I am at a loss how a player with the worst connection ends up dominating in PvP. I have played FPSs for years, and if you have a poor connection playing on a dedicated server your client can't keep up with the tick rate and you end up getting owned. With peer hosting in this game, it appears to be the opposite. What are the prerequisites that Bungie considers to match players? When it takes 4 melee attacks to kill a player, that tells me something isn't registering and the advantage seems to go to the player with the worst connection. Lag switching, packet flooding, whatever...there should be a mechanism which boots players from the game if their connection is sub par or eratic. Human reaction time is measured to the 1/1000th of a second. And to sit there and beat on a guy which takes almost 1 second per melee attack leaves you vulnerable and exposed for a longer period of time. So if there is just a sliver of red in the players ping meter, what does that translate into a delay in milliseconds? A respectable ping to the host for a FPS should be around 50ms or less...or am I out to lunch? The effect of these players ultimately makes it extremely frustrating for myself and obviously other players in PvP. The only reason I am posting here is because I have seen it too frequently these past couple of weeks for it to go unnoticed and unmentioned. It would be nice if the developers could comment on this please.

If they appear to teleport and don't or rarely take damage, and are easily able to damage you or you drop dead instantly, it's probably a lagswitch/intentional bad connection.

It's probably blink and invisiblity

Its probably a bad connection causing those problems, kinda happens when usa players land in matches with europeans etc. Its easy to detect a lagswitch as a lagswitch will only work with host & when he does it everyone will lag, a lagswitch just starves the users own connection when hes not host so its pointless using it. If you are able to move around the match perfectly fine yet other ppl are glitching then you are probably host & they are struggling on your connection. If you are rubberbanding around the map then you are either being lagswitched or the host has a garbage connection (there is a big difference between the 2 so you should know when you see it). Personally i think this is more of a connection quality problem than ppl cheating.

This is why I don't play crucible

People standing about, not taking damage, then they appear on the other side of the map and all of a sudden three people die. Had two in Crucible yesterday. It's pathetic.

There is a perk where a bladedancer can go invisible during arc blade.

It sounds like he was indeed using a lag switch. Hot tip - if you're on PS4 & suspect someone of doing this in the future, at the end of the round, hit that share button and upload the video to your PS4. Then you can go back & review it, plus you'll have their name for the report.

Player called scorpion with underscores and hyphens between letters lag switched 100%

I'm not sure anyone would go to the effort of lag switching as there's very little reward difference between winning and losing. My connection craps out after about 2 hours in Destiny regularly and I need to reset my router or all kinds of strange stuff happens.

If I run up to you and shotgun you in the head, but then miraculously you're behind me and kill me. I will report you every time. I'd rather send the report and let them figure it out. It's hard to tell in this game if it's just the terrible servers, or blatant cheating.
