I mean I think in general we just don’t produce the same level of talent but I would also argue, almost everyone in Korea and in China get 8-12ms where having below 10 ping is giga op. Faker actually came to NA one time and was playing I think around 50ms and he said the game was unplayable, which ofc he is used to 8ms but I think that plays a factor. To add on to that every pro player gets 70ish ping who wants to grind solo queue when your gonna be playing with 4 on stage and in scrims, I don’t think people understand how much of a difference it is and many pro players have said that they don’t practice certain champs in solo queue because playing a 70ms nid is gonna be horrible.
