Locker grabs - despite jumping out in time

[Dr. Julius]

So let's say you jumpin a locker using Quick and Quiet or get slowly inside without the killer being that close and then jump out because you realise you have been spotted. In that instance the locker becomes in my games a a 'grab zone'. The animation of jumping out can already be over or I even start moving again but then get ported back inside the locker for the killer to get the grab.

Strangely enough, I have never seen it from a killer perspective. Either a surv gets out in time and you slash with your M1 or you grab them with no visible attempt to leave the locker.

Is this a latency issue or part of the game?

Pretty sure it’s because of dedicated servers, same way you sometimes get rewinded back to a window and hit after you’ve already run away from it

In this game the killer got the priority so if he press M1 while your animation isn't finished you are grab.
Lockers are useless now, even the jane perk is 50/50 too late your dead, too soon your dead.
It's called killer advantage, no one here would talk about it. But they can write you a book about imaginary impossible scenarios on survivors.

This is actually true, the servers use data from the killer’s client when processing things like hits or grabs, hence why you may see a huntress hatchet fly right past you yet you get injured, and many more examples.

Wait that is new to me. I thought after getting rid off the killer being the host, all players would be synced to one virtual game. So basically the old system got ported and made worse by putting in virtual servers and still prioritisng players? Lame >.<

Nope before the killer was host so he could lag switch to win when you almost escaped.
Now it's more vicious they are dedicated servers but the killer have the priority.
So you have to mind games everytime the killer for lockers.

Same for pallets and windows when you take the hit 2 meters away or more.

They make a choice : survivor solo will leave or join groups.
Groups can eat many nerfs before leave and they play together so they won't uninstall for nothing.
Killers are alone and love to complain so you have to favor them in order to keep them and the game alive.
One survivor can be remplaced not killer.
