Standing out of the red, and still getting hit

[Kenka]

UK Player here and never had a problem avoiding AOE attacks, except when it's my own fault, so I think this is not the case :s

Another EU here. I can say that latency DOES play a non-negligible factor here. Depending on the time of the day (the quality of my internet connection varies greatly from time to time...) I can dodge AoEs easily or I get hit even when apparently I'm several yalms out of the red circles.

Quick reflexes are a must to avoid AoEs. Sadly, reflexes alone do not guarantee your safety :/
