for one ping honestly gets so many hits its unbelievable, proof being I got new internet and just won like 5 games in a row due to the op hits.
Getting faster internet will not make make your connection better (unless your original connection was less than 1mbps download or something ridiculously slow).

Exactly, the ping is the latency in ms from your house to the server.
People can have high ping even with a really good download/upload.

i like you


That was likely the placebo effect, as ping actually has very little effect on gameplay.
You were probably just having a good day :p

Also, I might add that the MCGamer servers are already fairly centralized in the US. The last time I checked, they were located in Phoenix, AZ. This greatly benefits players in the area, which is great. For players living on the east coast, they have the ability to connect to the CA servers if they wish. Good ping for everyone!

Keep in mind that switching locations of the servers would be quite a hassle as well. Not only would it be expensive, but there's a chance that the physical servers could be damaged. On top of that, the datacenter that MCGamer currently uses is widely used by several different services, and is very trustworthy. It's not worth it cost-wise to change the location of the server.

Another thing, you should be lucky that you even get under 200 ping. What about all of the Asian players? They had their servers removed due to funding issues, and there's still a decent amount of them that play (to my knowledge).

Lastly, the players that already get decent ping would complain that the servers were moved further away from them. It's favoring one side of the community and not the other, so I don't think it would be a very efficient decision.
however I coincidentally started winning 7/10 games consistently getting me all the way up to 55 wins and then a few bad days and I now have 60 wins

Once again, it was probably the placebo affect.
You think your ping will help you, and so it does.
The human brain is strange.

Ping is a very delicate topic on MC/MCSG and other games as well. Basically ping abusers are annoying, like most "Cheaters" they can be pretty hard to beat but they are obviously killable in non melee fights. I think if you are annoyed by them, practice bowing and make sure that you have a lot of arrows as your priority and just bow spam them :3

funny you should mention the bow, I am primarily a bow fighter, and everyone that bow fights me knows I'm really good and I use my secondary's more than anyone else in the world.

Life is not fair, deal with it.
If you want to get a better ping you should probably invest into a better internet connection. But having a better ping does not make you a better player.
You can still win a lot games even if you have over 100ms. You just need to adapt to it.

Your post was uncalled for because you blew up on somebody who was making a joke. Need I remind you that all in all, this is still just a game, no reason to be upset. I'm not going to continue with this conversation, go on and say your piece.
