Server Ping/Latency
Sick of getting into servers where they are from India etc and im on my Eastern US server WHERE I LIVE. Guy is doing nothing but lagging back and fourth cant hit him. this is been the same crap sinc...
Legends run at around 7/4m.s, sliding, Octane's stim, Bangalore's double time and Bloodhound's beast of the hunt modes bring that speed to 10-11m/s, while Pathfinder's grapple slingshot probably exceeds 13-14 m/s. This means that, at 100 ms delay, you can be up to 1.5-2m behind on the server from the position you actually see on your device. This insane speed that we like will still raise issues even if a cap would be placed at 100ms.
Then, lag spikes happen more often than you think, even on great connections. I don't think players want to be spit out of the match every time someone "steps" on the cable. Also, few of us would want even more teammates disappearing, we already have too many leavers. There are a lot of people with unstable connections, as they have many devices connected or go wireless because they need the freedom from the cables. A strict lag cap could probably affect millions of Apex players, potentially killing the game.
"I have a good connection, it's the netcode that's at fault". Reality:
