u cant believe this thing mate, high ping is disadvantage ofcourse. If u play so many FPS game u know this

High ping is in general a disadvantage , that is undeniable . You have more delay to everything compared to a lower ping player , have worse hit registry etc. But when peeking , high ping causes worse peeker's advantage for both parties , the peeker and the one who is being peeked. So if the peeker has high ping , then that peeker will have more peeker's advantage on a person who the high ping player is peeking. This compared to someone with lower ping than the high ping player peeking the same person , will cause less peeker's advantage. Basically the higher your ping , the more peeker's advantage you have.

---- PEEKER'S ADVANTAGE ----
How do you measure it?
It's <ENEMY'S CLIENT FRAMERATE> + <ENEMY'S 1-WAY NETWORK LAG> + <SERVER FRAMERATE> + <YOUR 1-WAY NETWORK LAG> + <NETWORK INTERP DELAY>
Some of the values are constant:
NETWORK INTERP DELAY = 7.8125ms (this is "buffering" to smooth out enemy player positions on your screen. It is tuneable with the "Network Buffering" setting in the options menu, if you have poor internet or bandwidth)
SERVER FRAMERATE = 7.8125ms (1/128th of a second, 128-tick servers)
Others are not:
1-WAY NETWORK LAG is based on game server locations, your (and your opponents) geographic locations, and Riot Direct routing paths. We are targeting <17.5ms for 70% of the player population. Closed beta is a time for testing and improvement, and we are on our way to hitting this target.
YOUR CLIENT FRAMERATE is based on how fast your computer runs; we are trying to optimize framerate as much as we are able to on our side, as a dev team.
The **sum of all the above values** is a player's advantage when rolling to you from an angle. It is the amount of time that a player sees you, without you seeing them.

Hence yes a high ping player (depending on how high the ping is) has an advantage on a player when peeking and it becomes worse with higher ping. But in general though a high ping is still a disadvantage overall , due to other reasons along with the fact that the high ping player will suffer from the same kind of worse peeker's advantage even when the low ping player is swinging .

Low latency is near always superior, as your player actions get to the game server faster than your opponents' actions.

The only tricky bit with a high ping player is that it does cause worse peeker's advantage, for everyone. But you as a low-ping player have just as much peek advantage on your high-ping opponent as they have against you.
