OMG! This change will kill the game for me. I used to spend way too much time on this, but now each game takes absolutely ages.
In trying out the change, I bothered to beat Octopus in Dungeons, but it's going to take me forever to get through my first PvP in Tower. I'm part way through it and I'm bored out of my mind.
I'll check in again in a few days to see if the game is somewhat back to playable, but otherwise I'm out.
