Rubber banding

Rubber banding is the term applied to the event in which you travel to a point, and then shortly jump to a point a few seconds back. This may or may not be a result of lag, depending on the situation. It can be caused by lag, in which it will happen for seemingly no reason, however, when running, it may happen as a graphical glitch when the runner is caught in a group of enemies, also referred to as "body-blocking," and will run forward without realizing he is still stuck among a mob of monsters, and this occurrence is unrelated to lagging or latency.
