This shouldn't be allowed
Sorry, but something needs to be done to address this. Playing against a killer with 300 ping is akin to playing against a cheater. Stuns don't land, you get hit from miles away, they teleport around. It's not playable.
This killer had ping jumping between 300 and 400 the entire match. And after the match I check their profile and it's very obvious they're VPNing from the other side of the world.
Can we look at implementing something to prevent this kind of behaviour. A ping limit on killer matchmaking? Ability to disconnect when the killer has a very poor connection? Something. I don't know, just anything.

If my memory is not wrong.
I remember that they said the game have it's own sever now, it is not a P2P connection anymore, so if anyone have a bad ping it will only effect themself (in your case ,it should only effect killer).
So maybe? you just really get hit ,really don't land the stun or maybe you have a bad ping either?

Your memory is right but your understanding is wrong.
The game is no longer P2P, but having a high ping as killer still provides an advantage. The other players won't lag due to the killer having a bad connection, but interactions between the killer and survivor are still affected. Hits, picking up survivors, etc. all jank out when the killer has a bad connection. This isn't my clip, but this is the kind of thing I'm talking about: https://www.tiktok.com/@obeseunicorn33/video/7355990532272721194

That's wrong, killers hit more ridiculous things at windows and with powers if their ping is bad. Of course they also teleport around, but because the game prefers the killers perspective on hits often it's actually insane how far they can hit you sometimes xD
The rule in general is that bad ping helps killers and good ping survivors xD

A ping limiter would be nice, but sadly it would kill the OCE player base because for some reason they insist on shoving us into random high ping servers :/

Yeah i agree. Fortunately i don't face VPNers very often but i agree that it is really comparable to cheating. Maybe with a 150+ ping you should not be able to queue up as killer…as survivor i don't care since all you do is handicapping yourself.
