Just wondering

So, Earlier I've seen some Egys got 30 ping on EU and 100 on US, I thought that's just cause of their internet but no, I've heard some ppl saying its an client edit, So i'm wondering if any of u guys knows how to do it :o
Egys can never have lower than 70 ping, I'm sure of it, So any help would be useful, Thanks

Use a VPN

I doubt a VPN will actually help. I know the story, VPN providers can claim better routing through their network, so lower ping. Well, generally it's bullshit, and using a VPN will actually add to your latency (there are some cases where it would help, but those I think are less then 1%).

If it's a client edit, it's just visually. The server will still react and respond to you based on the real ping. Having a visible 30 ping and a real 300 will not change anything in your gameplay.

True: The exception to this rule is countries or services where routing tends to go through areas where throttling and QOS is common.

I know using a VPN was nearly required for league of legends for a long time just due to so many shitty mid west peers were throttling, qosing or dropping connections.
