@ReQzCS on twitter made an experiment showing what we are experiencing for a long time now: inhuman peeks by high ping players. He made the experiment by having 70 ping and the defender 14 ping. They recorded both POVs and synced them thanks to the in game timer.
More information in the original tweet: https://twitter.com/ReQzCS/status/1428707478901043205For those not aware, he's referencing turks because in EU, they often connect to servers in which they have high ping such as London, Paris or Frankfurt and that's when you face a ferrari peek Jett or Reyna. I can confirm this as I play on those servers with very low ping in Immortal 400 and having 80 ping players with peeks impossible to react to are totally inadequate for a competitive experience.
"No peeker's advantage" was promised by Riot when they revealed the game but almost nothing has been said or updated on this topic since then. Are there any plans to resolve this issue, or at least improve it as online gameplay can't be 100% perfect ? Having played CS for a long time, yes there's a peeker's advantage for higher ping players but it doesn't feel that bad in my opinion.

Riot should make the "remake" option last until round 2 or 3
