I don't play, but that's probably caused by users with potato connections or extremely high ping being allowed to connect to the server. Pretty common problem with online games.

Oh wow, so it has literally nothing to do with connecting players to the server or with each other? That is wild they wouldn't have spent the time to fix it given all the money it makes, but hardly surprising.
