Blizzard does not care. even tried to explain it on twitter. middle east and europe do not go together. massive ping, arabic shouting. Homophobic ands fermale slurs. most of them on console use mouse and keyboard. i gave up and stopped playing

70 Ping? Id like that! Im living 300-400km away from EU servers (France) and get 80 ping, I used to get 8-20ping. You will say well thats your ISP, I got the highest package they offer⊠my ISP is Vodafone (UK company), they bought up the local provider and not investing in infrastructure, every year it gets worse, and they have a monopol on it. So maybe, just maybe, its bad Karma you are getting from the likes of me. Im looking at Starlink as an option atm.
Most of the Saudies have better internet over there anyway, direct lines to London, from there its 60-80 ping to Frankfurt that connects to FranceâŠ

I live in UAE, and have a 1Gbps fiber link to my home (800 AED - ~200 EUR a month) and also thinking of actually pre-ordering Starlink (as people are boasting about 40-70ms ping to anywhere in the world), for me, the delivery date is âsomewhere during 2024â, can you post an update or smth when you will get it? (as i am not sure whether it will help me to improve my situation, right now 140ms ping with huge jitter is just straight pain in the a** while playing on the ârealâ EU servers and not ME ones)
rofl. 200EUR? Here 1GB/s cost 15 EUR /month . Also internet speed will not lower your ping. Better connection, faster but ping will remain same, maybe few m/s lower.
Im a noob when it comes to these matters. Anyone know what makes a better ping to the servers?
With 1Gbps fiber and living close to the physical location of the servers, I cant get those ~20ms I see what content creators get. Whats the magic here?
Location. In simplist terms, the closer you are, the lower the ping.
If you want sub 20ms in EU. You need to be in either Amsterdam or Paris realistically. Maybe Dubai for the ME server.

What updates were you hoping for?
as there as so many complaints on twitter and reddit as well i was hoping for a reply from Blizzard
They just seem to address things in the dev updates now
So if thereâs nothing in there, they either havenât figured it out yet, or they think people are talking waffle
I miss the old FPS games where you had a list of servers and you see your ping to it then decide to join which. Also see the names of the players, if it was a bunch of asian characters, well it wasnt your world to be in.
I would love to see US servers, because they added the middle eastern region to it. I would pay to see that tbh.
That was good in games like BF4, where you were joining only âcustomâ lobbies, and there was no variant of SBMM involved.
Probably wouldnât work for OW (although, would be handy for workshop modes if it isnât already in place).
I would like to see them go back to being able to at least pick your region. But they did that to help each region during their quiet periods of the day (silly times in the morning).
Dude MM is biased as FFFF. Last 4 games only stacks, at least they had their fun right? They will keep playing OW, right? Might buy a skin or 2, right?
This game is done, probably was when OW2 got released. Im outta here. Have Fun
Biased to who. It has no idea who you are, nor does it care.
Stacks are allowed to play the game too. You can buy as many skins as you like, doesnât make a difference to the match maker. It just looks at MMR and plonks you in a lobby.
Enjoy your next chapter I guess then! (game isnât done, its quite healthy (even with its annoying faults)).
The problem is that the middle east problem is only affecting console eu, on pc or america the game is healthy indeed
I play pc, from EU, and get the GEN1 server occasionally.
More so when I duo with a friend from Finland. For whatever reason.
I donât really see the issue with ping. Yeah Iâd prefer lower. But the 60-70 I get on there is fine.
we should have the option to block
