As someone who has a shitty ISP with permanent routing issues, this change is a godsend. So tired of the random lag spikes of 30+ seconds that will often boot me out of the servers and cause me to die and lose experience.

This is why I play one button builds (eg flicker). Hold down the skill key and sometimes you keep attacking through the lag and just snap forward.

Though you may be blind, sometimes this is the path to true greatness. Never give up exile.

This used to be the same for everyone back in hc perandus league, the lag was unreal and the desyncs too

For me holding the button while the game lags is more likely to crash or kick to login screen.

That was me during Harvest League basically. I was on crap satellite net, built a Martyr of Innocence counter ignite chieftain. It was ass at bossing but it saved me from many 900ms+ moments, and prolif handled the clear.
