Player Reports Ellis 'Stuck' with High Latency

Steps to Reproduce

1. Best guess is latency-related, otherwise no idea, sorry.

Explanation

I've had Ellis get 'stuck' a few times, which was really confusing. I suspect it might be caused by latency (last time I saw it happen was playing with 160ish ping).

When it happens, attempting to call Ellis doesn't seem to work. If memory serves there's a little in-game error message about 'waiting for team' or something. It seems for a moment like it's going to work, but then she doesn't move and displays the error.

Importantly, Ellis is working correctly when this happens. The host and other players confirm that Ellis is moving and behaving as normal. It's only the afflicted player who sees her 'stuck' in an old location. I haven't been able to blindly-deposit in this state, but I haven't tested the ability thoroughly enough to be sure.

Loading into the next stage seems to resolve the issue.
