Execution: "E" OR... oh wait (s)he is attacking you. | Forums

Greetings!

This might be another noob question, but whats up with getting an execute prompt, and yet getting attacked by the person I was supposed to execute?
I'm not saying it's happening in every match, but I've seen this a tad too much, I even have it on video it happening twice in row... Is this a cheat or what?
As you can see in the video, after the second occorrance I check the scoreboard only to see I have 16ms ping, and the person who avoided execution for the second time has 20ms, so it's not like one of us is lagging like crap...

it's either lag switch (so cheating) or unfortunate lag. In your example there is no indication of lag since the scoreboard displays good pings all across the board for everyone. But it is not easy to tell as one would have to look at more instances within that entire game to tell (scoreboard is not necessarily displaying the correct ping at the time). But from what I saw it looks fishy, very fishy. I would send it in as a player report.

It just looks like lag, how could you possibly determine that it is or isn't fishy, just sounds like arbitrary selectionism
