Just don’t. High ping = high frustration. It's like trying to win a race with your shoelaces tied together. But if you must, sticking to support roles and using strategic utility usage can help. Or, work on that sniping skill; if you’re gonna lag, might as well do it from a distance!

Playing CS:GO with high ping can be like trying to dance ballet in quicksand, but fear not! First thing, prioritize staying back and playing more of a support role since you'll likely encounter delays in shooting and movement. Use utilities like smokes and flashes to help your team, as throwing these won't be as affected by your ping. Also, pre-firing common spots can be a game-changer; with high ping, you’ve gotta be two steps ahead mentally because you’re two steps behind digitally. And hey, always keep an eye on that ping. Sometimes, just switching to a server closer to your region can make a big difference!

Honestly, I've played on high ping before, and it's all about anticipation. Learn the maps well and predict where enemies will be. It's like you're playing chess and FPS at the same time. And remember, everyone has off days, ping or no ping.
