[Gameplay] Visual lag vs. bots. Also pvp.net issues.

While playing vs. bots, I can play normally until any time a second player and a bot occupy the same screen, during which time I get (what I think is) incredible packet loss. Models move around, health bars go down when attacked... I don't know whether or not my abilities go off, but everyone glides around in their idle animation. Then there will be a brief moment of rubberbanding as everything goes off at once, followed by the game returning to normal, sometimes as many as 10 seconds after the initial problem.

This doesn't happen during PVP matches, but the fear it might always scares me away from playing after getting first win vs. bots for fear I'll ruin the game of others around me by being unable to respond.

It's not my computer, which runs normal matches fine and reports and FPS of over 60 the entire time, nor it is my internet because, as said before, there are no issues with PVP matches and other online games run optimally (or as optimally as they can on Hawaii lag...). It only happens during bot matches.

Unrelated (or possibly related) it takes a very long time for pvp.net to load any pages (profile page, store, special sale page) client side, and I will lose connection to chat randomly, but I can queue for games with little to no wait or issue... it confuses me.

Oh, and it still says you can report bugs from the client, but I can't seem to find that button. It seems not to exist anymore.
