Kill Switch update: We have temporarily Kill Switched the Forgotten Ruins Map due to an issue that causes players to become stuck in place. The Map will remain out of rotation until this is resolved.

Hello

I am running into too many high ping killers. We talking 300-180 constant hitting over windows when you already "Passed the danger zone".

For reference, 1 out of 3 games has a lagging red ICON killer. sometimes more!!!!

This is taking the fun out of the game for me and draining my patience. might end up going on another break from the game again……

Ps: im in Spain / Eu

    BHVR could easily fix this problem with ping limits in lobbies, but they’re made it very clear they’re not going to do that. They would rather have the revenue from people playing on servers thousands of miles away from their homes than ensure a fair player experience for those living near local servers. They won’t even show you pings in lobbies so you can decide before the match starts if you want to go against an unfair high ping killer or not.

    The hitting through windows is intentional, the Devs have adjusted it a few times. it's not always ping related, and oftentimes high ping Killers aren't doing it intentionally but because of bad connections.
