If you're still stuck in the high ping zone, consider using a gaming VPN. Some VPNs can actually reduce ping by routing your connection more efficiently to the game server. Just make sure to choose one that's optimized for gaming.

First off, try connecting your PC to the internet with an ethernet cable instead of using Wi-Fi. Wired connections are more stable and usually offer lower ping. Next, close any bandwidth-hungry apps like streaming services, downloads, or large file transfers before playing. Also, you can try lowering the game’s graphics settings. Sometimes, less strain on your system can slightly improve your connection.

Honestly, just move closer to the server. Can't get better than zero distance, right?

Ping is just a number. Embrace the lag. Become one with the stutter step. It's not about lowering ping; it's about raising your tolerance.

Sometimes, tweaking your in-game settings can help. Go to CS:GO's game settings and lower your max acceptable matchmaking ping. This forces the game to look for servers that meet your lower ping criteria, making your matches smoother.
