When i was having very laggy gameplay, I'd either...
- be killed really quick
- kill people really quick
I even managed to down someone with an ironsight longbow without leading my shot or accounting for lag.
When i downed people my guns felt hyperpowered.
Recently came back to Apex after being quit since season 2.
- 7ms to frankfurt servers.
- Plat IV on 3rd day of new season (almost totally diamond pred lobby
What I notice is:
- Being hit out of nowhere* when peeking...
- Suspect: they peeked but for some reason this info is not relayed to me yet.
- People kill me with havoc even though I got out of LoS really fast and there simply wasn't time; I did not hear them firing before getting line of sight to get to full speed either.
- Suspect: they get to see me and start firing way before I get to see them for some reason.
- Door... I get hit through doors that are already clearly closed, repeatedly, got PKed through a closed door while already using a shield cell last game.
- People have laggy motion, its impossible to hit them, yes if you shoot where they are right then as they lag, sure you hit them, but that's not how tracking and prediction in general works.
Hit reg: Lots of hit reg issues, more than when I quit even!
Consistent hit reg issue that happens all the time at 7ms: some one gets knocked, then 5 or 6 r99 bullets or 2-4 hemlock shots will thud, splatter but not do damage on the downed guy.
What happens on USA servers at 100ms-110ms:
I am the one who hits everything first, wins every peek, just makes it to shoot the guys running trying to close doors, easily, all the time, I can feel my enemies don't react as soon as I expect! I always have the upper hand, everything is easy mode.
And that is just with 100ms or so!
- I firmly believe that my 7ms frankfurt server ping works against me putting me at a disadvantage even vs other locals who have error checking on and get 40-50ms.
- I have never come across a game where lower lag appears to gives you such a clear disadvantage.
- Now I only play foreign servers.
- Occasionally I feel like the game is really hard, then I realise I forgot to change server before boot up.
The issue is not going to be solved by ping kick etc: the ideal ping will be whatever the absolute maximum allowed ping is, 100ms vs 7ms is already a huge deal, and even 30ms vs 7ms makes a difference.
