HUGE Issue with Healing Items

Whenever I use a healing item in S17, I HAVE to wait a second or so AFTER the fact for the item to "apply". If I don't, it automatically acts like I never ever healed. This was a problem in previous ...

    @E9ine_AC Last Apex update seemed to have fixed both the healing issue and a frames issue I was having. (With the frames, if I look around too quickly, I lost frames and it was hard to do 180 turns and such. This seemed game related, and not related to updates such as graphics.)

This is a serious issue, I'm surprised no one else is complaining about it. Its really annoying finishing a healing item, going to move, and the game pretends I didn't use the healing item. It even does this with the audio:

Legend: Hold up, using a Phoenix kit...
*healing item finished being used sound*
Legend: One sec, using a Phoenix kit...

The Phoenix kit was JUST used, but the game doesn't care. In the video below, you can see it go from 0.2s and then it jumps to 9.9s when it starts to say "using a Phoenix kit" for the second time. I also tried repairing the game's files, clearing caches, etc. That doesn't fix the problem.

    Still having this problem, which is most likely caused by the servers not knowing who's doing what. I once again died to the ring because I used a syringe, it finished (with me still having health left to take ring damage to), and it just flat out goes: "nah, you didn't heal, so we're going to count that as a death".

    This honestly isn't even fair and wasn't even that big of an issue in previous seasons. Like S15, even in S13, it *sometimes* happened, like 1 in every 10 games. Now its almost every single game and is far more likely to happen when trying to heal during a fight.

      @Midnight9746 Can not say I have encountered that this season. Mind you ive only put in like 200 matches or so. I could see no one responding to the thread or more reports of it. I would think its quite an isolated issue due to not one speaking on it. I know you do not want the response I will give you but this seems to be something possibly on your end.
