Ping, explained.

Like I had said in my original post, Killaura and such increase reach, thus they do exist. but the hack alone, just reach doesn't —that's what I'm trying to say.

It's codeable, but the most popular clients don't have them.
They exist, but they're not "common"

When I saw this video earlier today, I almost cried. No more being called a "ping abooser" I hope.

The 'ping zones' logic is flawed. Lower ping is always better- if you had 40ms and you sent the packet 20ms into a tick, the packet would arrive the next tick, whereas if you had 20ms it would arrive in the same tick.

Ca servers: PING ZONE 1 OMFG YES
Us servers: PING ZONE 3 rip

Edit: thinking about this now I think the ping zone theory is not true. Just look at a biboyqg video. I am just barely in ping zone 1 on the ca servers but that doesn't mean I would get the same hits or connection in general as someone with 10 or lower ping. Idk still confuses me and in my opinion ping is a big part of PvP.

Packets are actions, not measurements of time.
If you have 40ms ping, you have 40ms ping.
If you have 20ms ping, you have 20ms ping.
They're both the same.

You've misunderstood.

Very interesting.

Didn't Mooclan make a thread about this a while ago?

Either way, a video is easier to understand and such, so hurray! Good work!

I don't understand why people think that if a person with 20 ping trades hits with a 40 ping player, the 40 ping player will "obviously" die first. That doesn't really tick in my head. You're still clicking, right? You're going to be able to hit just as fast, but the initial hit will be delayed.
