Default Need help with my Ping

I dunno if this is the correct forum. Please move if necessary.

Now, I have a excessively high ping, it hovers around 225-350, and it just ruins the experience for other players. My download speed is around 1.2 to 2 mbps. So, is there any way I can lower my ping or any particular server I should use?

And the BlooMoon 1DM Server now decreased its max ping from 350 to 250 and I can't play my fav server for more than 30 secs. And all the other high ping server are always empty.

In which area do you reside? Have you tried any servers close to your location?

I am from India. So, I get better results on servers based in EU. But, I still have to face the occasional ping kick.

I also wanted to ask whether a high ping can make or break a career in competitive Altitude...

You'll certainly raise some eyebrows if you decide to be a bomb runner xD

There is a player in KLF called TwistedDuck, he is from India but doesnt lag massively because he has a stable connection, stability is way more important.

So no, there is no reasoning to say that you can't succeed in competitive play.

I gotta point out that TwistedDuck has 2 different Internet connections. 1 for gaming and the other for browsing **** on the web.

ive had 250+ ping my whole altitude life, ive learnt to just go with it and man up

but seriously, having a high ping wont ruin your competitive altitude career, the only part of my "career" ruined is eu ladder.

I guess I will just deal with it then. Plus, I think shooting round corners help a lot...

Just as a point of clarity: ping is mostly unrelated to how fast your connection is. Throughput (commonly called bandwidth) is how much data you can push/pull at a time. ping is how long it takes to get to the other end of the pipeline.
The further away the server, the worse your ping, unfortunately.
