High ping advantage

[JmZ-x-]

Why do people with high ping get such a large advantage in engagements?
It should not be that way, sure, I get that the server gives some compensation but with the game in this state - it is BETTER to have high ping and that makes no sense to anyone.
Either cut the compensation they get significantly - because it isn't our problem they have trash internet - or just put all high ping people together, anyone 30+ can be together, anyone <30 can play together. Sorted.
Get it done

High ping is not an advantage, raise your ping if you think it is

Ironically, in this game the higher ping player does receive better results in head to head gunfights. I had a really hard time with that concept being an old fart where the lower ping usually won the gunfight. MOHAA Forever..lol

It does give people an advantage - in engagements, your input goes to the server and then to the other player.
When a person has high ping, the server compensates for that to "balance" and this gives the person high ping an advantage due to the compensation - at this stage, it is unbalanced. Similarly to what happened with Hunt:Showdown.

When in reality, higher ping should never be any form of advantage in a competitive game -which is why people buy tech to lower their ping, refresh rates etc.

I would even be satisfied with a filter option so that people with 30+ ping can't be in the same lobby as me and I am sure other players would be happy for this option as well.
Filter out all the high ping people together.
Anything lower than 50 is okay, anything lower than 30 is good. Anything lower than that is excellent.
But anyone over 50 should be left to play with other people with 50+

There’s no advantage to having high ping. If you have 40 ping and they have a 140 ping you have the peakers advantage. If the high ping play rounds a corner you’re going to have a 100ms advantage.

You can argue they skip around the map which makes it harder to kill them. Which is true, but from their perspective everyone they kill is skipping around the same amount. So it’s not like they’re killing players normally while you have to deal with them skipping around. So while you’re dealing with a single player skipping they’re dealing with everyone skipping.

It's really not an advantage. I play on starlink - most times my ping is decent but when it fluctuates to 100 or more I'm pretty much dead before I can even get a shot off.

This is just not true. I live in Alaska, I know what having high ping feels like pretty damn well. When i get into a match at 120 ping it is much harder

The ping can be different every match so there is not really a point to that.

My avg ping 60-80, ppl'm vs me is 10-20. What kind of advantage you'll talking 'bout? I've gotten killed so many times because the server is slowly responding for my pockets, but enemy does faster, so fisrt three-five bullets is not registred on killcam. :c
