Dns vs ping

Changing your DNS server probably won't have much effect.

DNS servers are for converting URLs to IP addresses, so when browsing the web, a fast DNS server is recommended.

However when it comes to gaming, most games will be communicating using IP addresses directly, so DNS won't be needed. While DNS effects the speed of establishing an initial connection to a website, once a connection is made, DNS is no longer required. 

So basically it's worth having a reliable, fast DNS server, but it's not going to affect your gaming at all.
