Okay, so here is how delay looks on 2 points of views. Go to the bottom for a simpler version.
American
1. You see the delayer and you hit early to where the server will register their existence at that point of contact.
2. If you are next to the delayer and they swing, you are hit instantly.
Delayer
1. You see the american and you hit early to where they will go, so the hit can register when it gets to them.
2. If you are next to the american and they swing, you are hit instantly.
Pretty much both of you think the other one is living in the past, and you both have to swing early to make contact later on.
How can we correct those few seconds it takes, for the Delayer's present reality (which is in the future for them, but is in the past for us) to be our present reality (which is the past for them, but the present for us).
Example with a 2 second delayer
Is it possible to make the delayer see the screen 2 seconds after(our present to be their future, what they should be seeing).
What that will this cause?
1. It will correct their game and bring them to our reality, our present. So that we can see where they are really at.
2. They will still have to swing early in order to hit you, but you will see their swings, so make sure to not stay where they swung 2 seconds ago.
3. The American will have a huge advantage, because they have lower ms.
4. The Delayer would have to run as much as possible.
5. Everyone will be forced to have the cleanest connection possible, basically the lower your ms, the better chance you have.
American, how to fight delayer with this: You just rush them hard, and avoid going to areas where they swung a few seconds ago.
Delayer, how to fight with this: You swing early to areas, and force them to not go there. Hopefully they run into them.
Simpler Version, maybe
Okay, so you have 2 locations, Point(a) and point(b). You have two people, International(i) and USA(u).
(i) lives in point(a)
(u) lives in point(b)
It is August 18th for both (i) and (u)
Now, if it takes (i) to travel from (a) to (b) in 2 days from August the 18th, when will he arrive?
(i) will arrive on the 20th of August.
(u) on the 18th sees (i) arrive 2 days later on the 20th. (2 second delay)
If (i) is sent back two days in the past, starts his journey on the 16th, when will he arrive?
(i) will arrive on the 18th of August.
(u) on the 18th sees (i) arrive instantly. (Server transfers info to delayer 2 seconds later, to let them see where you really are, and causing you to see them where they really are)
Note: This Latency-Misplacement will only happen in battle arena, since events and such need to be real-time.
