I will always stick by the same belief:
Lag is impossible to remove the way current online functionality works. It can be reduced, but never removed purely based on the mechanics of online connectivity. Until someone invents an entirely new method of networking, lag will always be present, and any attempt to fight it is an uphill and ultimately hopeless battle.
Sure we can reduce lag with things like region locking, meaning we are less
likely to encounter situations where lag will be a big factor, but it will always be a factor and even across the smallest of distances lag can still be very harsh. And at the same time, I've had matches with players in the UK and Japan that have been virtually lag-free. All region locking would do is make it so we get 60% less matches with 15% less chance of bad lag happening. (numbers are 100% made-up
)
Also, imagine all the Fight Clubs out there that would have to be broken up. (including ours
)
