144Hz actually worth it?

[Guest]

Because my friend has one now, a 144hz monitor and while I only saw it in action on the desktop (lol, yes the mousecursor was smoother) I wonder how it will do in games like League of Legends?

 

I play LoL yes, and sometimes WoW and sometimes other games.

 

I wonder though, would I REALLY notice the difference or is it simply not worth it for League?

 

Because I am wondering if I should get such a monitor myself.

I would recommend it in fast action games like FPS's in League it would feel smoother sure but there would be no advantage.

Oh yeah and I play it for fun, not even competitive. So not sure if it is worth blowing 280 euro on.

for fun get a nice ips panel if you need a monitor. maybe even 1440p or 4k.

For non competitive definitely not, anyone that does play competitive just gets them for free

I currently have a 1920x1200 IPS and a 1920x1080 TN as a second.

Yeah, not even ranked, just normal games.

 

Yeah alright, maybe later when I have some money to burn, but now I don't need it.

as a league player i dont really notice the diference in my friends monitor but its all about you i guess

[eLucid]

Sure, if you're a pro gamer and you want a competitive edge.

I'm playing CSGO and the difference is huge. I have a 144hz Benq and now whenever I play on my brother's 60hz, I feel some serious lag. When I got my 144hz, people were instantly saying that I am preshooting corners but actually I see the enemy jumping out before he sees me. Thats a big advantage even for a not-so competetive gamer like me.

[Wildlord12]

Yeah, i got 3x 120hz and feel smooth. 144hz is good for gamers

[CaptainRagu]

Maybe im just not picky but ive gone from a 60hz laptop to a 144hz monitor and i dont really notice the difference in movement fluidity.

[Superduperrandom]

On day-to-day applications I don't notice the difference either, but in games it's light years ahead.

Most of the 144hz monitor also have 1 ms of response time. Low response time means less ghosting which may benefit in League while scrolling thru the map or while in a fight.

Depends on the games but if you mainly play games like league or WoW or similar slower paced games then a nice IPS panel monitor will do. Something from the ACER H6 series is cheap and nice. But if you plan on playing games like CS:GO or Tribes ascend you will notice the difference maybe not right away but you'll feel it when you go back down to 60hz.  One of those things where you might not notice it, but your brain does.
