Before the patch today everything was fine and playable and with the update the latency jumped to 200+ ms. Arcade, Skirmish and QP is fine it is just comp that became unplayable.
Can you do anything right?

Confirmed. Also there are a couple of other posts saying the same thing.

Same here. 200+ms and everyone is warping around the screen making the game completely unplayable. It was not like this around 8 hours ago when I last played.

Same 200-300ms totally unplayable. Everyone is flickering around.
Oh forgot to mention it lags both on PS4 and PS5 after the update
I am also getting the 250ms lag and rubberbanding now - tried a comp game and everyone else had it too!

Same here and I even suspected what the symptom was considering the pal I was duoing with had the same exact issue (albeit with their usual extra ping because of geography), last comp match I tried to play my side got completely crushed because we literally couldn’t really do anything with approx 250-300ms across the board.
For whatever reason the matchmaking system is pointing EU players onto US/Far East Asian servers at least on Competitive Play which…just should not happen.
Edit: Joined a QP queue and the match I got into was an IP match for US servers allocated to Blizzard…so something is 100% wrong right now since that patch.

Playing completely fine with no problems. A message popped up when I came out of a game asking me to update to the latest version, so I did. I was averaging 30ms before the patch, now I’m getting a minimum of 260ms. What’s going on? I second what others are saying, it’s unplayable! I’ve just checked and I’m getting put in to US servers.
Yeah its very strange since the patch for me, people skipping/ghosting about, if someone was to move to the side I’d see like 2-3 ghosts of them following. - In QP and Arcade.

Turns out the game connected me to Singapore servers for some reason…
When in game press CTRL SHIFT N to bring up a console. In there the top left corner writes your server in brackets. Mine shows as [gsg] for example.
| CODE | Datacenter Location |
|---|---|
| LAX1 | US West - Los Angeles |
| ORD1 | US Central - Chicago |
| GRB1 | Brazil 2 - Rio De Janiero |
| SYD2 | Australia 3 - Sydney |
| GTK1 | Japan 2 - Tokyo |
| GSG1 | Signapore 2 - Signapore |
| ICN1 | South Korea - Seoul |
| CDG1 | France - Versalles |
| AMS1 | Netherlands - Amsterdam |
| MES1 | Bahrain - Manama |
Game is unplayable after the latest patch. 250+ latency.
I usually get connected to LAX1 but in my qp game I got connected to MES1 in Bahrain. Everyone else in that game was experiencing the same 250+ latency
Same here. QP was fine but comp was unplayable.
Amazing how blizzard does this, doesnt close the servers and i just got conected to TOKYO SERVER. Are you going to refund me the game you made me loose because you didnt closed the servers?
I used an IP location locator and Ctrl shift N and my last games have been: Germany, Bahrain, Los Angeles, and Tokyo.
I’ve also been having like 12-15% packet loss.
I’m in London, UK
Playing Amsterdam server now and its fine.
Same for me, I’m in EU.
I get 200 Pings every single Game (Competitve).
Every round i ask other players about their Pings, every says they have 200ms Pings.
Even US Players (Look twitch) get 150-200 Pings.
My guess:
EU Comp. Players get connected to US Servers.
US Comp. Players get connected to EU Servers.
Im EU and im conecting to Brasil and Tokyo. My guess they disable geolocation.
same here 200-300ms
