Back up to 1400 elo!
Yes, yes, I'm well aware that 1400 is not only the original elo you're given when you join Badlion, and that it's also extremely mediocre. However, it's still a feat for me that last night I finally got back up to 1400 (exactly, lol) on the BuildUHC ladder. Here's the match that got me back up.

I'm in a very unique situation in terms of PvP because of my garbage PC and internet. I have a laptop with 2GB of RAM, single-core processor and 140GB of hard drive space. On a good day on Badlion, I get between 70 and 90 fps, and my ping jumps between 150 to 200 and 50 to 60. I get a lot of lag spikes right at the very end of fights, which often leads me to die to someone I could have rodded or lava bucketed and brought back the game. The two good pieces of hardware I have are my Razer Kraken Pro headset and my Razer DeathAdder Chroma, both of which I use to my benefit. I have a decent clickspeed and my bow aim is very good. I also use hotkeys and am above average at the fishing rod. In short, I'm not a bad PvPer, but my trashy PC setup has helped me destroy my elo all the way down to 1200 at one point, which is why I'm so elated at hitting 1400 once again.

Well, that's my story. I'm excited to move on to improving my BuildUHC elo much more in the future!

It's certainly bad compared to 200 or 300, like many of the people I play with.

Plus, it's very fluctuating - I'll jump from 90 fps down to 40 or 30 in one second at times.

Then lock your FPS at 40 or something. @Moonjog plays with 20 fps or some shit and you don't see him complaining.

For your ping, restart your modem and make sure you're using ethernet

No difference between 200 and 90 fps unless you're using a high refresh rate monitor, which I think I can assume you aren't based on you're specs, and even then the difference is miniscule
