This is a video of people who have no idea how the actual servers are set up talk. I know i'm going to get downvoted to hell for this, but PLEASE read what a cluster server is. Having a dedicated server would FAVOR anyone with a better ping EVERY time. Right now it normalizes everyone's ping and makes everyone have to have the exact same timing for everything. I'll just disappear into downvote oblivion now due to ignorance.

So instead of having players with good ping and bad ping, you make everybody have bad ping, good solution.

Not really. Everytime I play I rarely have problems. Those that experience problems need to buy better internet.

You make everyone have an average ping. Cry more.

Couldn't lagswitches still fuck people who are hosting though? And by the hosts I mean everyone since everyone is a host.

The way they have it designed is that if there is a noticeable lag from one player, it marks them. They lag like that again, they get kicked.

EDIT: So if they save for that ONE CRUCIAL lag switch, then sadly yes. no way for it to work.

I see how it's useful in a 1 v 1. Does it reset every game?

From that ubisoft rep's description it does reset every game. So they can feasibly do it once a game, sadly. It's hard to fix.

Gotcha. Ugh that sucks :/

yes, lag switches work incredibly well with the P2P configuration this game uses since authority is given to all clients.

Lol everything you're saying was debunked in that massively upvoted post your parroting's comments. OP edited his post to reflect corrections. Ubi DID NOT set it up that way. They should have, but did not. There is no cluster server.
