I live on an island, Réunion, which is far away from pretty much everything. The closest server to me is in Singapore, so the lowest ping I can possibly get is usually around 130–140 ms. For me, 200 ms is normal, even if it is not for most other players.
I tried using fighter, but the same thing keeps happening: I counter, the killer hits me, I still take damage, and the killer does not get stunned. When I am the killer and I am chasing someone, even if the person is right in front of me and I press M1, they never get hit. I turned on hitbox display, and my hitbox is always behind me.
I would like to know if this is just a skill issue, or if my ping really affects gameplay?
(Right now, my average ping is around 290 ms. It often spikes to 350 ms, and sometimes it jumps to around 14,000 ms before dropping back to 500 ms. When I press Shift to sprint, it takes about one second before I actually start sprinting. Everyone starts walking in place, and then I suddenly get hit.)
