If you play high ping (everything above 50) in my opinion rails are much easier to hit. Especially around 100 ping you often see this ping abuse rail only players. Easy way to deal damage if the opponent would be often already behind corners.
its hard to explain for not a native speaker. this is like combination of "redneck" and a man with bad manners. when someone type this when you switch to gauntlet after kill, its most likely a joke
Are you new to Quake? Ryder played absolutely brainlessly and only hit rails because of the netcode and there's not much anyone can do against that that. You're confusing hitting shots with skill.
