Ping Masking?

[ɮʟօօɖђคฬк.]

So, When I was in a "Saxton Hale | EU", I notice there was a player who had >= 290 Ping and more, But I noticed he could easily kill people and move around there was no lag at all. Is this kind of method actually allowed? @.@

my ping when using my home wifi is 600+. as long as it stays bellow 750, i have no lag at all. so im sure he wasnt "masking" but just haveing the same issue as i do.

Hmm... Okay Then, Guess Maybe It's An Error on My End... Thanks! ^^

im just saying from experience, up to admins if they want to do anything. but its why i go on skial, so i dont get instantly banned for a high ping.

He was probably from the usa, i had a player with 230 ms ping and was jumping all over the place most likely update/rate adjusting so he is harder to hit but could shoot others perfectly well and another 260ms playing just fine. Odly after kicking the jumpy one for excessive player lag he did not return. (by lag i mean you see him infront of you second later he is at the side then back before you had time to go OH DAM turn to get him)

I've had both this and the opposite, having 20 something ping and not even being able to play due to teleporting and players running in the same spot while I've had ping of 300+ and had little to no lag at all so I don't feel like they were doing anything to mask it.

When I played saxton EU I had about 200-220 ish ping with no lag what so ever. Iv never masked let alone know how too. Everyone's different. Like Baze said, iv seen people with very low ping and still lag the fuck out. Ping is not really a useful way to determine lagging players or not.
