Does this mean Dota on the moon will have better latency

[-] CaptPretentious@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

Nope. S-Band had ~2500 ms ping, a laser will be the same. But, more bandwidth now! So you still can't play Pudge.

Sounds like my average teammate. Enemy on the other hand always has the best ping and skill.
