simplified explanation:
bot's latency setting is the time the bot (host) wait till it will refresh everybodies gamestate. So a latency setting of 100ms means that the bot will wait for 100ms before sending out new gamestate data to all clients. While those 100ms the bot will recieve from every client data packets of their actions (like moving, weapon fire, etc).
All those data packet need time to be send, this time is known as ping (normaly it would be the time back and forth, but ghost standard setting are listpicker alike ping which are half pings
). That time (ping) will be added to everybodies action resulting in delay everybody has (more or less)
