Red bar pings should NEVER be allowed

I am sick and tired of playing either survivor or killer in a red bar ping. The game's number ping is a lie usually when it says its a red bar it shows up as 130 ms but in reality red bar pings means your ping is about 200+ even though the game doesn't tell you that. I know most of you people here won't care about high ping but as a player playing from a location without any nearby servers I'm constantly put into servers that are far away from my region. It has nothing to do with my connection and it really downgrades the online play experience. There's a lot of issues on both sides as killer and as survivor. Survivor you get hit with "fake hits" which don't make any sense. As killer when survivors hug you or you try body blocking a window or pallet you get rubber banded which basically means your character jitters and the survivor gets the advantage over you when clearly you have the advantage as killer. Please devs solve this issue. I'm playing from the middle east and i get connected to china servers and the pings are god awful 200+.

    The game with ping over 200 should give you option to DC without any penalty, or better yet, outright cancel the match.

    It's impossible to chase with such ping. You can't mind game anything as survivor, because the killer is 400ms + your ping (200ms to see his obsolete location and another 200ms where he hits you on his screen because you are somewhere else on your screen) away from where you actually see him - and I didn't even count in survivor's ping. That's full 2m away from your actual location. That's way too much.

    They need to add more server locations, a New York and Quebec server would help with my constantly high ping
