So if you are in the EU or elsewhere with a bad connection to SE's servers (even though your connection is fine to any other game), you should what? Stop playing endgame? Is that your solution? Either they should play endgame and may be handicapping 7 other people or they shouldn't and must be excluded from the game. You have a third way or is sarcasm your best answer?

If it was lag and not being a bad player, then tell him to move earlier from that spot, before the animation appears if needs be. That will solve it. That might take 2-3 runs to sink in. If you advised that and he wasn't doing it, then you shouldn't have waited so long to kick him. If you didn't advise that, well, your best help wasn't that good. Even a sound effect macro played 1 second before that one move that kept killing him was used would have been enough.

Bad connections can be compensated for given enough time and practice. Something you aren't prepared to grant.
