For how long will the game reward high ping?

We all know about the new and trendy "hit validation tech": if the survivor has a 300+ ms ping, you won't be able to hit them at any pallet, and if you do - the game will just take the hit back. But pallets are not the only place where WiFi lords get their advantage: if you try to play Blight against people with 3-digit pings you will not be able to land a single hit: because of how quick Blight moves it's much easier to dodge his hits with lagswitching. Your hits will be denied even if they are clear as day.

Earlier killers with enormous pings were in bliss, but then they changed the hit validation so that it's survivor favored now, and the same logic now applies for them: the higher their ping is - the more advantage the game gives them. The core issue hasn't changed: it's still "high ping" favored. Will this ever be changed to favor people with good connection instead of the other way around, or will we all have to move to the new WiFi meta to have a chance in high ranks?

    I want a revert and for survivors to stop camping pallets which was already suboptimal to begin with. Two birds, one stone. People learn the game better, and trades would actually trade.

    Forever. Sadly in many games game will reward you if you have ping from Mars. And people abuse that like hell.
