I literally have come up against a good 6 killers in the last 2 days that I have been lagging so much and it was so bad that when i was unhooked I ran to the other gate and then it said I was hit and went down. Literally killers are the host of the game, so make sure they have good connection!

Thats my personal opinion btw

    well yeah... it kinda sucks that killers with high ping get a HUGE advantage, but when server side hit validation come back SoonTM, the killers shall face the wrath of their own high ping! Pallet stuns from 10 miles away anyone?

    Killers aren't the host. The servers are dedicated. I think you are talking about hit registration. Yes, its somewhat based on your position wrt the killer.

    Until hit validation is introduced, you will have to deal with it.

    Killers haven't been the host of a game in awhile (Where the jokes of DEADicated servers came about because how bad hit validation was with things like Dead Hard or Vaults).

    Lag goes in both directions "according to" this new system they've implemented where the person who has more lag is always at a disadvantage (HA) and with these new 60 tick rate refreshes these issues should've disappeared completely! (HA.. again).

    More seriously, my experience with laggy killers hitting me after I've vaulted a window then walked 5m away then getting sucked backwards still seems to happen and me hitting laggy survivors who make me stutter to pick up or hook when I'm on Killer. Probably nothing we can do about it and just hope the continued fixes by the devs eventually make it better across the board since it has gotten somewhat better since dedicated servers were first introduced

    What if I have good and stable ethernet connection with no packet loss with no vpn but I live far from servers and my ping is yellow. This is not my fault. What can I do to you? Move closer? I don't have advantage because I hit you where you are on my screen. It is you have disadvantage.

    Hey, survivors deal with killer hits, killers deal with failed grabs. Evens out.
