Killer vs Survivor gameplay (vaults-latency)
So, I have about 4k hours total, and about 1.5k hours of that is spent on killer, and the rest are queues. (joking) But, one thing I have noticed that is extremely frustrating, is, when I play killer, I have amazing ping, and survivors are allowed to make the MOST cheeky vaults ever. But when I play survivor, theres a 9/10 chance that latency will screw me over, and I will get hit through the vault always. It feels unfair at times. They get to make vaults that I can't. I don't like to be entitled, but man is it annoying. It makes it really hard to win 50/50's and do risky vaults when latency screws me over. Don't get me wrong, i'm not trying to say killer is op, and i'm not trying to do the same with survivor. I'm also not trying to say hitboxes are broken, or else those survivors wouldn't be able to make those vaults. I'm simply asking BHVR to do something about the latency (which i doubt they can) so everyone can have an enjoyable experience without having to get hit through every window/pallet, even though when I play killer, survivors would be allowed to get away with the exact same vaults. Not to mention the constant lag spikes. I mean cmon, I lag spike almost every single game I play. Im not exaggerating. As survivor and killer. I'm not trying to complain, but it makes it really hard to enjoy survivor sometimes when it feels like I always have to run vault speed build (which rarely helps nowadays) to have a decent experience. I have recently been playing more killer, and because im so used to getting hit through most vaults, it's hard to make out if I can hit the survivor vaulting or not. But then, there's some golden games where I can actually vault windows and not get hit through them? Hey, at least it's not as bad as the All-Kill update's hits. Anyways, is it cause of their servers? Is there anything they can do to fix it? I would rather not continue to play the game if survivors are going to make every vault that I for some reason can't make myself as survivor (even though my internet is amazing). Also, what happened to that system would detect if the hit was latency, and would give you the health state back if it was lag? Anyone know what i'm talking about? This is a pretty long post, but I have been playing dead by daylight for so long, and this has been on my mind for a while. Hopefully i'm not making myself look like an idiot by posting this, but I doubt im not the only one who has latency issues every game. It feels like you HAVE to have 30-50 ms to have a good experience as survivor. Even 70+ ms gets you hit through every vault. I consistently have 30-50 ms as killer, which allows those survivors to make those vaults. But, getting 30-50 ms as survivor is as rare as getting tricksters adept at red ranks. Maybe i'm thinking too much into it. I doubt there's anything they could do about it anyways. :(
