i think the problem is more that there’s some calculation that’s factoring in your downtime between maps. not necessarily with the kicker, but maybe even with the game itself… pings normally jump right after a switch but settle down after about 20 seconds or so. maybe if we toss in a 30 second grace period on map changes that would keep some of these kicks. i know i end up pinging 20+ after most map changes, compared to my usual 1-5
