+1 for dummies trying to explain to other dummies.

There was an attempt to force a poe-style lockstep system on d2 where the game would force synchronization between player and server any time you tried to deal damage

Besides not even working most of the time, this meant that your character could not deal damage unless you were standing in range of the enemy on both client and server.

That meant that, for example, farcast did not work.
It also meant that whirlwind (which causes desync any time you chain multiple whirls together) would miss most of the attacks because the server and client never agree on where the barb is

The reason the barb is so desynced in the first place is because the client thinks there is supposed to be a pause in between actions. The game will allow you to chain whirls together without that lengthy pause, so the server was expecting you to start whirling at a different time than you actually do.

Additionally, if you have str bugged frw items (like up'd gores) or a str bugged enigma (or frw charms) your barb is desynced non-stop which just makes more and more attacks miss. With 400+ frw your barb would miss literally 100% of your hitchecks

A couple of the other annoying results from this were

shiver armor did zero damage while the sorc is wsging

Shiver armor did 0 damage to ww barbs using high enough frw

Blade sentinel basically did nothing for 6 months

Attacks with low range weapons like grief pb charge on dins, dragon claw on sins, wizzy kicks on sins and shapeshifters missed more because the client put the enemy out of range even when they were in range on the server

Wsg sometimes made projectiles miss even when they actually hit on the server

Snipa stopped applauding the lld poison dagger assassin build because it was unusable for 6 months

Funny enough, auto-tp hacks on dins mostly stopped working while they were desyncing using puddles. It didn't really affect anyone on east since most of our hack dins don't charge
