When playing any type of multiplayer game over the internet, one of the most important factors and that They will allow us to win or lose the games is the ping. Many are the players who routinely complain that they have a high ping and that their character responds slower than usual.
By responding slower than usual, no matter how much we position ourselves to dodge our enemy's bullets, we will always end up losing, unless Let's learn how to take advantage of that ping and to play laged in order to defeat our enemies.
Apex Legends, Call of Duty: Warzone, PUBG, Fortnite or even League of Legends are some of the games where both ping and fps with fundamentals, although the latter depends to a greater extent on whether we have a monitor compatible with more Hz on the screen.
In this article we are going to focus on showing you how to show ping and fps in League of LegendsNot without first knowing that they are both things that players talk about so much.
What is ping
The ping in video games, which we could translate by latency, is the time that elapses, measured in milliseconds (ms), from when we press a button on our keyboard or console control until it is reflected on the screen.
By pressing any button, that information is transmitted to the company's servers, information that has to be sent as soon as possible offer a real gaming feel.
The smaller the ping, the time that elapses since we press a button on our keyboard or control knob will be faster. Ping is highly dependent on company servers, not always on the player's connection, although it can sometimes also play a role if you are not using a fiber optic connection.
All Electronics Arts multiplayer games, none are saved, they usually offer a fairly high ping, at least in Spain and in Latin America. FIFA or Apex Legends are some of the games where lag is usually more than usual when users are enjoying their games.
League of Legends, PUBG, Fortnite and Call of Duty: Warzone, invest more money in servers and these generally offer us a ping that usually does not exceed 40 msWhile in EA games the minimum ping is usually 60-80 on average.
If all players in the same game had the same ping, there would be no problem, since they would all be at the same disadvantage, however, in most cases, this does not usually happen, hence many users prefer a matchmaking based, first, on the ping followed by the skill of each player.
The ping that we can have on our internet connection is not the same, which measures the response speed of our server, than the ping that we can have in video games, since this is usually higher as it is generally found in other countries.
What are fps
The fps refers to the frames per second, to the images displayed per second. Most mobile phones and like most monitors have a refresh rate of 60 Hz, that is, they are capable of displaying 60 frames every second at most.
The higher the number of Hz on the screen, if the game is supported, the more frames will be displayed on the screen, which will translate into about Much smoother movements that will also affect the aim and skill of the players.
From my own experience, I can assure you that the change from a 60Hz to a 144Hz monitor is noticeable and very. Not only is it noticeable in the movement of the player, but it is also very noticeable in the precision we can have when aiming.
How to show Ping and FPS in League of Legends
What is the use of showing ping and fps in a game?
As I mentioned, both ping and fps in a multiplayer game are everything. If while playing League of Legends or any other title, you see how your character is making jumps, as if he teleported or that the character does not move with the usual fluidity or that you expected, it is a symptom that something is not working properly.
While it is true that we can use a XNUMXrd party app to measure both ping and number of frames per second that shows us any game, some, such as League of Legends allow us to access that information so that it is displayed at all times on the screen.
Show ping in League of Legends
In order for the ping we have on our connection to be shown on the screen, we must use the key combination Ctrl + F
Show FPS in League of Legends
The fastest and easiest method to display the number of frames per second while playing a game is by pressing the key combination Control + F.
How to lower the ping in League of Legends
Leaving aside the quality of the servers and ignoring the fact that we have fiber optics, if you want to reduce the ping of League of Legends, then we will show you a few tricks to get it.
Forget about the Wi-Fi connection
The Wi-Fi connection is not only slower than a traditional wired connection, but also has a higher latencyTherefore, as far as possible, it is always recommended to connect the computer to the router through the RJ-45 connection.
Use nearby servers
The further away the server to which we connect is, the greater number of pings we will have. It's advisable connect to the server that is closest to us. We will not have the same ping playing on any server in Europe as in one in the United States or China.
How to improve fps in League of Legends
In first or third person shooter, if we want to gain the maximum number of fps as long as our monitor allows it, we must keep all details to a minimum. The game will not look pixelated. Textures, shadows and others are not really necessary in a game of this type where response speed prevails.
If you have a 60Hz monitor, you will never be able to play at more than 60 fps. The next step goes through the 144 Hz monitors, monitors that we can find for about 200 euros in any store.
