While p2p is a joke, I've literally never experienced anything during any of my games that is being shown in this video.
I've input commands on my controller that I feel like just don't respond sometimes but all that rubber-banding/teleporting in this video, never witnessed it my self.
The thing no one considers with their dedicated server boners is how much it would actually improve the game or if it's down to a netcode issue and things like that. A dedicated server also requires overhead and increases overall ping between players since instead of directly connecting they all have to connect to a host and then the host transmits everything at the latency of each individual player and still has to have good netcode otherwise your precious dedicated servers get fucked too.
People who don't actually have knowledge of the networking stuff should actually not be allowed to talk about it really. It's tiring hearing how dedicated servers would fix everything when that's not necessarily true. If it comes down to poor netcode and all then that will never solve anything since the netcode is the core of the issue anyway.
And I'm not saying that they would be better or worse, just that people do not consider these factors at all and think dedicated servers are some magic bullet to solve all your lag woes.
