There is a delay in damage and ability response (only for certain characters like moira's fade, but her other abilities work fine). It’s not input lag since the characters move and shoot immediately, but the damage to enemies is delayed. For instance, with roadhog, his shotgun fires right away, though the damage input lags. I don’t know what’s wrong? My PC and monitor are brand new. I’m just noting my specs in case.

I would refer to network problems too. Do you experience the same issue with bots or in the practice range?

In fact, it could be both. Based on testing, I experience around 52-54ms during games I play alone. This suggests the game might select server locations based on the first player's position or the optimal spot from the original players' game. Since I joined a random game with a lower ping (49ms max), I wonder if this pattern holds in solo modes too.

That's correct! It was due to my server being in Europe while I'm in Asia, which lowered my ping. Thank you for the assistance.
