Does it make sense that simply reconnecting would improve my ping?

Sometimes I'd start a game with 120-140 ping. By simply reconnecting, it immediately drops to 70-80 (which is my normal ping, considering my distance from the servers). Considering how consistent this occurrence is(the high ping never happens mid-game, just from the start of a game; reconnecting reduces it until game ends with near 100% success rate), does it make any sense or is somehow the high ping displayed purely visual?

Sounds like you have several routes and reconnecting might choose a different route. Try snagging a program like HASTE and testing out some connections, because it keeps an eye on your ping highs/lows/packet loss AND has a function that makes your ping hi- Oh wait youre EUNE. Im sorry :c
