It only affects the server. The ping does not depend 100% of you, it also depends of the server upload, and the server cpu. For example, you can host a server, and when are 2 players, they both have ping 10, but if another 20 players will join your server, the ping will go higher for all players, because the server will try to sync them all up, and if one of those players have a really high ping, that will affect even more, because of the way the server works(waiting for feedbacks and stuffs).
