I aimed right at them but the shot missed in an online game

What you see on your screen is already a little old by the time your shot reaches the host, so the target has moved on. Fair games check the shot against where the target was when you pulled the trigger. Here is how far back to look, and the limit that stops fast connections from being punished.

Why this works

The shooter judges the hit by what their own screen showed, so fairness means judging by that same picture. Looking back in time gives the shooter what they saw, and the cap keeps the target from paying for someone else's slow link.

When not to use it

Skip it when shots are slow and dodgeable, such as big floating orbs, or in games where being hit behind cover feels unfair. Let the shot travel in the world and hit what it touches there.
