While some of it is true, then why has the pro gamers even commented with 144Hz displays and higher, they have the edge peeking around corners while it remains clear and quicker input versus a 60Hz display. There are Youtube videos on it. Just like a good pair of headphones, hearing someone creep about but that is only as good as the persons skill for audio cues. As well as being familiar with a specific games sound engine.
Still, the majority of gamers only play for fun. Or do they? “Get Rekt!”
I’d agree with you on the mouse/keyboard point. The majority of keyboards and mice are more or less the same. Preference in switches etc and gaming mice, the sensors are more or less the same bar comfort.
Crazy how you hear so many that own 12+ gaming mice within 6 months or so and they aren’t pro.
obviously 144hz is better than 60fps. a top tier player can take advantage of the fact his screen refreshed quicker than his opponents did.
stick 2 low skill players one on 60 hz and one on 144hz and it won't make much different. like i said before tick rate does the same thing in destiny 1, you get a lot of trades because the server takes so long to refresh. so in the time the high skiller has refreshed he's already seen his opponent and starting to line up a shot. now the other guy using 60 hz has only just seen his opponent and reacts later.
60hz is still plenty fast IMO. it won't make a huge difference to 50% of players going up to 144hz. the top 15% will be able to make some difference. the biggest effect it will have is on the top 1-3% going up to 144hz from 60hz.
