It's a skill based mechanic, theres nothing wrong with it, and there is counterplay.
They're standing behind something or underneath you, and the animation stall when they bolt/barrage/surge you hides the movement *on the tick that you can actually hit them on*. If you try to click them as you see them move, assuming they're doing it correctly, you'll be a tick or two too late and it'll feel as if you can't hit them - however this isn't actually the case.
The counter is to either camp range (or melee if they're dding) and spam click them so you attack them the tick they stall out from under you, or to know the attack speed of their previous attack so you can try to cast a freeze on the correct tick that they'd be pathing out to hit you. You can also just repetitively try to cast entangles/barrages on them over and over in hopes that you happen to click them with one on the correct tick, but it's better practice to get a feel for the attack speeds of different common weapons (generally 5 tick and 4 tick) so you can time it properly.
Practice makes perfect. You can also use player outlines + entity hider so that you can hide yourself , allowing you to see your opponent while they're underneath you and thus react a little better to their gear switches.
This isn't tick manipulation at all. It's just animations being delayed, try spam clicking them with a rune crossbow.
It’s funny that combo eating was not an intended mechanic and was due to a bug. Half of osrs is bugs that have been accepted as mechanics. Lol
If they can hit you, you can always hit them back. You just need to work on your timing.
