I'm playing on a fiber optic connection, my console is wired and on NAT type 1, and the matchmaking system cannot find me a lobby that doesn't have some sort of lag issues. In almost every match that i play i'm getting inconsistent hit detection, some players see me earlier than i see them, and i often find myself playing against people who are teleporting. On top of that, the netcode seems to reward you for having a terrible connection, playing against people who don't take damage is a constant problem. I'm not a top tier player, but apparently i'm good enough so that i have to play in lobbies that connect three continents in order to play against people who are of equal skill. If i party up with friends who are below average and therefore get matched into a bigger pool of available players the lag issues are still there, but most of the time they are a lot less severe. We are not going to get servers for a game that is at the end of its life cycle, but they could adjust the matchmaking to reduce the lag.
