So I’m part of a competitive overwatch team, I have internet speed that works and is pretty good, but my network latency is pretty bad (side question, is pink and latency the same thing? What’s the difference, there is an option to show latency on overwatch settings but not ping). It’s around 150-250ms, and sometimes on good times it will lower to 80, but at bad times (which is a lot more frequent than good) it goes a little below 500ms. Overwatch is the only program open besides discord. I’m signed up for esports so that’s not going to cut it! I’ve looked into any way I can to lower it, I bought a powerline adapter and I have wired internet, I’m also connected to wireless. Websites are telling me to turn off my firewall, is that safe? Could I just turn it off during competitions? Is there any way I could lower my latency? My router isn’t too old, about 5 years and my internet provider provided it, I have bridge max (its the only option in my area).
