The only thing I truly want to see gone in TBC is Leeway and Spell batching

There is no spell batching in “modern” wow

@Kaivax

While we never really eliminated spell batching in WoW, we did change how (and how often) we process batches of actions coming from players, so you’re less likely to notice that processing in today’s game.

As far as I know Spell Batching and Leeway were Artificially made up by Blizzard to simulate 2004 Vanilla WoW gameplay and server/connection lag.

You can go onto retail right now and confirm leeway exists in 30 seconds. Get a friend, have them stand against a wall while dueling you. Attack them from max range and then have them start running against the wall while you strafe back and forth and your melee range will increase.

Here’s an example I found on youtube:

Spell or ability leeway also exists on Modern WoW (video creator mistakenly calls it melee leeway in this video:
