I've never seen latency fix lag. It will smooth it out if there are spikes, but how often do you have continual lag spikes?


You've obviously never played someone on the other side of the world with a bad connection


Have you ever encountered a lagger that latency fixed anything? I haven't, in about 6 years of playing.

I can honestly say that I have. My lag on iCCup is fucking abysmal, and it WILL spike if I leave it on Low latency. If I set it to Extra High, it won't spike but there will be ~1 second delays on everything I do. You've probably never experienced that because you're in Canada.

Playing on EHL is unplayable IMO, reactive micro is basically impossible. I don't know how you can, unless it's just what you're used to.

I no longer play on iCCup due to it ;_;
Hamachi EHL is definitely different though, that's playable lag (even if it's still like 500ms).

This latency thing really bugs me alot. It takes muta opening out of the question for all zerg players if you want to use them to their full potential. When I open with muta on bnet/iccup my thoughts are something along the lines of "heh, 3 cannons ( or 3/4 turrets ), i can micro that with 8 muta- oh fuck why arent you going back and forth when i tell you t- aaaaahhhhh 4 mutas are dead"

It is really horrible and heart breaking because my mutas are my babies.
Alpha and Omega.

Why do people then put it on extra high?


I've rarely had perfect timing games, seems so smooth and professional like I'm actually playing like a pro.

Playing on extra high latency is obviously not as bad as playing with massive lag spikes. When a game starts and if you can feel lag, people leave right away. However, if you set it to extra high and fix the lag, people stay, meaning they would rather play with no lag spikes. There are those few games where someone is ignorant and keep setting it to extra low. I play lots of games where the latency is set to low and the lag is so bad you can seem like a pro with only 25 apm... This is the kind of lag where the game starts and when you send your 4 workers to minerals it will take 5 seconds to reach them letting you make a perfect split lol. Setting the latency to extra high will make the game smooth, but it would basically be pointless trying to micro.

I'd rather play a laggy game than a high latency one. It's totally impossible to micro when you're not used to the latency.
Even a broken clock is right twice a day
