All I know is... I came to an NA world (with servers in Montreal -- a mere 8 hour drive from my house) to be able to stop dealing with this. In 1.0, I had a lot of latency issues because I'm on the East Coast and my ISP is not so great. Now, I am connected to servers that are in Montreal and I STILL have issues. I could say it's 'just me', but when other people are consistently getting hit too (even when I know they are skilled players), it's just super frustrating. We can't ALL be bad. The mechanics are simple enough. Do Titan a handful of times and you know how they work. The problem is, the server and the client aren't communicating well enough. Sometimes I'll avoid it when it seems like I narrowly missed it. Other times, I won't avoid it when it seems like I had PLENTY of time to get out. There seems to be no rhyme or reason when the game decides you are going to get hit by something. Sometimes you do, and sometimes you don't. I would really like it if I could get out of things when I know I run out of them. Nothing is more frustrating than knowing you are avoiding things only to have them blow up in your face... especially when you left your entire LS behind to come to an NA server so that you didn't have to deal with these problems anymore.
