Well I was running FSC today and I noticed that when zombies do their leap attack the damage appears to happen instantly upon the start of the animation. Everyone else in my party at the time was having this problem too, and I had a full 3 bars of connection while doing this run. So anyone else getting this? Was this just bad internet on my part? Stealth patch/buff? Any information concerning this is appreciated.
Glitch With Zombie Jump Attack?

It really feels glitchy.
Main
It really feels glitchy.
Main reason: Every other attack is indicated by some color flash... just the jump thing isn't.
So I take care a lot of the color flashes - more than of the animation... and so I usually do not notice the jump attack until it's too late.
Also I've had it that some zomb at the other end of the room was jumping towards me and I was already getting damage while the zomb didn't even start to jump yet.
Make zombs stronger? Ok I'm fine.... but this is just annoying, as it feels like... totally random and glitchy.

Try nitro. Looks and feels
Try nitro. Looks and feels incredibly buggy... even zombies that are hurled away in time seem to do damage a second later.
Same with vortex: Sometimes you just get damage for no apparent reason with all zombies unable to move.
From the feel of it, the damage seems to be some sort of invisible delayed ranged attack that can get out of sync with the actual zombie jump for various reasons...
Doesn't really make fsc or zombies more difficult, just a lot more annoying.
I heard it's just a buff, but at the same time, I really feel that at least shield bumping the attack should be allowed, because whenever I try instead I'm just taking damage (or my shield takes the hits if I'm blocking right). I don't have a huge problem with this if it's official, all I need to do is change my strategy if so. I'd still like to hear if it's a glitch or not.
