So here's the thing with good ping. The thing that judges whether good ping is good is how low or how FAST your ping is. For instance People with good ping would likely have 50- less People with "bad" ping would probably be 150+. BUT, bad ping isn't necessarily bad, the reason why is because! (Listing facts for good ping and bad)
Good Ping Facts:
-Good ping means that things go faster making it harder to aim. (in a way.)
-Hit boxes Move much faster when you have Great Ping
- You will appear in a different location for different players if you have good ping. (and if they have bad ping)

"Bad" Ping:
-Hit boxes are much slower and easier to hit, hence why if you have slightly worse ping than someone else you can still hit as well as they can.
- Its easier to aim at players with a bow when you have somewhat higher ping, as it is easier to shoot with delay.
-Player models will stay in certain positions for longer periods of time, making it easier to get combos.
The End.
PS: This is all from my experience in playing on servers and transitioning from one to another. I wanted to go more in-depth about double hits but I sadly have no good info to back me up with that part, as someone could just have a certain FOV.

Pls no hate if I'm a little off in some areas
Peace <#

Ping doesn't influence your how you play/your skill. This thread is suppose to be explaining why bad ping could be better than good ping. Of course with the exception that you getting something ridiculous like 250ms+

100ms is not better than 10ms when you're fighting

the lower your ms the less your KB the better your hits

I know were you coming from, but that is wrong. With 100ms you will take less KB than someone with 10ms.
The reason why is because with 10ms everything happens almost instantly, with 100ms it takes a longer time for hits to register. The reason why is because, when you hit someone the KB does not happen in simultaneous, the kb happens a couple ms after the hit.

Incase you want the math:
10ms = 0.01 seconds
100ms = 0.1 second
