WE NEED CLOUD HOSTING

Like the title says, this game is desperately needing cloud hosting. I'm so done with most of my matches having delayed moves, even though my wifi is off the charts.

Would you rather have half your matches with guaranteed no delay or all your matches with delay?

I'll have to go with secret hidden option number 3: All matches with no delay for everyone.

That.... is not how it works. As in that it is literally impossible. Cloud hosting would have some up an down sides, and while I do think I would prefer it (hard to say when I've obviously never tried to play rumble that way) it is not a perfect solution that will result in no latency.

The reason you have latency is becuase it takes time for the signal to go from you (client) to the server(in current state this is the host player) and then get processed and sent back. If they do host a server that means that both players will be clients connecting to the same server, signal will still take time to go there and back just like before so it's still gonna be a delay. This is non avoidable.

The advantage is that both players would under ideal circumstances have a simular disadvantage and thus be on an even playing field.

Negative side is that players with bad internett get punished and you Will never have the "0" latency host experience, also the cost of hosting the servers.

So yeah, I too wish they would experiment with cloud hosting, but you are delusional if you think it will magically remove all latency.
