Compared to what, 4 hearts? Of course it is... Bad players would lose more consistently and good players would win more consistently.

I wasn't suggesting or agreeing that there should be more than 3 hearts, just commenting on them mentioning it. I think sparring is fine the way it is. With good comes bad, and I personally wouldn't want to sit through increased queue times and such. I wouldn't mind if they increased the shield level for faster movement speed though, I'm indifferent about that.

That just looks like Abood having a terrible lag spike though, not the server. Ion't think there's much to be done about that other than 100% serverside hit detection (which is cancer).
