This has been one of my arguments since early on and i'm glad they are adding a slider for it. I want the game to be challenging but theres a line i draw at the time a game will make me waste for a mistake. Right now if you calculate the time required to regain 5% of skills from a single death when your mid/late game and in that 50+ range on alot of skills...the time investment its penalizing you with is ridiculous.

But as someone said the new settings will help with this. People will be able to play more along to the difficulty that they feel is right for them. Hardcore people who think its okay to lose hours worth of work to a lag death can keep right along with that 5% penalty lol.
