I’m tired of killers having an advantage when they have bad ping. Why does having more than 100 ping benefit the killer? It’s completely ridiculous and it makes me never want to switch away from killer. Please do something about this issue. Every time I press tab as a survivor the killer has over 100 ping and I already know I’m going to get hit through pallets and vaults that shouldn’t be hitting. Please address this issue. Because it IS AN ISSUE

    You can see their ping in the game now, just disconnect.

    Absolutely. We need server-sided hit authority, either doing hit reg itself or at least general hit validation on the servers. I suspect big part of the reason why we don't have that is that BHVR just does not want to put in the work to recode the hit reg system and to put that load on the servers/networking budget, where the server would then have to do hit calculations every time, processing, receiving and sending out more info, which would probably cost them more.

    But they should at the very least show killer ping in the lobby. If they don't want to show discrete ping because it could allow player identification to a degree, show indicators (e. g. green bar for <50ms, yellow for 50-90ms, red for >90ms). There are already ping indicators for laggy survivors in the lobby, and there used to be one for killers too that they've removed for some reason. Killers can also see survivor characters, items, even profiles, and use them to decide to dodge. But survivor players don't even get to see and decide to dodge based on the killer ping when the hit reg is killer client-sided…

    I might catch some flak from this, but there needs to be a ping limit (either in match or lobby) or let players queue for pings closer to their own.

    Despite this issue having been brought up many, many times on the forum, the devs have (to my knowledge) never mentioned it, so I assume they are never going to do anything about it.

    I was just in a game where the killer openly admitted to using a vpn so he could win more games with high ping. Devs you need to do something

    No you're right. Players with absurdly high ping shouldn't be able to join lobbies.
