Do you think a 40ping difference is significant?
Maybe I'm getting worse at this game. I moved about a year ago and don't think I have been playing as consistently since then. I averaged 80ping before the move and now I average 120.

80 to 120 is a big difference, 360 to 400 less so. that said as long as you aren't experiencing packet loss as well it is manageable.
I'd say it does. It definitely makes a bigger deal if you're jumping 80 - 120. However I would say that playing at 120 ping is actually noticeably more annoying than playing at 80 ping
120 ping makes mechanical stuff harder.
Just 120 is a little different, not very significant once you get used to it. However, if you get just a 40 ping increase for 2 sec regularly during the games, now that's very annoying and hard to deal with.
I have about the same issue. The place I live I have about 125 ping. never lower. I'm used to it so its alright by now. You usually dont notice it, but sometimes it happens to me that that slight ping difference makes a command go out slower and makes the difference between life and death. It isnt often, but annoying a few times. Don't worry too much about it, but 80 ping is WAY better if you can get it.
Above 100 where shit is getting real and u can expect a 0.5-1 sec delay. Altough it is manageable and playable until around 180~ish. THat's where the 2 second comes in with close to 0 playability.
It's massive and precludes you from playing certain champs. If you badly want to improve your play, move closer to the servers.
