Disadvantage on purpose?
I know this is gonna sound absurd to some people.. Why is it that opponents seem to move so quickly and fluently but it feels like I'm stuck in quicksand? How do they catch up to you so quickly whe...

Thank you for your reply. Yeah I know how crazy this sounds but I find it odd that some people have it easier than others. And I've never once seen a content creator or streamer experience these issues even when they purposely choose high ping servers.
I won't be posting a video as I know how that will go down lol. It's more something you need to "feel", but you can see it at times too.
I'm surprised at the replies myself 🙂
Thank you for your feedback and it's good to know I'm not the only one who feels this way.
@Sand_spitter I want to add one more thing and I want to know if it's the same with you.
whenever something like this happens, I mean something not normal doest always happens when you encounter a predator or a streamer?
I will give examples of what I have noticed.
as I said before, during CQC my opponent's movement suddenly accelerates, like WTF did that come from.
when am about to destroy one of these guys shots start to not register, and it happens so often I even lost count especially when using shotguns, it happened one time that three Consecutive shots not big registered, and a couple of time the weapon (EVA 8) stop shooting for a second that means one shot didn't go out from the gun and sure you can guess who my opponent was.
how many times you drop in an area with another team and sweep the whole floor trying to find a decent weapon other than a freaking mozam and P2020 but before you could find any you get destroyed by the best weapons and shields in the game which was just waiting for the other team, and again you can guess what kind of team was that.
man, even when dropping our of from ship the other team gets to the ground long before you get there even if you jump at the same exact moment, i call that rocket launcher jump.

On Thursday I think I had a lot of shots not register, emptied a whole clip from a Volt into a Caustic and it was as if nothing happened. I could specifically see that only about 1/3 of my shots registered. He shrugged it off and downed me like nothing. In a later game the same day the same thing happened while shooting at a Revenant. I just stopped using the Volt after that..
Well yes, to some extent I have experienced some of it. Sometimes it feels like I'm slowed down in CQC but the other team seems to be all over the place. And I sometimes wonder, you know those games where you just rip through a squad like it was nothing? Could it be that at that moment that squad was experiencing this exact same thing? So, makes you wonder, if that is true, how big of a role does your skill really play in the game? Did I win by merit or was it designed for me to win?
As for the loot, people will say it's just part of RNG. I'm not so sure that's the whole story. The other day I was losing match after match and couldn't even get a kill. The next match on drop I open a door and lo and behold there's golden armor, a r99 with a blue mag with a flatline I believe lying next to it, just waiting for me. The lobby was also considerably easier. So there's that... I can't be sure but it does sometimes feel like loot will spawn to my benefit or demise. The hardest lobbies will typically have the worst loot. It's random most of the time but every so often I wonder.
@maximas1986 I've noticed it happen a few times. I can't say whether they were a streamer or not very I've seen questionable connection/ server issues when facing champion squads. You appear to have slowed ever so slightly or they rotate, reload or fire faster. Shots won't register or if you're extremely lucky you might trade and you both get downed at the same time.There's been numerous matches back to back (playing ranked) tonight where whole areas have been trash loot. The RNG has been a complete joke. I don't get how you're supposed to compete when you have nothing (you might have one gun if you're lucky) vs a squad with purple shields with meta guns. Like they've all got some aggressive version of Lobas passive. It's always the champion squad or some kind of sweaty premade.
I have experienced "rocket launcher" jump myself but in all fairness if @Koochi-Q is JM it's very very rare that someone will beat us to the drop.
@hayhor I've seen sooxfar get melted numerous times and you can see him getting annoyed but its kinda refreshing to see it happen to them because you can emphasise. I saw it happen Rogue on twitch the other day and he's what currently ranked 5?@DoYaSeeMe I've noticed the input latency but ignored it and put it down to my control as I've also got quite a bad stick drift on my RS. The game must just think I love missing ziplines, having to press reload 3 times in a fight before anything actually happens or me having to frantically button bash to pick up the same items three times as they magically reappear back on the floor after being picked up..
- @GH0STEDbyME there is one more thing which I noticed recently during this season, during a fight while exchanging shot with your opponent and then when his health is low and gets few shots away from being knocked he freezes, I mean stop moving, stop shooting as he got disconnected but he's actually didn't.
I've seen happen so many times, I even saw my teammates freezing but he actually was moving around, and the way I was able to see it that I got killed so the camera moved up to bird view just before he gets killed as well, at that moment he was maneuvering to avoid shots but from where I was watching he was standing still for a second this is when the other team just finished him off.
I've seen my opponents get in the same situation and it's always happened before the killing shot, this is a very questionable situation.
how I can know that this not happening to me when suddenly I get melted even when I know that I was moving, strafing, crouching, and doing every move in the book to avoid this result but still when I get knocked I ask my self how the F did that happen and not to mention a start question every shot I fired and believe me I get shocked when I see the damage I did don't reflect the shots I fired and HIT- @maximas1986 I noticed it too! Was hoping to get a recording but didn't play this weekend and I rarely if ever record my matches anymore.
Happed twice to me so far. Guy was shooting me up, and I should've been dead but he just froze mid fight which gave me a chance to kill him.
