i do it all the time now. rubber banding, put against enemies way better than me and not allowed to win twice in a row unless i grow an extra arm and have all 15 fingers on all 15 buttons. even losing in ow1 was fun because there were long, fun fights but in ow2 ESPECIALLY PUSH theres none of that, just a boring roll one way or the other
Not a confirmation, but I believe it is a bit of both.
if you have unstable connection, then to prevent players randomly skipping around in your screen, the game should try to “predict” where all the other players in the game are moving. But if the prediction fails for whatever reason you will get rubberbanding.
This is my understanding; and blizzard said that they were putting out a client side patch to help with rubberbanding, which I believe they have done, as for me, I havent seen it anymore.
While at the launch of ow2 i had it at times - while consistently having 10-20ms ping and no packet loss.

How’s that? I mean it is higher, but not by much at least for me. I’m getting ~36-40ish.
I was at about 30-35 ms, am usually at about 55-65 in ow2
Oh that’s weird. I guess it depends on the servers it picks probably. I used to be around 31 before the “OW2” update.
