Even in a very competitive situation like a duel? Can anyone share their experiences? Especially those of you that are really good.

Well, you might want to ask SPLAT because he's probably most used to playing competitive duel on high ping. On my personal experience with 150-200 ping, entering teleporters gets bit hard because you lose all your momentum because with the ping delay you often have time to fly through the teleporter brush and hit some solid brush below it.



Projectiles are always going to be delayed, so there's no other choice than to get used to the delay.



Hitscans however are client side detected, which means that they will hit if your crosshair was over your opponent's hitbox when you fired and then deal the damage after the ping delay. This means that the opponent could basically walk behind a wall and still get shot, so it might feel shitty to them - but for you it's pretty easy to hit since you don't need to lead the shot. You won't be getting free hits though, you still need to aim properly and then you get rewarded accordingly.100 ping is still pretty comfortable and seamless compared to 150-200 though. Majority of my comp duels have been with around 50-90 ping. Reply Well, you might want to ask SPLAT because he's probably most used to playing competitive duel on high ping.
