It was overtime on Lotus, score tied 11-11, and my Operator flick connected-at least it should have. On my screen the headshot registered clean, but the kill feed never showed it. Instead, my agent snapped back two full body lengths into the line of sight of their remaining duelist, and the ranked bar bled red. The killcam revealed the truth: on the server, I had never left cover. My ping had spiked from a steady 28 ms to 340 ms for three seconds, then normalized like nothing happened. That was the night I stopped blaming my ISP and started interrogating every piece of gear between my PC and the wall.
