I found there's two types of PING in the game, making three types of lag.
1) Distance, the game runs fluidly but the delay between you two is extensive. I saw someone shooting at me, but they were shooting behind me, but the bullets still hit; This proves S4 League has an "Hit is a hit" type style. My PING is 200~300 average and I don't see people teleport (Though I often do notice others spiking)
2) Teleporter; You see this person spiking back and forth, or just teleporting out of no where.
3) The one PKay might have had-- The client stands still and you keep shooting them, but nothing happes. The person rarely moves too, but their PING is fine.
The third one I noticed is normally followed by a disconnection.
But if the person was #2, then you shouldn't bother with them.
If the person is #1, go for it.
#3, you're wasting bullets. The person will disconnect before they die.
The game has a bit of an intriguing lag system, really-- Being made up of those 3 types. I understand why the community wants an IP Ban, though-- Because some people really do spike badly (And this could be just because of their internet, not their distance; Evidence being myself.)
The thing with type #1 PING is a hit will be a hit, as stated. I've noticed people who occasionally run in the spot (Probably some packets being missed) and if I shoot that running-in-the-spot character, it still registers as a hit and the person dies.
Despite its lack of fluid controls and dodgy movements, I keep coming back to play a match or two a day.
I keep doing the same strategy of placing a Sentry in Negen 1's corner, then luring people in with a few shots then using Shield to cover my sentry and I, while I don't shoot (It wastes more SP if you shoot), to finish them off.
I did really well yesterday for some reason, acquiring an 43 / 4 in some High Way match. I couldn't place sentries down that often, but my shooting was superb.
