Killer has priority because of ping, unplayable

I am playing with 20 ping but I am still being grabbed despite being able to move. Or I am hit from far away. This game has the most terrible servers I've seen in a video game before. Or somehow if I am dropping the pallet, killer hits me and cancels my animation. We have killers who are lagswitching, every other online game has a ping limit. The servers are going to be main reason I permanently quit this game. Is anyone having the same problems because it is unplayable when mechanics are not working because killers have priority over actions? Not receiving packet loss and other online games have no issues, there is something wrong with this game.

    Happens both ways. Laggy survivors tend to ice skate so they could be going on direction but then rubber band the other messing up multiple killers powers.

    I don't think it's a problem with servers as much as BHVR just not doing anything about people playing with high pings (whether it's because they're on VPN or just have bad internet connections). I wish they would enforce ping limits in lobbies, but I know that they won't. Plenty of people are still playing the game and buying content despite this problem, so there's no incentive for BHVR to do anything about it. We will continue to have to live with this situation in which players who are purposely exploiting with VPNs or just have crappy internet are favored over players who want a fair match in which they're able to express their skills with timely actions.
