How come modern multiplayer games don't show ping/latency? (yiffit.net)

It's always been useful in figuring out if you need to lead or trail a target more in a shooter, but all these modern shooters have taken that bit out of the scoreboard.

Checking out The Finals and for the first few games, I thought it used projectiles for the guns because I hit more often shooting ahead of moving targets, only to find they are indeed hitscan and hit better when actually looking directly at the dude when nobody is lagging.

Good games do. Playing Marvel rivals, it has ping, network meter, etc

I want to enjoy this game but I just can not wrap my head around all the heroes and their abilities. There's way too many of them.

Which is odd, because I didn't have much issue figuring out Overwatch during the open beta back in 2016. Am I just getting old in my 30s, or is Marvel Heroes legitimately more complex than OW was back then?

It's the kind of thing you just learn over time as you play. It can be pretty brutal early on tho.

It could be worse- first MOBA I really got into was Smite and there's ~130 characters in that game.

I hear you. It's worth a play, but there are 30ish heroes all with some what unique abilities and counters. It can be overwhelming..
