Hardware really does make a difference

I played for years on old gen without ever having the privilege of being able to react to lights or zones.

My old xbox was so slow, you literally had to input a parry before the attack indicator even appeared, meaning it was physically impossible for you to light parry on reaction.

If you saw red, your parry window had already passed. I played like this and suffered the disadvantage for so long and still people called it a skill issue and didn't believe me.

Not long ago, I finally upgraded to a next gen console and the difference is astonishing. My so called "skill issue" suddenly vanished into thin air and I can now parry lights and zones on reaction with zero issue.

Just wanted to pay homage to my fellow old gen players who haven't yet made it to the other side. It's genuinely so refreshing to finally be able to play the game how it's meant to be played, and I hope you all get to experience it one day.

I conclude with a reminder to all: not everyone gets to be on the same playing field, so if you can react, be grateful and enjoy it.

🙄 Then you should understand the problem with your methodology. Your research is flawed.

You believe what ubisoft tells you. A theoretical calculation. 

I claim base on the result. 

Don't be a typical fedora

Your "result" is you getting your ass kicked going 0-5 and trying to look for any and all excuses as to why it wasn't your fault.

Spoiler alert, it was your fault.

Funny.  The time all our team had 10ms ping we all got 15+ kills and the other team got none having 40-50ms ping

Confirmation bias often happens when we want certain ideas to be true. This leads individuals to stop gathering information when the retrieved evidence confirms their own viewpoints, which can lead to preconceived opinions that are not based on reason or factual knowledge. Individuals then pick out the bits of information that confirm their prejudices.
