I can tell an incoming zerg by my ping jumping to 800. I also have that amazing feature that lets me get up close to all enemy players without getting hurt and examine them and admire the character looks and all while they're just standing there not moving for whole ~5 minutes until I do finally get kicked to loading screen to log back dead.
Happens like every 10 minutes in Azura's primetime apparently. PC NA here.
My PvE is actually fine during that or any other time(usually) though, so there's that.
