Curious: at what ping do you guys lobby dodge as a survivor?

For me, personally, I usually bail at about 200. I might stay if it is very stable, but any higher, and particularly if it's unstable? I'll find someone else to hit me with a stick, thank you. No need for the stick to teleport.

    I'm a killer but i see ppl hit the ready button with 1,000 ping. Those kind of ppl make me nervous as ****.

    I dodge at 200+ ping 100% of the time. I dodge 150-200 ping half the time. I almost never dodge under that.

    150 ping is where I'm ready but really anything over 175 ish and it's not fair to me or the killer or anyone else. As @Beaburd said I see high pings all the time as killer and I give them time before I dodge.

    it has to be at a steady 130 or below maybe 140 if i am feeling generous but its not my internet its the killers so if its bad i just leave. if i dont then i bring no items or offerings in case its so bad that i just DC im not dealing with not being able to jump through a window or throw down a pallet but i play on Xbox so.

    Anything over 90 ping I leave, but it's not frequent

    I always dodge if there is Red ping. I always wait 20 seconds before I ready up because if the ping fluctuates within those 20 seconds im not taking the chance. I have no problem dying due to my stupid mistakes but lag that’s a whole other issue. I also don’t like teleporting.

    Up to 250. Because I play late night hours, I don't often see green ping. I usually have to accept mid to high yellow. Once I dodge a few red ping lobbies in a row, that's my "time to play something else" alarm.

    300-325 ping honestly, like it's not even that bad for me, tbh. But above and it's f***ed.

    Anything red (300+) for more than 15 seconds I will leave for another game. Yellow ping is usually playable but can be annoying.

    One time got into a lobby and the killer had like 1200ms ping LOL. Nope, not gonna play that one.

    Above 175 is usually when I bounce, but I prefer lobbies under 150.

    Typically at 170+, at that point I’m digging my own grave

    150+

  • No_Mither_No_Problem

    150+ if playing on PC. 130+ if playing on console.

    190+ when with normal friends. (We live in different areas, so if someone is over 220 we'll usually dodge.)

    435+ with AUS friends leading the lobby searches.

    I also dodge when the ping can't stay stable.

    Unstable ping is insta dodge.
    In a SWF with random people, 270 ping is the max I tolerate.
    On my own, 120 ping is the max. If it is very stable, I might stay up to a 170.

  • pauloandrade22

    200 stable. Above i warn in chat "number of ms" ping and leave.

    175 and above, but if I am looking for a lobby with decent ping for more than 10 minutes I will also accept the range between 175 and 190. 

    Also I give the ping the first 20 seconds to be consistent, if I see to much of a fluctuation I’m out.

    Over 150, usually.
    Another factor is how bad the ping fluctuate. If it keeps jumping from 80 to 200 every 5-10 seconds then the game is gonna be horrible.

    If it's stable, 150. If not, 100.

    200 unless it spikes a lot

  • franticpig29
    franticpig29 Member Posts: 102

    Almost anything over 250 ping ######### up dead hard for me.

    Unless the ping goes into the 300's I don't care. A solid ping of 250 is more manageable than one that spikes up and down.

    If it's stable, 150. If not, 100.

    Thats the way i do it

  • Kevvie

    On PS4, I'll stick with it if it is a solid 175 or below, if its above 150 and fluctuates I'm out.

    I don't mind anything in the yellow so as long as it's not constantly fluctuating.

    If I'm solo, I aim for green, so below 100. With friends, I try for 200 or lower, but will go higher if we can't get anything lower. I did a match before where the ping was 300 before. I try to keep an eye out for weird spikes or fast timers, too.

    Honestly I don't really dodge lobbies unless I am with friends who dislike the ping.
