PTP > Dedicated?

What was the point of using dedicated? Hits are still calculated om killer's side, and server seems to be nothing more than a simple relay which just adds ping and increases matchmaking time. I.e I have a ping of 2-5 ms to any Moscow host, to i.e. Berlin - 50 ms. But EVERY lobby i have is 60+ ping. In case of PTP i definitely would get better summary ping. Because now it is Killer's ping to host + Surv's ping. So every lag doubles when we talk about hits, abilities and movement. Let alone each side can't see ping of another before matching. So there is a possible situation of surv's 60 ping + 200+ killer's and it is awful.

Someone could say that Dedicated is more secure than PTP in scope of any sort of cheating. Yes, it is in common, but not here. DBD dedicated servers are much more "stupid" than many others are. They will not teleport lagging killer to his origin position or check validity of hitting someone across whole map. If they would - there would be no those hackers teleporting through the map and hitting through 50m. They are just relays, useless brokers\intermediary. And this increases ping a lot and adds those through-window hits. There probably could be no situation where Dedicated server in small (5 players) lobby would be faster than PTP.

So what was the reason of moving to dedicated after all?

What's your opinion after all? M.b. you can tell me why it should be dedicated instead of ptp now?

    And grabs are still survivor calculatet.

    Dedicated is better from the connectio they just have to optimize it.

    Personnaly, I had a better experience with PTP. Now half of the grabs are bugged

    p2p played much better, the only problem was to find the host with the lowest ping. Now, a ping of 90 feels like 200+, which leads to hits through pallets, windows and the inability to grab someone
