Old news :p. They have new hardware in the works for the UI that should help with the delay on abilities and spells. Also they have yet to lower the GCD from 2s to 1.5s. Might help.

yea they Jc something or C something posted saying, the team has been kicking ass. Thank god thats the one thing killing the game imho.

All in all its a fuck load smoother pre release than Age of shitan was. So its pretty safe to assume, a decent experiance for a while.

September 15th is what I heard for Headstarts, not sure weather CE headstart is on the 14th and SE is on the 15th or if CE starts 15th and SE the day after but I believe it's one or the other.
