It sucks, but I can understand why they do it. Playing against someone with such a high ping is a bit of an annoyance because the animation often only shows after he's already hit you, so blocking his attacks becomes difficult. Against people with 400 ping it's almost impossible to play comfortably.
o.O Woah, you should be getting sub-50 pings on local servers with spikes up to a 100 on bad days.
200 ping is what I get to UK servers on bad days. The rest of the time my pings to UK servers hover around 170-180.
