You need far more data to even come to a conclusion, there are over 2 million playing mcsg daily, you have a tiny fraction of them, you need to make more research to make such a conclusion with so limited data. You cant make assumptions! Next time try to include factors such W/L ratio and KDR.
1. I understand this
2. KDR is later

It looks as if you plotted my part as 75ms at 148 wins, without taking into account my old account that has 468 wins. We could get into the detail of alt accounts but nobody else was doing that, I don't know if adding my total win count really would affect the data, I thought I'd just point it out.

Glad you did this, honestly whenever someone complains about ping I'm just going to link them this in the hopes that they'll silence themselves :p
No I added your wins I swear...

I really like the effort you've put in this, but you can't really link your amount of ping to your amount of wins. Your amount of wins is determined by how much you play and hw good you are at the game.

Anyhow, as this does looks really interesting please keep up the work as I'm still curious what the results are!
I know
This is to prove to people that good ping doesn't automaticly give wins.
So Wins=Skill

Now on to ratio..

Okay, I was just checking. Not too big of a deal c:

I just realize that there was another 75 ping with I believe 618 wins which was accurate. Good job, again!

Personally, I think this would be a lot more accurate if you had more data. But then again, this is an ongoing experiment :p

Many people don't recognize this, but ping hasn't exactly mattered the entire time MCSG has been around. The stupid sprint button made everyone be able to hit each other easily, so it came down to ping. Before that (which I obtained around 1000 of my wins or so) ping was overridden by whoever was better at double-tapping w, and I didn't even know what ping was on MCSG back then. I think this would have been a better test to do a little while after the leaderboard update, so that all the wins came after the sprint button.

Ping doesn't matter as much as you think
There's no difference between 0 and 50ms, but there is a diff between say 0 and 100, but barely...
There is no such thing as a "ping player" you can't be "all ping" as people like to say
Better ping gives you a better ability to get first hits, giving you a slight advantage in a combo
However worse ping makes you misplaced slightly, giving what appears to be better reach
They cancel each other out
Clicking speed + Skill> Ping

Coming from an actual scientific background, the findings are invalidated by your low sample size, this is like 30 people out of thousands, really a better analysis would be if you looked at the ping of the top 100 players
