I know from displaylag.com that Xbox Live has slightly better average latency (96 ms) than PSN (107 ms), but I wonder if the network differences account for our very different perceptions of how laggy the game is when we play PvP.

So: Please post if you think lag in Destiny's PvP is a problem, if so, how much of a problem it is for you, and which platform you play on.

Hardly ever see an issue on either.

I've noticed that very few matches in Trials have anyone at Green Bar on Xbox, but the lag is hardly noticeable most of the time, so it might just be a display thing (I'm always shown as yellow-red, despite my excellent connection). There are some truly bad games, though, but they're few and far between...

Iron Banner/Crucible has the rare laggy person or two, but it usually just means that somebody takes a second or two to die after they are sniped/shotgunned. Yeah, they might kill me too, but them's the breaks.

The worst lag that I've ever encountered was on PS4, though, when the entire enemy team was operating on another level of lag:

But that was such a freak occurence that I felt it was worth recording. 99.9% of the time, that doesn't happen. Not even half as bad as that.
