They don't have an advantage as the lag you see against them is what they see against you. They're just used to having the lag because they always have it, so they usually win because they know how to deal with it better.
Laggers are actually at a permanent disadvantage as the 'eating' you experience sometimes is what they experience EVERYtime. Laggers have to lead shots/ shoot in places they are guessing you will go to as the delay is too great for them to be able to shoot at where you are. Their bullets also take longer to register than players who don't lag, so they have to play differently. As in they cant try and out spam someone as even if they shoot first with a faster gun, the player who isn't lagging will almost always win as every bullet from their gun will register instantly but the laggers bullets damage will delay a few seconds and by that time they are already dead.
It's hard enough for players with high ping to even be able to compete as it is, limiting the areas they can even play just makes it even more unfair for them. Especially as it isn't something that can be fixed.
Look at it this way, if you are playing any other game with multiple servers you always try to find one that has the lowest ping right? Because the game is harder to play if you have a high ping. Which is why if you are american you would play on an american server and not an asian/ australian server. Same for era just those players don't have a choice and are stuck with a high ping
