Theres new lag and old lag. Old lag was back on cogmap 1 when the game would have a freeze everyone 10-20 seconds and for about a second, then you were back to smooth playing. New lag is just a single consistent slowness that doesnt come sporadically. Some people prefer the old lag, some people prefer the new.
Personally, i prefer the old. There was a period after the 510 lag fix was totally sorted out and the game seemed to run pretty smoothly with small bursts of lag, resembling old lag more, and that was great. Despite the movement rewrite allegedly fixing lag, the game sure has become infinitely less playable since then. Maybe there were some backend changes at the same time that havent been publicized, or something, but regardless i dont like playing nearly as much anymore.
