I dont know anyone who plays on console with K&M, is it a thing? Tempted to buy a PS5 for that experience as have been using K&M on PC since forever for FPS games. Well, since around 1990 on an Amiga then a few years later PC

Yeah, it could well be settings needing to be tweaked. I haven't tried it outside of a few games back on WZ Caldera but my mate who is exclusively mouse and key just relentlessly complained about it to the point where he swapped inputs!
I usually play mouse and keyboard for most fps games but COD is one that I just use a controller for.

I had a random teammate on resurgence who was really good and carried me and my mate to a win and when i looked him up he was using M&K on PS5. So people do use it.
I was playing quads the other night. None of us have a single WZ victory, all below 1kd and the lobby starts by saying there's a champions quest started....team that won finished with 48 kills between them! How on earth are we getting pair with them?You guys going on about chasing nukes and here's me struggling to get even 1 win

They will be using a no lag vpn, which essentially helps to bypass SBMM.
Wonder if that helps as noobs get ultra noob lobbies?!
What is a no lag VPN and how is it different to a regular VPN?
NoLag is just a standard VPN but has the added benefit of not slowing your connection or giving you horrible latency in game.
So just marketing then?

'NoLag' is the name of the VPN.
No, it’s the only VPN I’ve noticed that makes a difference to what lobby you get.
Well the no lag part is marketing, unless they found a way to transfer data faster than the speed of light then connecting to another country is going to increase latency. I tried reverse boosting once and it got boring really fast just shooting people that don't shoot back, seems really sad that people would pay for that when they could just play against actual bots in a private lobby.
Latency and speed (bandwidth) aren't the same thing, FTTC is usually low latency and fine for gaming.
The name of the VPN is NoLag, they don’t advertise a lag free experience.
I’ve used 5-6 different ones and NoLag has the best connection with the lowest latency while in game.
They're still advertising no lag in the name itself.
It's more than fine gaming, but slap a Vpn to somewhere not local where they say the 'bot lobbies' are and it's unplayable

It doesn’t. It is designed to break SBMM so high skilled players aren’t constantly against other very high skill players, making it more randomised. As their is less high skill players than low skill they get a better chance to get so called “bot lobbies”. It’s explained on their site
“So, what does No Lag VPN do, exactly? It uses the OpenVPN connection protocol and SmartDNS to send your game-related traffic via particular locations. This way, you'll get access to the best lobbies. For example, the NoLag VPN provider is dedicated only to supporting Warzone players and routes.”
I'd be cautious about using it as it seems like a bit of a grey area; deliberately circumventing SBMM could be considered exploiting/cheating. Unlike other VPNs it's specifically advertised to break SBMM in Warzone so they could just grab all their IP addresses and ban anyone using it.
