Am I right in saying.......

that your ping does actually have an effect on gameplay?
The reason I'm asking is that I was playing GM Lab last night and one of my team, GR, had a status (ping) of 12.
After 3 rounds BL started calling him a hacker especially one who had a ping of 125 (same as me).
When I pointed out that a low ping meant he could react better this BL idiot said ping didnt matter, he then said STFU NOOB and dont comment on things you know nothing about.
I seem to remember when I first started playing 6 months ago and then started reading the forum guides at Subagames to improve my game, that distance to the server ie Ping/status does have an impact on your game play.
Am I right?
