Constantly Experiencing 300+ Ping in Every Game – What’s the Fix?

-

I’m really struggling with high ping in every game I play, consistently over 330 ms. It’s not the game servers since I’m in Oceania and my friends playing in the same region report normal ping. My internet seems fine too; other online games work without a hitch, and speed tests show everything is running as it should. I’ve restarted my PC and internet multiple times, but nothing has improved. It’s particularly frustrating since I play Doomfist, and the lag makes it tough to compete. Has anyone else dealt with this issue? What can I do?

I’ve experienced this issue too! I play on console, and I’ve noticed delayed inputs and lag in Overwatch. All my other online games work just fine, but OW seems to be the problem child for me. Not sure why it acts up, though.

I had a similar problem earlier; it might have been some weird server routing affecting our region. I reset my router, and it worked out fine after that. So, definitely give your router a reset if you haven’t yet!

Weird! Glad to hear it’s not just me. My issue got sorted out too after resetting my router.
