I don't think it does. Maybe a little bit but nothing too serious. If a person got a reaction time of 150-250 then it's fine, maybe the problems arise after that

200ms but I'm gold, see it doesn't matter. You were 190 but still managed to get immo 2. There are many things in consideration that makes an amazing player

As long as it's below 190ms it doesn't make a lot of difference.

190 ms is very common for people who has been playing fps games for a long time. If you ask if it matters then I assume you are asking in the context of going pro or be a radiant player(as high as you can go as a normie) right? Then around 190ms is very common at those ranks.

dont think it plays a massive factor, unless someone has an insanely good or really shit reaction time it wont play a big role. 190ms here but silver - you could have crazy good reaction time but the shittest aim ever or bad reaction time and still make up for it with insane aim.

Depends on your refresh rate too. Are you at 144hz or 240hz?

doesnt matter, the top pro in CSGO has 'time to kill' of 0.3-0.5s or so.
