Blizzard still hasn’t brought back NA East servers for over 7 months now, since around April. Ping has been at minimum 90, making competitive unplayable. What esports title doesn’t have servers in NA East? There’s no reason for them to do this other than greed. Blizzard, fix it <3.
I’ll try to explain. If you have above average aiming you’ll notice that you’ll perform even better with higher pings and since I main Ashe/Cole (tend to get the most kills even without the high latency) I actively avoid doing comp for two reasons: 1- It’s not fair on the other team since the compensation actually makes me hit even more headshots. 2 - t’s bad to get used to easy headshots later on.
Now, this might be a hitscans only thing and I believe any Meele and projectile will perform really bad with a ping above 50 or 60. While I’m alone it goes to 30, but I have friends in NA and play with them for the majority of the day so I kinda do it for them (sometimes I leave the group to play comp and then go back).
Just try not to punch anything bc they’ll receive the punch 2 seconds later xD.
