Is the speed/quality with which your device and sts server exchange data.
Its that weird number on the top-left of your screen on the menu page.
It can be red, yellow or green.
When it turns red then something is wrong somewhere and strange stuff happen, like your attacks not workin everyone standing still and character dashing from one spot to another. Not good.

Its the time your signal takes time to travel to sts server and back. 150ping means it takes 150 milliseconds from the time you press the skill button, to the action everyone else sees.

High ping causes rage especially in Pocket Legends PvP which is so much based on range and sometimes taking cover from trees. With 500 ping, you cant kite because the signal is so delayed. Getting hit by massive crits trough trees and covers is kinda annoying so having a good ping increases game experience a lot.

Lower ping is better, as I said in my comment

Ping determines the speed of the connection to the sts servers. Its like mother nature, once it goes mad, people get screwed.

Lol I enjoyed that intellectual humor. But I do hate when the world freezes. When I finally come to, I died
