Recent Laggy Gameplay

[mercenariez]

I've been playing this game since it was released. At first there was essentially no lag, but recently ridiculous things have been happening. For example, it once took 8 hits to kill with my Tentatek (no ink armour), and suddenly corpses are killing me after I splatted them 2 seconds ago.

Could this be due to the increase of players over time, demanding too much from their servers? Has anyone else noticed this change or is it just me?

(BTW I have an Ethernet adapter and fast internet so I know it's not on my end).

The game is strictly peer-to-peer, with servers used only for matchmaking and confirming results, so the most likely scenario is that you're running into more and more people with poor connections. The first game had this problem too.

I saw this a lot in the beginning and a bit during Splatfest but lately it's been ok
