I've been experiencing similar stuff recently.
And not only from Hand Cannon users.

If I remember right it started to appear around the time when Igneous Hammer got released and haven't stopped since.
I'm pretty sure that it is not lag or at least not on my side.
Decided to finally post here because recently it started to happen very often.
For example:
Sometimes I'm Behind a wall and I suddenly get one tapped by X weapon.
1sec+ after my death often the person that killed me shows up on the screen sliding and shooting my corpse? Anyway I'm still 100% sure that its not me lagging.
I consider my connection way above average - Fiber 320mbps down and 220 up, worldwide usually around 20-40 MS response within Europe and like 80ms to usa.
.....
The other weird thing that I discovered is when you open your Resource monitor you will realize that the BASE Ping in every lobby appears to be like 200 or so.
Don't rly know how the actual connections works. As far as the information I found online I've came to the conclusion that its mainly p2p based so that should mean - if someone is lagging that's bad connection between me and him as I can tell.
But here We are not talking about lag for sure.
I've been a victim of such bull**** not once not twice but every day constantly.
In every second lobby there is at least one player that does that to me.
To me It's either hack or glitch or a mix of both.
