Issues since the netcode patch

Since the May 5th update (season 2), the game has suddenly become increasingly frustrating to play.  I used to be about a 3 K/D now I'm barely scraping 1K/D.  Im nearly rank 360 so I have put time into this game, and I'm telling you the last 10 days or so playing this game has been a completely different experience for me compared to the release of the game.

I no longer have any reaction time, in one one of situations, it's like I'm stuck in mud. I feel slow and clumsy.  It doesn't matter if I have the advantage, I shoot before them, it seems like  they don't even see me sometimes (on my screen), and all of a sudden all of their bullets register at once and I'm dead. There is some kind of delay I'm getting now.

Last night for example Firestorm I was aiming out of a ground level window.... 2 people were crossing maybe 80-100 meters horizontally by. I have the clear advantage as only my upper body is showing, and that is a pretty good distance. I killed the first person, then the second person seemed to instantly turn, all the bullets hit me instantly and I'm dead. There is NO way from that distance he should be able to register all of those bullets in me, with most of my body behind cover and I literally couldn't even react? Sure maybe he got headshots. but being that i was pre-aimed, aiming right at him, I never even saw him turn or aim at me.....it was like he was running sideways, BOOM im dead.   

i think everyone has experience netcode issues, dying behind cover, or some of what i have explained. But its just constant for me now. Its a night and day different how the game played ebfore May 5th and after.

The netcode fix is supposed to give people more reaction time, its given me FAR less. Its like Im playing delayed all the time. I don't know why or how the changes are affecting me like this but its seriously making me not want to play anymore (I usually play nightly)

This update Im talking about was a week before the season 3 update.  Now with the new season 3 update with random recoil, thats certainly not making things any better.

I've searched online and Im not seeing anyone else having this big of an issue since that update, so just curious if anyone else out there is in the same boat? because as it stands, its not like EA will be making any changes to this and I feel like thats it for me and BF6, im just getting far to angry playing now!!

    Its not us.  My internet isn't the fasted 80Mmbps, but its stable, and my ping is usually among the lowest in the server.  You don't need superfast internet for MP games anyway. Just stable.

    This literally started for me on the may 5th netcode update.  Its been miserable playing every night since. Just getting sh*t on by players when I have the upper hand. I don't even see people looking my way or reacting then suddenly it all registered at once and I'm dead. Whats happening on my screen is delayed. The TTK is all messed up, Takes me longer to kill while peoples bullets all regerster on me instantly.  zero time to react even at great distances. Last night I just quit and I might not play again until tuesday to see if there is an update.

    Same here. I mostly just die instantly. It feels as if every bullet fired in my direction hits me—like getting instantly downed by a shotgun. I have absolutely no opportunity to react. I get lasered instantly by absolutely everyone and everything. My ping is at 13 ms, yet ever since the last update, I’ve been constantly seeing that "bad ping" icon displayed in the top-left corner—even though the scoreboard clearly shows 13 ms. Yesterday, I was shooting at someone from a distance 150 meters with my LMG; he suddenly spun around and instantly fired back at me—as if he knew exactly where I was the very second I opened fire—and killed me from a range of about 150 meters. It is incredibly frustrating and simply inexplicable. It certainly wasn't like this before. But I’ve also had people who suddenly ran off the road at lightning speed—almost as if the game were fast-forwarding. All of this has been happening since the update.
