Getting killed before animation

Initially, I thought that I wasn’t paying attention and that I was missing something but after the latest occurrence, I am certain. In offline mode, on a good PC, sometimes the damage gets delivered first and the animation plays second, giving no counterplay to the player.

It happened once in a Cemetery, at least once at the end of an echo chain where you fight a bunch of Omen champions and the last straw was a rift beast that I was wearing down easily until I suddenly died and the beast jumped at my location. Then the death recap windows said “pounce.”

I am not asking to make the change for me, I am just one player. However, with this issue existing, I don’t know if I can take this product seriously.
