Depends on the kits you're playing. f.e. lagging in Archer is a disadvantage because your bow is delayed. But in kits like diamond it can be an advantage, because you take delayed KB so it's easier to presure your opponent.

It also depends on your opponent. If the someone is used to being laggy he could probably beat you in every single ladder,
but if someone is used to having good ping he is probably just gonna die everytime he starts lagging/gets high ping.

Well, let's not talk about a "little lag"; players with 0ms-30ms and 200ms-+200ms get an advantage but it's more about melee. Let me explain this:
In my experience i can tell players with high ping (150ms average) need to learn to play by a different way than players with low ping (50ms-40ms average), it happens because ping makes you get delayed hits if laggy, but you need to strafe a lot to combo someone with at least 60ms than you, but if you've low ping you literaly can just blockhit straight and will have a bigger advantage. I know that doesn'r really make sense for some of yours but (for example) in the soup leaderboards it's something pretty usual to happen: Most of tops literally don't seem to have A and D keys and the don't even W-Tap in some cases, but in my case (My ping ramdomly goes from 130ms to 200ms), i can tell you that it's impossible to go straight and get a combo, there's a big need to strafe pretty hard to get combos.
Well,that's actually why "lag" (most of players with low ping use to call laggers anyone with +130ms) isn't an advantage, it's more about skill needed to play with an specyfic latency.

With the currect KB it really is a big advantage
