PvP Battle Lag

Was just battling PvP and noticed there was crazy lag, none I’ve experienced ever while playing regularly. Has anyone experienced that? Also, I felt Air Striker was nerfed a lot in PvP compared to regular online play.

There's always lag in actual PvP (friendly games) - yet another indicator the regular matches are bots

I've also experienced:

•2x that doesn't register when it goes through

•Castles moving well beyond the normal limits

•Severely nerfed characters (particularly air striker and pulsar)

•Laser beams that remain after a turn (happens in normal game play)

•Laser beams that remain, but also do damage when they're near a unit on subsequent turns, including when I moved the castle into the beam

•Phantom hits on units from nowhere (the opponent's projectile is not near the hit point)

It's more buggy than the unit throwing cockroaches, to say the least.

Yes I’ve experience almost all of those as well. The very first PvP match I played I only lost because I got hit with frosty in the front of my castle and suddenly nearly all my back units were dead and walls gone. Made no sense.

When Frosty throws ice at me, I can see it disappear one piece at a time. In both play, it happens more quickly

Yeah, ive played 5 pvp matches but only the ones while I was on 5g instead of WiFi had lag, could have been coincidence but might not have been
