Please disable the dedicated servers

As someone who has played the game since launch and faced plenty of killers with bad connections and lagswitchers I was super excited when they announced that they're adding dedicated servers. I knew they weren't going to be a miracle fix and make the game perfect, but in my opinion they've only made things worse.You can no longer judge the distance where a killer might hit you because the servers are just messed up. Even as killer I get hits that should have not connected. There are numerous issues that have not been acknowledged and if the devs know about them, nothing is done about it. Pallet and window hits are worse than they've ever been, Dead Hard is almost unusable, Huntress throws beach balls around corners, grabs are still not working properly and since the last patch there are constant disconnects. And like I said I've been playing since launch, I play both sides a lot and the servers have thoroughly sucked out all the enjoyment from survivor side.

I understand that they've spent so much time and money on these, but honestly it has all been for nothing. It's time to stop wasting resources on them. Disconnect penalties are the only thing they've added and don't really solve anything since people will suicide on hooks. Or they just disconnect anyways because 5-15 minutes every other day is nothing.

Though if you're so adamant on keeping the servers up, at least give us proper ping indicators. An icon in the corner basically means nothing. And maybe just upgrade from the cheapest server option you clearly chose.

P.S. I apologise for this kind of sounding like a rant but the servers just happen the be the only tilting thing about the game for me.

    I forgot to add this. Guess who got downed from all the way there. He lunged around the barrels at nothing and suddenly I fall down. I didn't even teleport backwards.
