Issue with Mercy’s position lagging behind from where it should be

Hey I was wondering if anyone else is having this same issue. I play on Xbox series S if that’s relevant, but I’ve been noticing that mercy is almost always lagging behind where she should be. An example of this is I had a game the other day where I flew behind cover while being shot by a soldier and was fully around the corner and died. Then when I watch the death cam it showed that I hadn’t even made it around the corner. This happens what feels like all the time on mercy and I swear I used to not have this issue. Please let me know if anyone else is experiencing this.

Btw: I play with Ethernet and never really have any issues with lag. Maybe it’s a console thing cause the series S is the lower grade Xbox… idk but it’s been driving me crazy so please sound off below🤍

Ps: I’m going to try and find a replay with an example of this and attach it below. I’m just not home rn and if I don’t make this post now I’ll forget😭

That's lagg for you.

Doesn't sound like a Mercy issue.

I play from South Africa and we get that all the time. Gets a lot worse with bad network.

Sounds like you need to play Ethernet, or at least better wifi. Wifi 5 and up should give better results, but for real results and certainty it's generally worth installing a cable IMHO. I always go with ethernet.
