Clip to accompany this post, I'm talking about especially egregious situations like the one below

That hit likely looked like it hit on Wesker's screen, but for me I had zero way of actually countering him because he was bounding towards a spot I wasn't in - it punishes me further by dragging me back to the place his game thinks I'm standing in. And whilst it's particularly obvious on Wesker, this issue remains an issue on every killer in the game.

I'm no programmer of online video games, so I don't know what is causing this issue to exist. But I figure someone at BHVR can at least know why it happens even if they don't have a quick or simple fix.

    Ping can affect killers too, by the way, robbing them of hits.

    If a survivor wiggles their character from side to side as they run and the killer lunges, the "aim dressing" will try to lock on to where the survivor is on the killer's screen (let's say the right) but by the time the game doube checks the hit the survivor has already moved (now on the left).
