High profile players like Ninja immediately complained or threatened to switch to other games, and the response clearly rang bells to get such a quick response.

Epic said yesterday that the change was made to level the differences caused by ping times, and make building more deliberate, instead of just allowing players to spam walls while under attack and turtle without taking damage. While the delay has been returned to 0.05 seconds, there is still a 0.15 second delay to replace a structure that was destroyed. Also, to help level out the differences between ping times, if two players attempt to place a piece in the same spot at the same time, the “winner” will be determined by a coin flip.
