but the same point applies without lag comp the lowest ping would win everything and that isnt fair either.
Slightly controversial viewpoint on these forums but i would rather play with lag comp on consoles than without
You have a tainted view of what "fair" is.
Host advantage only gives one guy the advantage. No body is artificially made to play worse.
With the current setup, Everyone but the guy with the bad lag IS artificially given a distinct disadvantage, the host more than anyone.
That's the principle and the effect behind the current set up, to lobotomize smart people to allow the mentally retarded to rule the world.
Cruel and unusual, if ever there was the perfect time to use that phrase, it's here and now.
I'd rather one guy have a natural advantage, than have the other 11 people be intentionally and artifically hobbled to bring a terminally sick view of "fairness" to the game.
It's no different from playing on a ded server, and the guy who runs it has advantage because he lives one building over from where it's hosted.
And this coming from a guy who never gets host, so it's not a rational justification to regain my privelage.
Forced and manipulated "fairness" that limits more than it helps is not fair at all.
Cutting the legs offf of all the tall people to make the short people feel better is not fair.
You may want to get yoru head examined.
