@MandatoryIDtag the problem is, these players teleporting making it almost impossible to hit but at the same time, they still can hit every shot.
that doesn't seem to be right and such a situation should not even exist

@maximas1986 Would that not be simply down to the fact that lag compensation is in their favour though? We all witness this often enough when we're getting shot through cover etc.

@RockDokRock I was referring more to lag at their end than your own.

I'm not saying this 100% he reason, it was just a suggestion, but seeing as the OP is console I think, I do doubt it's anything more neferious, if it was a exploit it would be pretty common knowledge by now.

@MandatoryIDtag but if having this ( problem) can give the player an advantage and they keep it going, isn't that considered cheating?
so why it's not the other way around, if someone is lagging then they should be at a disadvantage so they are forced to fix it or find a solution other than keep going with it.
I remember in the old days ( black ops 1 ) as an example, if am lagging then there is no use of keep on going into matches as I will not be able to hit anyone so I fix the cause of this lag first so I don't get killed on my first encounter due to this lag.
isn't that how things should be?

  I think Apex is designed to be a super-fast game and sometimes internet traffic just isn't up to it. I don't think you can penalise a player because of poor traffic or servers.

    @maximas1986 essentially because respawn are all about inclusivity lol.
    I often joke I should downgrade my Internet package so I'm no longer handicapped. 😛
