Please consider the indirect implications and not just the fact that some of you will get better ping ;-;

Option 1. The reasons have already been kinda hit in this thread, but I'll reiterate why.
As a US player, it's really hard for you to understand the shit that EU and AU players have to go through just to take a simple 1v1. Hits register slowly, arrows are delayed, and pots are god awful. Literally ever part of the game is changed - and don't get me wrong, it's not like EU doesn't bring up great pvpers in every part of the game, but they play differently and adapt. Lower-level players can't necessarily do that, and it must be really frustrating. I'm not EU, so I don't know first-hand, but that's my speculation.
The only problem I see is when Kit PvP regulars go to play a UHC or, more importantly, a tournament. If you are using the NA server for a tourney, EU players that have gotten used to the EU server will get totally fucked. You'll have top of the line pvpers go out in the first round, simply because they've lost their ability to adapt, even if only for a day. They've gotten so used to the low ping of the EU server that they forget how to adjust to the high ping, and they're out.

this post has been sitting here for like 4 hours waiting for another paragraph, but i lost my train of thought. That's all you get.

are you having fun describing ca lag?
