My partner is oceanic and I’m in Europe. We used to play on NA so we got an even ping (he slightly higher but still playable). Now with the automatic ping system, sometimes one of us will get 300-400 ping, and the other will get their regions ping.
I rather sit in a longer Q during off hours to avoid getting into a game with 400 ping and be forced to just pick Torb and hammer my turret or Lucio with only heals on.
