In a world with Hitscan Weapons, why exactly is damage referee needed?

I have this one issue with damage referee and understanding it's raison d'être. Since we have hitscan weapons and I assume melees/abilities as well, what's the point of damage referee? As long as I hit the enemy on my screen, it doesn't matter how hard the enemy lags, the damage I do should be applied, which is the reason why hitscan is used. So why introduce damage referee?

  • First I've heard of this.... I don't read updates much.... But the lag causing damage to not be applied thing.... That happened to me earlier. On my screen I went and one shot killed someone right?.... Wrong.... It blipped and next thing I know they somehow survived my melee one shot and gave me a shotgun round to the face in under a second -_-
