Slowdown places win percentages less in the level camp and more in the skill camp 
pah! poppycock! rubbish!
You and your ilk would have us playing Mount & Blade chess.
The most fun I had was pre september, gen one around level 21 for the first time, with some useless points spent, a pilgrim disguise and a plain old katana. One could 'spam block' back then, even correcting an originally wrong block.
It seems running (athletics) has taken a hit, as well as jumping. Dodging missiles is of course a lot harder now, because the character is slightly above zombie speed.
Could we possibly try a fastest server?
Oh, and to all you mediocres who KEEP making this game slower with incessant nerfs and whines, DIE!
edit: I recall when 166 wpf was quick.
