    It’s like playing Age of Empires over dialup. One minute you’re happily building a little army and keeping your farms going. Then some asshole with cable internet comes along and faster than you can blink, your army is destroyed, villagers murdered, and your city burned to the ground.

    I regularly played with ping 100-150 and still managed to make it to the top 32 players

    Honestly, it depends on the netcode implementation.

    TF2 hitscan and projectiles work remarkably well even at 100+ ping.

    TF2 melee hit detection functions like a dice roll above 40 lol.

    It would be comparable if NASA scientists were racing against someone else controlling another vehicle over there with less ping.

    P.S. I’m not saying it isn’t challenging - it surely is, but it’s like connecting to your home computer over a shitty connection to play a single player game.
