Lag and the use of a warning.

Postby Moonkey » Mon Apr 02, 2012 6:40 am

As I've been seeing, people that hace 160 - 200+ ms experience lag, or if you've studied people are slower and they are being "rubberbanded" (teleported backwards). When your client detects a delay of packets being sent to a server it should display a message somewhere at the top left or right saying "LAG" or something similar so you can hide while lagging for an advatage over lag. For the sake of counting votes: A POLE♪☆! (Pun intended @kmaj)

Yea, but wouldn't you like a before-hand warning. Before everyone starts skipping.

I'd like to see that "LAG" thing appear on the right corner of the screen when there is some lag with the game. I can't keep that box open all the time you know, I need an open wide area to see all at once!

I would find this very useful, rather than adding content for AoS why not enhancing game-play for those mis-understood players?
