I agree with CrimsonTider to an extent, though I have to say I believe ping has been getting worse recently. Could just be a coincidence of course but the more people we find to agree, the more support for this theory.

@JustG what are you smoking? Half a second=sudden death. 1,000 ping=SUDDEN DEATH. Lol see the difference? (just messin around of course) still I can't say I'm with you on that one JustG.
