I see lots of people use ping, pinger, no skill just ping etc. as an excuse if they lose a fight.
I would understand if someone with for example 130+ ping lost to someone with less then 50 ping. Most of us have some servers we really like which we get bad ping on.
I found an interesting video recently about something I've never heard about before, ping zones.

I also found a thread about ping on another server's web site and this is what the person wrote about ping

3. Ping

A lot of people say that ping is more important in 1.8, however it really doesn't make that big a difference (unless you have 200+ ping). Minecraft is split into "Ping Zones", which go by every 50 MS (milliseconds). This means that someone with 1 ping and someone with 50 ping won't see that much of a difference. Same as someone with 51 ping and someone with 100 ping won't see much of a difference. The only reason why people think there is a huge difference is because the animation is delayed. Ping starts to matter at 130+ ping. Lets say for example im playing potion pvp and im jitter clicking, but i have 150 ping. Some of my clicks won't register and i'll miss a couple milliseconds (which doesn't seem like a lot, but it could turn the combo into your opponents favor). However, most people don't have that high a ping (if you do, play on your areas server).

Don't blame ping if you lose. If it's an excuse at all, it's because you have significantly worse ping then the opponent. Even then, keep it to yourself and don't disrespect the player who killed you.
Most of us have good ping anyway since there is US, EU and AU servers.
