this latency drop wasn't (really) due to improvements... they changed the formular of how your ping is calculated. before it was a full service ping: you -> server -> backend -> server -> you
Now it's the normal way to calculate a ping: you -> server (maybe backend as well)

they did some optimisation regarding network stability and stuff though...

I can tell a big difference. Now when I shoot someone I'm actually shooting them. I don't have to lead near as much as before.

When ping is over 180 melee is a joke. Doesn´t make sense at all. Slow melee or improve ping, but those 2 things together are breaking the game.

Cause if a strong attack cost 0,5 sec to charge, and we have 180 ms, i have only 0,3 sec to react against it. Reaction human time abut 0,3 sec... so no time to react.-..



Action Strong Attack--- to server--- 180 ms

Server to me-----180 ms

Time to react----- 300 ms

Me to server---- 180 ms

Time to proper counter --- 0, 76 secs.

Strong attack Charge time: 0,5 secs

My kick doesnt come in time..

EDIT: This is an explanation about how i see the melee, numbers are not exact. Just a way to express.

Here an example:

Enemy is attacking by fast attack followed by strong attack.

I see the fast attack, i call the kick, as the fast attack that i see is coming with lag, my kick is being triggered when his attack have been done, so i receive the fast attack, but while im kicking he land his strong attack.

So 0,3 sec of lag can cause a chain of deadly fails in the RPS melee system...making all the system useless and rage-inducer

Maybe it will help that time and FPS w Latency fixes will not be #8 and #10 in the wish list, way behind new cosmetics and plasma cannon nerfs like it was last time.
