Re: HIGH RANK PLAYERS, WHEN DID YOUR INPUT LAG PROBLEMS START?
Posted: 16 Oct 2026, 16:10
I wasn’t high rank but my input lag for good started in 2025- maybe I had it before but it wasnt so obvious. I remember how fast and responsive controller can be in warzone and now? Don’t even ask… tracking is impossible so I play Fortnite on iPad Pro m5 13” and it seems it’s good even with mobile input lag on controller and WiFi XDchipotlechicken wrote: ↑14 Oct 2026, 23:12Hello, I am looking to get some data regarding people who have had success (high rank) in the past.
Something like Immortal 3 or above in Valorant, Grandmasters in League of Legends, etc..
The data that I would like is the story of how your input lag started.
You might be like me, someone who hit Imm3 on an alienware 3060 shit PC during covid, with a ethernet cable you bought from best buy.
The game might have felt good enough to hit high rank, but you got greedy and kept looking for more. And as time passed you couldnt even hit your own peak anymore. And even more time passes with even more upgrades and changes, and now your system feels like absolute shite and is unplayable.
Whatever the case is, if you've hit high rank you can guarantee that something was working somewhat good. Like my system at the time was probably working at 90%.
Anyways if anybody has had success in competitive games in the past, and is now struggling with input lag/desync or anything of the sort, please leave your story of what happened.
Also try to remember the smallest details. Did you change your PC? Did you change a cable? An ISP? What are the events that happened as your game started to become unplayable. Or did time just pass and it just got worse over time with windows updates etc.
Let me know
