Think of ping as a way to measure how fast your computer talks to the game server. When you play online games, your computer sends a signal to the server and waits for an answer. Ping tells you how long this takes, like an echo bouncing back to you. In games, you want this time to be short (we measure it in milliseconds). A lower ping means your game responds faster, which is important in quick games like Apex Legends. High ping can slow you down; in gaming, every fraction of a second counts!
