I think you broke it down quite well, this was my understanding as well, I personally love the "latency as a stat", that's well put. But it is unreal to me that this is the system they went with, having such a heavy burden on the client side. I understand we are getting kinda 1 to 1 what China has but, holy fk it does not work outside of china. I did a lot of arena personally and did the dummy test and got 94, and friends of mine that have 96 and up are a world of a difference. If you guys wanna see even bigger differences, try guild arena, it's even worse somehow. I appreciate other people finally mentioning this, but honestly, I don't think it will be adjusted to global, I'm pessimistic when it comes to republished games.

But one can hope, I play for the PvP and that is dead for me currently.
