@WhoopFighterYeah, I have the exact same issues as you, I first noticed them in season 20. It's interesting you mention there is some kind of lag compensation to benefit those with higher ping. Also, the movement does feel a little off as does the ways to land a shot.

I don't fully understand the issue with 20 tick servers, but I hope they can upgrade them eventually to be up with industry standards for fps games.

All online shooters have some sort of lag compensation, it's just that Respawn's philosophy was to try and make it "fair". Meaning, high ping players would have a "slight" advantage in some scenarios, while low ping in others.

Low ping players will have a peeker's advantage, you'll be able to see the enemy before they can see you, in most cases. High ping players will be able to damage you after you have taken cover. Your character model is still there, even though you turned around already and headed for cover.

So it's not that one has a clear advantage over the other, unless you are a very skilled player, having lower ping will be beneficial. It's more of a matter that it can make the game feel a lot less fair. Especially high ping players, that damage you before the game updates, so you stay in the fight, and then they damage you more, and all of a sudden you're downed. The game updated everything so closely together, you weren't able to read the situation accurately.

The higher a players ping, the more likely their connection isn't the most stable either. It's probably fluctuating a lot more than a lower latency player, which the server is going to have a harder time adjusting, especially when the tick rate 20hz. Which is an update every 50 ms, and that's abysmal for a shooter. Average reaction time for people is about 200-300ms, so if a packet or two gets lost, you are talking about 100ms of lost time to react. Pro athletes and gamers can have reaction times low as 150, but that's definitely not the average, nor is it something you can really improve on.
