Spreads can be a bit goofy because It becomes something like (Your Ping / 2) + (Their Ping / 2) at the moment the mechanic resolves unless one of you is standing still in which case the standing still player is removed from the equation, which can really make it feel mismatches.

The animation of a mechanic is not when the game decides you got hit. Once you understand this, dodging most things becomes VERY predictable in most cases.
its too hard for some people
