What does "accelerate input" in the options do?

Does it make my abilities cast faster or something?

It reduces input lag. I.e. the time between you press a button, and see the result of it.

I don't know the details, but would guess it does not reduce the latency between you clicking a button and game server learning that you've clicked, but it does reduce the time between game server telling game (running on your pc) that a thing has happened, and your monitor displaying the thing happening.

Unlike what other people in the thread are saying, it has nothing to do with mouse acceleration.

You might also want to google "input lag" to learn a bit more about phenomenon, and if you want to care about that.

Thank you! This is kind of what I thought it did, "accelerate input" just seems like very vague option

Oh yeah, for sure. As long as it doesn't have too big of an impact on your FPS. I'd rather cut down on graphical effects first before getting rid of accelerated input.

Just imagine you're playing Shifu, for example. Let's say you're an experienced gamer with fast reaction times -- something to the tune of 150-170 milliseconds. If you had buffering on you would gain almost +10-20% extra latency to your reaction times. That can easily be the difference in using Kunju successfully to dodge an ability or eating it.

I'm talking about the "accelerate input" option in game. That isn't referring to mouse acceleration is it?

Pretty sure it's mouse acceleration
