How is this not a feature? im tired of trying to find lobbies with good ping and the only thing i find are lag-switch lobbies or killers who have more than 120 ping, u cant jump windows without getting hit thru them, or drop pallets, how is this a fair thing? there should be an option to set a maximum amount of ping.. there are games that have in-game option to set a limit for how high ping on lobbies should be, and before anyone says "just dodge and find a new one" u can do that for hours until you find a decent lobby lol.. if you are gonna nerf pallets and windows to the point we can barely use them, at least an option to set how much ping we want to deal with when playing the game, srsly not fair to play against a killer that has 200 ping and hits you miles away after vaulting a window, that's just beyond stupid..

    Even at 20ms you can get hit through pallets because its an intended design. There is no magical invisible shield that blocks the killers arm from reaching through the window :wink:

    From my experience, everything below 200ms is gucci. If you have such a big problem finding a lobby below 200 (or even 120), then it might be your connections fault.

    no, it's not my connection, when i play as killer everyone on my lobby has less than 50 or 60, if i had a bad connection everyone else would have a bad connection as well, i RARELY find games taht have the same net, still when i play as killer and i lunge to windows, towards survivors who have low ping thanks to my good internet, i sometimes dont hit them, and they are in mid animation, like just vaulting the window, not even the other side, and when i do it on a high ping lobby, i can even be on the otherside of the window, already far away and still get hit, it's a hitbox-ping related issue that's quite stupid honestly, even many youtubers and streamers refer to it as a ping based issue that prevents survivors from using pallets and windows properly..

    You just need experience. If there really is lagg in the game, then you feel it and can adapt to it by dropping pallets slightly earlier e.g.

    I dont have any problems finding a lobby with acceptable ping

    Well on my region aka south america you can have a lobby with 50 ms and then suddenly as u get o nthe game it goes up to 120 or 140, most likely happens on 90% of games, and the other 10 are just lag switches, and yeah i always get told "just adapt to it" yet i see killers later complaining about ds, but hey if i see "adapt to it" i just get called toxic lmao..

    EDIT: not even asking for a huge perk or something to make survivor easier, just an option to not get on games with ping higher than a certain amount, it wouldnt be too hard to make..
