Why do my opponents keep getting dozens of seconds added every game?? My Elo keeps dropping even for games I quite literally won. I’ve deleted and reinstalled the app but nothing fixes.

Do you know if they’re gonna work on fixing that at all? It doesn’t let you know it’s gonna be laggy and then drops your rating massively. It’s kinda heartbreaking tbh

I know there's ongoing work to use distributed servers and when that is fully live, members should hit a server geographically closer to them that should improve connectivity for many of the members.
