Why dont players with a bad ping buy Banner and ZZ?

Hi,

Just played with an Ahri mid, 1200ms ping. All they did was stand under tower. Yet they wouldnt buy any items that couldve been useful such as zz or banner.

1st question: SHould a player still build normal build if they have full ping. 2nd question: How to convince them to buy other items instead if they should?

most the people i know who have ping don't suffer from "bad ping" but from "inconsistant ping" where one moment it's a perfect 50 than it randomly spikes to something absurd like 500. So for those people, you still buy normal, in hopes it will fix itself.

Thanks for the reply. This may have been what was happening. I will ask next time to find out :)

This! Most of the time they will shoot from X ping to 400, 1000 or any ping.

One day I visited my friend, we both play league, however his house has shitty internet.

At his house I experienced for the first time 500 ping, it randomly spiked to 3000 ping. As someone who has played on such horrors, i can tell you their no actual difference, it simply hits a state where it's so bad, that it can't possibly get worse.

Oh, yeah sorry, I personally play on 27 :< I was just guessing!

Honestly, if it's a constant ping, I might just suggest they build a Rot/Banner, if we're implying it's Ahri. On champs such as Annie or Swain, it might be a little silly, since they can still preform the simplest things with a tad bit of hindrance
