It's a real pain, It fluctuates a ton going from 40-60 most times and then sometimes I'll get a 300 spikes. Never really had this problem before so wouldn't know where to start.
FYI I'm playing on a wired connection. I never really have my ping up in other games but from what I can tell it doesn't do it in other games.
It may be other devices in your house using your bandwidth. For example if you have a spouse or roommates that are streaming video while you are trying to play. This can be solved by buying more bandwidth from your ISP or by setting up QoS on your router to give priority to your computer.
If it's not other devices on your network it's also possible your ISP is screwing you over by giving you a crappy connection and you would have to call them for support.
