Who has .2 seconds reaction time.

True, but still, the OP has a point. You literally can't react to him and Riot really needs to address this kind of stuff.

Average human reaction time is actually right around there.

Lag from both sides, server lag... it all actually adds up.

.2 seconds is just below average, but if you factor in 50ms of lag it's completely impossible for humans.

Yeah, about .25 seconds. Add in a latency of 50 ms and about another quarter second to actually perform an action in response, and you've got .55 seconds between seeing something and performing an action in response to it.

Now, obviously the elite players are going to have much shorter reaction times and perform that action faster, but for the average person this will be accurate.

Average single-input reaction time is 0.28. Reaction time with even just two different options to react with is about 0.5 for average, down to 0.33 with training. The more options you have to chose between the slower it gets. Assuming the options for dealing with a rengar jump are: Flash away, Flash orthagonally, flash towards, Zonyas, and aimed or targeted CC spell, that's about 5 options that are sometimes the right choice and sometimes not, some of which themselves have lengthy windups before they come out depending on the champion. And of course in anything but lagless LAN environments, the ping will lower the available reaction time anywhere from 0.04 to 0.16 s. Good luck reacting to a tenth of a second stimulus.

There's a reason overhead mixups in fighting games rarely drop below 20 frames of windup even when there's only two input options.

That is not average. That's an experienced gamer's reaction time.

I mean in terms of being able to respond in a controlled manner, instead of just spazzing out like a startled monkey and pressing random buttons.

only when youre highly trained at that particular reaction. you already have to have the movement in your muscle memory.

Plus the 5s of limbo

Because.... SCIENCE!

Nice theory, but Rengar doesn't give auditory warning of which direction he's coming from. There's no way to use the audio queue to align your mouse over him in order to react to him at all. The roar is only useful for allerting you to him, in order to actually react properly to him in any way other than a pre-mediated flash in a random direction, IE to do something like Condemn him as Vayne you actually need to wait the full visual reaction time.

Also worth noting, .185 is a very quick visual reaction time, the last time I took one of those tests I was at about .2 and I'm still well above average. The average reaction time is .28, add your 63 ping to that and you're looking at .34 seconds before you can make a meaningful reaction to Rengar. The issue is he can be on top of you in less time than that and burst you in fractionally more time.

Except there are 1000 miliseconds per second, not 100.

So 0.28, not 2.8

But that's still being extremely generous since the 0.28 time is for simple reaction test timing on subjects who are already prepared to react to a single specific thing with a single specific response. With even just 2 different stimuli and a different appropriate response to each, the reaction time slows to between 0.3 and 0.45 before accounting for lag. That is also not accounting for the literal hundreds of different stimuli to react to accordingly in the game nor the fact that in cases like this there isn't an anticipatory response being tested as in the non-blinded studies. Without anticipation, the immediate reaction time speeds up (think jump scares) but the response time slows even further.

you know your target gets an indicator right?

Watching myself die seemingly half a second after flashing was bizarre.

yea, i dont like how flashing does nothing to stop point an click out of stealth one shots, same shit happens with kha zix Q rengar Q and wukong Q i think it is. many times ive been able to nearly survive these 3 champions only to flash away an see the animation hit me at spot i flashed an die -.-.
