this is what we've done (or at least, attempted to).You could easily mimic the 'dodge' of spells/hits landing to make it 'feel' closer to the ancient 1.4/2.3/heroes files, you just need to check if the object being struck is actually in the original location of when the request was received.
felt much better in our testing when you'd pvp 1v1 against a warrior.. 1 walk pvp and other just holding shift
