It is a lot of fun, but the frequency at which the game forces you onto overseas servers is ridiculous. Open up the window with CTR + Shift + R to see your framerate and in game ping. This has been an issue during closed, stress test and now open beta and none of the cries to Blizzard have been addressed. There are many times where all 12 players in the game are from AU/NZ being forced to play at +200ms. Anecdotally, I played for several hours last night and only 1 game was played on a local server at around 60ms. Buyer beware.
