Not really. It makes no difference for the server if he handle a request via gateway or server and the fact that we still have a low to none backlog in Zax determines that they can't bot ingame properly.
Platypus wielding a giant hammer, your argument is invalild!
Maybe it's something inbetween the user and the game server. I know in HoTS (hero of the storm), people were getting major lag/spikes connecting to the ORD1 server. It was because of a hop inbetween the user and the game server.
How did this get labeled as answered? There is no answer beyond people speculating that it has something to do with botters and then everyone got to circlejerking about botters. No official explanation at all.
