LOW PING VS HIGH PING | What's Better?

Hey everyone! Today I'm going to be talking about the advantages and disadvantages of having a low and high ping! When I first started my channel I lived in the east coast and had 40 ms, and now I have over double that, so I can comfortably explain the differences in playstyle you face going from a lower to a higher ping, which is how I got the idea for this video! Hope you all enjoy!

I play with 110ms, what do you guys play with?

[cali]

Intel: High ping is 150ms

Me: *laughs in australian*

[WomanSlayer]

me: *hits opponent*
opponent: continues moving forward, causing me to lose track of him, then gets randomly pushed to the side 5 years after I first hit him

**cries in asian*


I have 300-350 ms consistently when playing on any server.

[submrfruitloot]

what ppl think lag is: delayed hits, lag backs etc.


me: I lAgGeD aNd FelL iN tHe VoId

[flex]

low ping: first hit, more aim, aggression, advantages over high ping players, register first

high ping: everybody gangsta till i become a rock and take no kb and have millions of double hits

[LiamHighducheck]

I have one thing that completely destroys any argument for high ping being good, rod.

[nitai]

worst part of high ping is when you see the particles but it doesnt register as a hit and its just so frustrating

[ryanwhiteside]

but there are things that become much harder/impossible with high ping, like deflecting fireballs, blocking people off with blocks on a bridge (they can just run through and delete your blocks before they're placed) etc.

[HazFrostYT]

In my personal opinion I would say overall high ping is TECHNICALLY a disadvantage.
Projectiles and such that need to reach the server are obviously a disadvantage for high pingers.
And at the end of the day, what people don't realize is your hits are ALSO delayed, it causes the exact same knockback delay effect on your opponent, it just takes longer to register on the server. However this is better than a registered hit kb delay as it doesn't visually confuse you and your tracking, but it can still completely throw you off and even cause you to vanish through your opponent multiple times, while a registered kb delay offers the benefit of the first hit.

So high ping overall becomes a disadvantage, since you will never win trades if they are equal in hits, and objects that require to reach the server first are broken.
(projectiles, blocks)

I got a noti just now "40 seconds ago" and then I see it was uploaded 8 hours ago..

overall lower ping is better, i’ve tested both pretty extensively and with higher ping its easier to get more hits but with lower ping its easier to do quite literally everything else better

ofc this is also very dependent on what server you’re playing on some servers are really good for laggy players and some are really bad

p.s i’m only talking about pot not build or bow or anything else

As someone who has had constant single digit (6-7ms) to both Hypixel and Mineplex and about 30ms to lunar, you nailed the advantages and disadvantages that high and low ping. One thing I would like to touch on for people reading comments is the how I approach different fights.
Since im a "pinger", Eli's definitely right that I can play more aggressive and focus more on aim and click speed versus my block placement or projectiles, but now on Hypixel where I can't see everybodys, i have to get in like a solid 3 hits before I know if a person is lagging or not. With low ping I am relatively expecting very instant hit detection and my main just got banned on Hypixel because my hits stacked on someone who was lagging and Watchdog thought I was butterflying or something.
When I've been places where I've played with higher ping or played on EU servers, I played way passively going into fights very focused on aim knowing my kb would be delayed but also being ready if im fighting someone with better ms knowing they would attempt to strafe more.

A lot people say MC pvp is a ping reliant game but it is true you can outplay certain opponents no matter their or your ping by having good mechanics and game sense. That's why I'm glad Eli's final statement about which ping is better was not definite. I know there are people with high ping better than me but if I can get first hit combos on them I'm sure as hell gonna go for it.

I play with 60-80ms Eu servers and 140-160ms on us servers. You nailed the advantages and disadvantages of both high and low ms.

[Wokzein]

my ping is 137ms and i always take a massive amount of kb and everyone always takes no kb



update: i just got 10 blocks of kb in 1 hit wtf help

[spokes]

as an au player with having a consistent 220+ ms hit stacking is a huge deal to me but combo locks are so broken with large ping differences cause server side im 2 blocks away but on my screen if im combo locked im at least 4-5 blocks away. honestly playing servers like mmc with their hit reg is really nice cause my kb and other players kb feels smooth even if they're lagging harder than me but a huge difference with 200+ ms is the potting when you are in the 1st or second packet you can easily pot on any servers but servers like lunar now (after the kb and pot speed changes ) i just cant play them cause theres such a small window for me to pot correctly whereas with low ping it would be easy . anyways good video as always

[Potactical]

People walk through blocks when you have high ping

[mrt_luigi]

Low ping: first hit, more aim, aggression, advantages over high ping players, register first
High ping: haha easy+funny combo

[clapy]

I wish to know if the absolute best player would have 10ms, 100ms, 200ms, etc.


Which ping would allow someone to become literally the best at sword-swinging combat? I do not care about projectiles or blocks or terrain. In other words, if someone was mechanically perfect, would they be stronger with high ping or low ping?

[threety-three]

The problem I always have is when I try start a combo against a low ping player, I can never get the first hit and when I do, I just walk past them because the KB is delayed.
