@EA_Aljo It has nothing to do with our connection, I have 200 mbps internet and even streamers with way better computers than I have complain about input lag it is indeed built into the game

My biggest complaint is clicking on items only for a mouse and key players to swoop right in and snatch everything 2 seconds after I clicked them... on mouse and key there is no input lag but on controllers its terrible

That's often an indication of a connection issue. High speed is great, but that doesn't mean you have a perfectly stable connection. If you change your mind and want to rule out any connection issues, let me know. Otherwise, there's not much I can do to help. One thing that can contribute to input lag that isn't connection-related is the TV/monitor you're playing on. This is more prevalent with TVs though. You may want to look up the input delay for your model. If it has a game or low input lag mode, make sure that's enabled.

@EA_Aljo That is something I can partially believe, I don’t have a fancy monitor its just a cheap 32 inch tv I picked up from Walmart so I could see that being part of the issue visually but I don’t understand how it would be the issue if I can go onto mouse and key with no problems but use my controller and theres input lag

  Have you looked up what the input lag for that model TV is?
