I didn't really want to make a post about this, but it's getting increasingly frustrating each time I play (I'm on console atm). I frequently run into players that are running 100 to 160+ ping consistently in dominion. When I face them throughout the course of the match, they have the obvious and unfair advantage of making their attacks faster due to lag. The dedicated servers were a big step, but this constant over 100 ping is unbearable. The fact that they can go the whole game (and pray they're not someone with 400 ms lights) and be continually spamming moves makes the game really boring and just based on pure guessing. The solution should be to lower the range that's set for kicking a player based on ping. It may seem harsh, but when the game is based around reaction and timing, every millisecond counts. It just isn't fair to those of us who have good connection but are on the receiving end of a laggy player.

Even if you lowered the auto kick, which is somewhere around 400-450 ping, it wouldn't solve the 100-150 ms ping issue, because you can't drop auto kick to be that low; too many players would get kicked because of lag spikes.
I agree about how hard it can be to react to someone with laggy internet though, me and a few friends ran into a shaman with 130+ ping a couple of days ago, she was the top player on the scoreboard because no one could consistently block her attacks, we had to start ganking her.
It may be just in my head but it feels like laggy players can't defend well either, playing passive against them is playing into their hands, you're better off using fast attacks and being agressive if possible.
