Lag

What does Lag mean in online gaming?

Game slowing down due to poor Internet connection

When your online gaming experience gets slow and out of sync, it’s called lag. This annoying situation usually happens due to a bad Internet connection.

Mostly, you’ll hear the term ‘lag’ being used by gamers. It’s a huge problem for them because it messes up their gameplay. They can’t react on time, or they miss important moves because of the lag.

And you know what’s even worse? When gamers lose a match, they often blame it on lag. It’s like their go-to excuse. But, in fairness, a laggy game can really ruin your chances of winning.
