Why is VSA so broken after the update?

I know I’m not the only user to post about this, but we’re more than three weeks into life post-update and VSA continues to be a mess. Why?

One second I’m showing a decent connection (my ping is usually around 20ms-24ms), but the next I’ll be in the orange or red. During one VSA match, almost every possession feels different with poor network connection warnings going off left and right and wreaking havoc with both the display and the feel of gameplay. It’s a total nightmare to try and play, especially with the increased randomness (heavy touches, inaccurate shots, etc.) the update introduced to VSA.

VSA is the most basic, most stripped down version of head-to-head play. It used to perform smoothly (dare I say nearly flawlessly?). So what the heck happened, and why hasn’t it been fixed all these weeks later???
