High Pings / Laggy Servers

I noticed that this whole year most of my matches were either laggy in general or having lagg spikes. It was really noticable during events, which we kinda had 24/7 this year. Pings are for whatever reasons between 80-300 and it just feels like the servers are dying. Has anyone else noticed this? Because gurl I already took 3 weeks off just to come back to another laggy event. Even the AI Snowmans look super desynced - like they movement with maybe 10 FPS its crazy.

    This poor fella had to play with +500ms ping.

    The event weirdly results in much higher ping, mine nearly doubles if I play the event mode.

    I decided to go back to regular matches as I was not getting anymore BP than normal matches (offerings apparently bugged?) and the higher ping makes it not worth playing the event mode at all.

    Yeah, and even weird moments where a vault action is completely cancelled out

    possible but i dose not matter. the ping limit is set by the devs. players play within the limits set by the devs.

    rizzo told me mandy is a dev (because she has a dev tag), so mandy can tell us why the ping limit is 2000ms and nothing more sane like 300ms.

    Yep, it seems like every single match my killers have 120-180 ms ping. Usually results in this.. Vault the window, huntress M1's me even though im 10 feet away. Honestly starting to with the Windows worked like Pallets to stop this stuff from happening.
