Leeway was in Vanilla but (Latency had a part)

So you believe that in vanilla you should be able to cast a spell on some1 who is 45 yards away from you.

No, your statements that 0ms and 0ms = 0yds leeway, is flat wrong.

A attacking B while both are moving, A has 2.66 yds of extra reach.

If A has 0ms they see the extra 2.66yds. If A has 300ms, it appears to them as if they’re attacking normally, because while B is an extra 2.66yds away from them, the latency makes them look in normal range, because they haven’t been told how far B moved yet.

The leeway is fixed. Your latency affects how it appears.

I’ve updated the original post in this thread with: “Melee leeway” is working as intended. After careful study and testing, we’ve found that for players with low latency, the state of melee leeway is how they would have experienced the game in 2006. There are more people with low latency now than there were in 2006, so we expect for some it might feel different, but it is working as expected.
