The only thing I would add is that I believe laggers often do have a direct advantage against non-laggers in a 1-on-1 engagement. As you already described, I (a non-lagger) can be shooting at a lagger and hitting them right in the head, only for the game to realize the thing I'm shooting at isn't where it appears to be on my screen, therefore applying no damage. Meanwhile, the lagger is able to deal consistent damage to me. How exactly is this possible? I have no idea. Perhaps the lagger, despite their poor connection, is able to get a more accurate view of where I really am at all times thanks to my solid connection. Perhaps some laggers are able to receive game-state updates more frequently than they are able to send them out. I have no idea how it really works. All I know is that I'm able to win more 1v1 duels than I lose... but against laggers I almost always lose.
