    P2P Connection is Great!

    Don't need dedicated servers because you P2P is so great. Look at this match and tell me how great it is. This guy was redbarred the whole time and would warp in and attack.

    After relooking at the video, I am wondering if this person was lag switching like people do in Destinys P2P to get advantage!

    Probably not lag switching it could be but I have seen this a couple times and the game actually crashed the session on one occasion it was so bad. P2P was a mistake from the start not only that but they way they did it by making all players a server instead of having a dedicated host is causing even more issues. The game for starters has an inherit lag of around 120ms (thats a lot when it comes to block and parry timing) this is with all things equal being PC's internet connection and the like. This number goes up dramatically when you start to add in variables like wifi users and different setups in hardware as well as ISP.

    This will come back to bite them hardcore if they ever want to make this game into an Esport period.
