Has Battlegrounds Got Worse Since the Last Update?

Was playing this morning, jumped into a solo random on a DK, got put in a Deathmatch. As seems to be the normal these day, I was on a 2-man team to start the match against two 4-man teams. Then the fun really began. Was in Eld Angavar, the Ayelid arena where you teleport down. Teleported down, woke up dead. Went down a second time, could not bar swap. Went down a third time, could bar swap but no magicka skills would fire. They worked upstairs, but not when it really mattered. For the remainder of the deathmatch, random skills just would not work; as in they were grayed out on the skills bar. Sometimes it was Execute, other times, it was Shattering Rocks, other times it was D-Swing. Potions? Forget about it. Really liked those, would take one, no effect, then die and hear the sound that I just took the potion as I revived. Then the capper, fight one guy, kill him, then suddenly have all my stats go to zero, see the player I killed is now at full health and my death recap has 3-4 different players killing me, despite seeing only one guy. And no, it wasn't a bunch of hidden nightblades. One was a templar using Jesus Beam, apparently that new invisible Jesus Beam.

Lag in Battlegrounds is absolutely inexcusable. Its 12 man content, just like a trial, except without adds, bosses, mechanics, or environmental issues. It should not lag at all. Yet, its still there, arguably worse than ever.
