Is PVP in minecraft based a lot on connection??

[Sean]

I do have optine it increased my FPS from around 20 to 30/40.
Thank god fiber broadband is comming to my area in december 2014 lol ill have 120 up and 70 down then xD

Yeah as i said i might have bad connection but also im only a averge player. just to give you guys an idea of how bad it is just look at this

Well, I'm not sure if this works, but some people have said that if you complain to your internet provider about your connection, and then say "I'm paying for ___ speed internet!" And actually are, they're supposed to fix it? Don't quote me on this, but it worked for one of my friends

Trust me i have tried everything to get better connection lol

The best players tend to have the best PCs and the best connection. It does give them a slight advantage over others but it isn't just about that. There isn't one PVP technique you have to follow, each player should develop their own style, find what way works best for them. For example, I play on a laptop which rarely ever gives me more than 60 FPS, so I've learnt to play defensively and I'd say it works well for me. If you have problems with connection I'd advise you to not play aggressively, use secondary weapons to defend yourself, run for a while of you have to.

I think my connection probably proves the "best connection and PC" theory wrong.

MC is based on connection a lot, however talent and skill is the main factor imho, practice makes perfect.

While that's true, if I were to fight myself, one version of me with good equipment, the other without it, the first me would certainly win

I never said all the best players play on amazing computers and have the best connection, but most do. If you were to play on equipment like some of the MCSG players do, you'd probably do even better than you do now.

My computer is eh and my connection on CA is pretty good (75) ms. I think connection can make an amazing player into average, so it plays a pretty big part in pvp. If you have enough skill though even if you 1 bar as long as you don't crash you won't be bad.

Yeah same

I've always wondered where I'd be if

a) I had good Internet
b) Everyone had bad Internet

This worked for me... Every game I was getting an internal exception and lagging HEAPS. Eventually my mum got sick of me complaining, so we went to our provider and got a new router.. It worked.

Lol, seems legit!
Glad your provider actually did something. Denster91 was supposed to get "Better and new Internet" like three times, but each time it only got worse.

I honestly feel that a good pc and connection help. True my ratio isn't the greatest but I play on a 20 fps laptop and I timed out in I believe 3 of my last five games. I hate to toot my own horn but I feel that a better pc and Internet give you a bigger advantage. I use to play on my friends survival server, where I learned to pvp (they had an arena) I got around 12 fps. Once I got optifine and boosted my fps into the 20-25 range things got a lot easier for me.
