Fake ping spike?

Is it possible to fake your ping numbers? I often see if someone fails at something they immediately like to show their high ping and do it over and over, each time going higher and higher. Then when they are doing better they don't notify the ping status. I know some people have spikes but I got a feeling some are just faking it when doing poorly.

You probably made this thread while having a high ping spike.

Why would you show your good ping after a good play? That makes no sense at all. Or do you always show your ping in chat? You show the bad ping after you failed so people don't flame you but notice that you did fail because of a lag spike/general high ping. I always do the same thing, no need to fake this.

Sometimes when a dumbass play by me is followed by question mark ping spam, I go turn on the microwave and ping my 500+ spikes caused by it :^)
