Your shields were melted "within seconds" ?

I don't mean to be mean here but I think you're imagining things, 75 HP shouldn't take long to melt.

That's easily less than half a second for R99. 1 single burst from a prowler deals 70 damage alone, 1 wingman headshot even with a purple helmet destroys that lvl 2 body. Etc etc.

I can go on and list examples, but the bottom line is that 75 HP isn't that much, and anyone hitting their shots will break that shield in a lot less than "seconds"

You can be killed by a single player in under 1 second in this game from 200ehp, discounting the Kraber. After you add in latency and reaction time you can feel like you instantly die. If you have more than 1 player shooting at you, you can instantly die.

We need a better internet infrastructure. Until then there is no fix for latency outside ping limits or lan gameplay. In a perfect world you should ping any location from any location with a maximum of 66.6ms, but things don't work like that.
