Anyone else getting melted faster this season?

I just came back after another break to check out Ash and the new map, and almost every game I've played has had someone or multiple people in the same match just melt my shields and health off in le...

Sounds more like the reason this is happening is because of lag/ping/de-sync issues. 

I'm noticing this too when I switch to a server further away. I had to since the closest one to me is down atm, but the game is unplayable this way so I gave up. 

What you see happening on your end is not what is happening in real time. That's why you get insta melted before even having time to respond. What you see has already happened and you are basically trying to catch up to it in vain. Are you getting shot from behind cover? Are you still taking full damage while strafing? Then your game is out of sync which means you can't trust anything you see on your screen.

@Sand_spitter My internet has never been the best, so I've ran into issues like that before, but something about this season feels...odd? I know they're trying to improve the servers, so maybe something they're working on is causing more de-sync or whatever? IDK

I will say I have seen a lot of other people I follow on Youtube and Twitch also just getting melted more often lately, but again, IDK.

        Yes, that's how I feel about it too. Either you have opponents who can't do anything, or you're dead within half a second. Everything in between doesn't exist anymore. However... I must also say that I very often get 1-2 shots off, and in the overview it was not 1-2 but 15-20. So Super Bullets... a data packet from the server with 15 hits... you do nothing against.

        But when you watch these experts after your own death... 180° turn with instand enemy marker, on far away enemies, people never looked in this direction before. And similar... Let's put it this way... in the Public the density of honest players is currently not very high.
