Have had lag? getting laggier?

I'm hoping this isn't just me...But has anyone else seen increased lag with each update.
I've noticed this a lot in Lockdown, and a little in the Clockworks. I used to be about average in lockdown, but now with all the lag I get I can barely get 5 kills, if that.
On top of that, I get almost the exact same amount of lag on High quality setting as i do Low quality..which is well...confusing.
anyone else having issues like mine?

Definitely seems true
Basically the same thing as first post as in both frames and lag equally, either that
or my computer is simply equal to the power of a garbage can. Speaking of that, a friend of mine
runs using their laptop with lower specs, yet they have smoother speed than I do.

There's been two updates where the latency/lag has been noticeably worse for me.
The first one had me start playing SK on my computer since my laptop couldn't handle the lag.
Now the latest patch has me lagging more on my computer. Lockdown has been difficult due to this.
But for your question, my answer would be yes. The lag gets significantly worse on certain updates (at least it does for me).
Must be all those Brandish charges, messin' up the server. :D

same here
I've noticed that lag/latency did increase recently. Since I didn't use to have such huge latency in lockdown, now it's mostly unplayable - I get killed before I can see that. Also doing Roarmulus Twins run is not possible anymore and dong FSC run has become much more laggier too. I get 3-4 connection bars and yet latency is very high. On the other hand, my friend gets even worse lags than I do. She didn't use to have them too. While doing shadow FSC run she got such a huge latency that she just kept ending up in lava or fire and dying - then game just automatically kicked her out and that was a pretty good sum of crowns wasted.
Overall, we do experience much bigger lag/latency than we would a week ago.

For me after recent upgrades
For me after recent upgrades lags are getting worse and worse, at some time i have several DCes without any reason. Also it seems that EU servers are just piece of crap. When they first introduced them i had always 3-4 bars. Now even if im still on EU servers i have 2 and sometimes 1 bar Oo This is pathetic. I also noticed that i have better game preformance on US server.
It seems that OOO just opened those EU servers to make us shut and stop complaining but really they dont even care for maintaining them and keeping at good health.

I've played on the EU servers
I've played on the EU servers since they were introduced and never had less than 4 bars on them unless my own connection messed up (i.e. i saw a raise of ping to local servers). I don't see any raise in latency either.
For an online game, lag usually refers to latency, the time required for data to reach your computer from the server. Graphics settings affects the frame rate, the number of times the screen gets refreshed in a second.
Since lowering your graphics settings have no effect, it's latency you're talking about.
