    I repeatedly did tests with my 60(!) year old dad, and he always had a reaction time of 165ms with single results as low as 145ms. That’s the same as me and I am 21. To be fair, he still does sports multiple times a week and has always been an active person, but don’t let your age demotivate you❤

Anyways great video thanks!

    I feel like it has extreme importance at immortal, when I'm getting 220ms I end up bottomfragging and every single enemy feel like the flash is peeking, but when I'm on a 170ms day, suddenly I am the top frag. Because there is no time to adjust aim if I'm just slow. Everyone is too fast tbh. That's why I'm a complete nerd that plays unfair with abilities

    I was researching this a few days ago, I basically agree with everything said in this vid. Reaction time isn’t worth thinking about, just being alert is enough for most.
    An interesting thing I noticed is that (for me at least), my reaction time with mouse is WAY faster than my keyboard, which is like 100ms slower at most. Even still, it doesn’t feel like it makes too much difference.

  • @foxcollr831
    @foxcollr831 2 місяці тому +1

    Love this video!! :) I've always hated the myths that spread around about age and reaction time. Some people don't seem to understand that it takes a LOOOOOOOOONG time before your raw reaction time starts to significantly decline, they act like you die at 20 and doing anything after that is just hopeless... which is funny, considering a lot of athletes don't hit peak performance or peak raw reaction until their 30's, and even after that they can continue to compete without a problem for years to come. Look at Tony Hawk, an example of someone who has competed in a VERY risky and VERY dangerous sport for decades, suffered many debilitating injuries, and even then he somehow managed to thrive into his 30's and 40's and occasionally compete at top level when he isn't busy being a parent.
    It's obviously sad that there will come a time where everyone won't be able to do some of the things they enjoy anymore, but by that time we'll be thinking about retirement. It all feels like it's part of the general "age dooming" trend in the US, where people are going through severe depressive episodes and feeling absolutely worthless because society keeps lowering the "old age" threshold to the point teenagers will call 18-20 year olds "unc" or "boomer". It feels especially prevalent in gaming communities, and I'm glad to see videos dispelling the myths and bringing some POSITIVITY into the space. Also a very helpful and informative vid for me in general, well done!

    i avg 150 ms on human benchmark. Scores between 140-160. What helps is: 1) a good mouse 2) high refresh rate monitor, mine is 144hz 3) sitting very close to the monitor 4) have some attention on your finger when waiting for green, this reduces the time it takes for your finger to move.

      also there is misconception reaction time is just genetic - this is just untrue, do not buy into this . i used to have 240ms reaction time and after many years of shooters and fighting games i have gotten it down to 160ms

    If you all want a workout that can enhance reaction time, try to improve your VO2 Max (look up how important it is to your overall health, especially as you get older). This is your body’s ability to throw around and synthesize oxygen, how efficiently and how quickly. Look up Kettle Bell Swing Ladders, and how to breathe so you can improve VO2 max. EVERYONE needs to be doing this, because reaction time is directly related to how well your body can metabolize and process chemicals from the air and move it around the body. Konpeki needs to research this and make a video about it. How VO2 Max improvement can enhance competitive gaming.

    • @krypticsz4154
      @krypticsz4154 Місяць тому

      Check your wifi. Might be too slow of a plan you're on. If that's fine, are you playing on a wireless connection? If you are, change to wired. Otherwise, if not that, turn all setting down to low & lock FPS at 120 since that's your highest. If that doesn't work either, time for a PC upgrade. Sounds like it's about time too if 120fps is really all you're getting. Valorant is not a resource-intensive game.

    what can I do if my average reaction time is 280ms?
    because I'm only 17 and I feel my brain is slower than a 90 year old grandma

      it’s likely your hardware, i used to get 250ms on an old pc, after an upgrade i’ve gotten 130-150, don’t be too harsh on yourself
