    But I'd say it's mostly the stable FPS at 60 (which actually matters a lot, not saying PS4 pro can't reach it.) or higher, which can allow pc players to reach a higher ceiling, or things like a 144hz monitor, which is actually a pretty substantial difference in terms of reaction timing and inputs. Better fps responds better to inputs, being able to actually reach and see that fps lets you respond faster, and let's the inputs go in faster, due to severely low keyboard to monitor latency and such.

    This is mostly what I had learned, but from what I could tell, it really is substantiated in truth. I learned this a while ago, but it's a fact.

    And just to be perfectly clear: There are really good ps4 raiders. I don't think ANYONE can deny that, since they clearly exist. But I personally believe they cannot reach world first unless they live next to the servers w/ really good internet. Ping enhancers, system optimizers... that kind of stuff. Configuring, optimizing and bettering tcp connections and routes is what prob gives PC the biggest advantage. We all know that, the lower your ping, the better you can perform. 'Course that doesn't mean you will perform better.

    But really. Theres no real point to this thread anymore after whats already been said and done as I see it, it's all done and dry, theres nothing left to discuss, the only thing thats left to discuss is whether or not people are in denial that PC players actually generally have an advantage due to hardware and software. But you can't argue it; its a fact.

    What you can argue though is that if that actually makes you a good player or not... But that sounds pointless to me.







    I'm gonna go out on a limb here, but mates. I think they're talking about ping enhancers.
    I’m not sure what that is

    A ping enhancer? A ping enhancer is something that optimizes the tcp connection routes to whatever server you want to connect to.

    To my understanding, it's like a vpn. It takes a specific route that lets you connect to the server easier and better via lessing the amount of "hops" of data that transfer from each route, thus lowering your ping and allowing a smoother experience.

    I think a good example is like, instead of your data and inputs hopping 10 times to get to the server, it only hopes 4 times, thus allowing a cleaner gameplay experience. That being said, distance travelled is still a majority factor in how ping works, and thus even if you live on the east coast, the only way to further lessen your ping would be to get better internet after you use a ping enhancer.
