Erratic Survivor Movement
First off, I'm at 63~69 ms on PS4 and my internet connection is great. That said...

Survivors move so erratically and jarringly.
One second they're moving one direction looking behind them, the next they're running at me looking at me, and then they're running away from me again looking straight ahead - all without any transition in their animation, model, or movement. Just suddenly they're moving in whatever direction at full speed, no turning, no loss of momentum, just instantly zooming.
It doesn't happen with every Survivor or all the time, but when it does they're totally unpredictable.
It looks weird as heck and makes landing Hatchets close up really frustrating; which is already annoying because of how often Survivors tend to just absorb them if they stand or sit still.
This isn't a bug report and I don't want to submit a support ticket; I just want to know if other people are seeing this or if I'm going crazy.

I'm on PS4 too, as survivor we do this to take advantage of low frame's. Can be really annoying when playing killer

Just because you are 63-69 ms to the server doesn't mean the survivor has the same connection. Most likely the survivor has high ping and so the server updates the new survivor position and movement less frequently.

Im on ps4 to and i didnt know thats why people always do that.

This is why I wish I could check Survivor ping pregame.
It's possible during game, but by then I can't leave if I don't want to deal with it.
That said, there's a difference between this and like, teleporting around, running into walls, jerky running movement type lag.
With this it's less that they're teleporting or stuttering and more that they're always moving at full speed in whatever direction them aim themselves. There's no momentum.
If they start moving backwards they just instantly face backwards and run.

They are just skillful lol
They're not taking advantage of terrible performance or lag switching all over the place, at all lol

Yeah, this happens to me all the time. My favorite thing about console players is that when you down them their bodies jump about 10 feet when they drop and you can't find them.

Yeah, trying to spit on survivors is fun when they can jitter around and spasm into my stomach where I can’t spew. Also gotta love those screams of sickness with...no sickness added.
