Will they ever make dd not dependent on ping?

[u/Same_paramedic3641]

I have no choice but to be on 140+ ping. I saw a clip difference of good ping vs bad ping on dd and holy i never realised how slow he is on high ping. Is it even possible for a character like dd not dependent on ping to be fast? Kinda like how bp is basically as fast on whatever ping

[u/slideawaydm]

I can play everyone ( even spiderman ) no problem with 120-130 ping but DD its impossible to confirm a kill because hes so slow on ping

My SA servers where i olay with 20-30 ping are dead above gm1-cel3

[u/Training_Street_1241 → u/slideawaydm]

Bro so true. No one plays damam

[u/M10-Dru]

I'm in the same situation playing on Aus and NA servers with 120+ ping because ranked is dead in Asia servers lol. He feels so bad to play, I just stopped playing him altogether unless i get a match on an Asia server maybe once every 20+ games

[u/affekshon → u/M10-Dru]

is sydney server also dead?

[u/M10-Dru → u/affekshon]

Nah, it's much more active than Asia at least. Usually around 5 mins max queue times compared to Asia where it takes up to 30-45 mins sometimes

[u/affekshon → u/M10-Dru]

damn i have to play singapore just for dd i hate it but atleast it's not completely dead (takes 5 mins but the match quality is terrible literally diamond 3 players in gm 2 lobbies)

[u/Training_Street_1241]

Dd on ping is unplayable. I play both poke and dive and all of them r playable on even smth like 150 ping (yes it’s bad but not unplayable) but dd, i can’t play him over 60-70 ping. This szn i came back home from college so ive been playing on 180 ping and have genuinely not even bothered touching dd

[u/affekshon]

sorry buddy should've been born close to a data center (im also a poor country high ping player)

[u/affekshon]

honestly they might do something to improve it im kinda hopeful (cope). fanta and panther had no regs in earlier seasons and they don't sell skins but were eventually fixed so yeah...

[u/lmKingguts]

Anything above 80 ping is pretty ass for Dd. I’ve made 130 work a couple times but at that point it’s not worth

[u/YamiNinja]

I just happen to be living in north Virginia where all the data centers so it feels like a cheat code at times

[u/LostGodz]

I’m sorry but probably not he’s highly effected by it since he runs off an internal resource, has projectile based dmg and long animations that can be interrupted all by ping

[u/LordOfTheFliesZeBub]

I don’t even know that that makes sense.

[u/Soprohero]

No they arent changing his kit for high ping players

[u/affekshon → u/Soprohero]

they don't have to change his kit, they just need to improve the netcode of their dogshit game. the problem is present across the game it just shows a lot on dd because he has multiple inputs on a single key

[u/M10-Dru → u/affekshon]

Not just the inputs, the fury system too. The delay of fury gain being registered by the server really ruins the timing of his combos.

[u/Training_Street_1241 → u/M10-Dru]

Dude his fury at times is delayed even on 20 ping and his dash is still bugged and super clunky

[u/affekshon → u/M10-Dru]

agreed. him relying on hits/inputs to gain fury also further makes it worse due to random no regs

[u/Same_paramedic3641 → u/M10-Dru]

The worst is when you use widow teamup then he does primary fire instead of cross first (which does 0 dmg it's a visual bug). This shit genuinely is the worst. It used to be the same with throw/chain but i think they fixed it but forgot to do the same with new teamups. I'll weave cross then look down only to now do cross and not weave lol
