I’m judging by time a 300ms lag shoots me around 1 second delay normally. This game it’s around 150ms that does it. Also played someone with a 80-90ms ping and was on the worse end of it and I had about 1/8-1/4 second delay. When stuck on this you’re right you’re the sucker. Spam anything for the most part and it will catch. Best thing experienced players can do is think so many moves ahead, but that is tiring and very risky at best.
That’s the problem why people won’t play it. Thing is this game has a rabid following to this very day. Also there are times when the lag is balanced and play is not all that bad, but for most cases the one sided lag happens more times then anything.
