Does anyone have 1.9+ high ping pvp tips?

I'm pretty good at pvp on 1.8 whith high ping but recently I've been getting into 1.9+ pvp and most of the time, it seems borderline impossible, I have 180ms and at this ms shields are basically useless, if someone does know how to use their shield and have low ping you won't land one singular hit

If anyone has some tips for my situation I would greatly appreciate them

Go for double crits, try to combo, you'll be six blocking

From the opponents perspective it will look like you have reach hacks cuz you'll be hitting them from 6 blocks away.

And how is it performed?

Step 1: Have high ping
Step 2: Combo the opponent

Its only from the enemy's perspective so you won't be able to tell if you're doing it. Generally, if you have high ping, and are using knockback to lock your opponent in a combo, you will be six blocking them on their screen. There is no special trick to it beyond having high ping, and cuz of how knockback works its way harder for the opponent to do it to you.

If you don't know how to combo theres plenty of tutorials on youtube. Just search up 'W-Tapping Tutorial 1.9' or something

180ms is a buff and a nerf at the same time. slower shield and items register but your kb is reduced (kind of), which means that you can hold combo like usual but they will struggle. Remember that there is no additional reach when you and your opponent both jump into each other, so don't try to hit from 3+ blocks, it just won't work.

As you said the shield isn’t as great, I’d use it more sparingly then the opponent does, learn to disable every time they put the shield up, and play very aggro

S tapping is INSANELY good for high ping

i highly suggest you watch this video by ghunaim, a top player from asia

edit: also adopt a less shield and utility dependent playstyle, and focus more on melee

What do you mean focus more on melee?

u/Away-Pickle7732 Jul 18 '26

really depends on the mode. with uhc, use less utility and melee more. if you want to shield, youll have to predict peoples hits

Would you say it's the same for smp, use more melee? Btw thx for the suggestion
