I literally blocked all middle east server IPs so I don’t get matched with imbecils that don’t bother speaking english and constantly throw and be toxic if they find out you’re not an arab and yet 4 comp games in a row all my teammates were from the middle east and threw all of them and lost. It’s so goddamn tiresome.

Blocking ME Servers will not stop those players from getting into other EU servers.

so the only solution to avoid this is to play on high ping US servers? great design blizz
Blizzard never has implemented a correct system that would make you avoid these users, it’s not that they have bad design it is just that it hasn’t been suggested.
literally every other competitive/esports game has designated Middle East servers except overwatch, what is the reason for that then?

Overwatch has designated ME servers, it’s just that there are issues with OW selecting ME users and putting them in those servers.
So what you’re saying is false since your thread itself already contradicts the statement of them not having ME servers.

The ME players not getting put in these servers is not specifically Blizzard their fault as it’s already pretty hard to target these users, not to mention their ISP can also have influence on this.
Also ME users can block these servers because of the lack of players on there, so it’s quite unfair to blame Blizzard here.
still don’t see how ME and EU servers can’t be separate, if the playerbase was really that declining I wouldn’t have a 5 stack full of arabs several games in a row, last time I played on ME servers I had the same ping as when I played US servers, there’s no way it’s a design/internet issue, it just looks like blizzard is too lazy to improve the matchmaking system to actually put the players in right servers and just places them based on rank regardless of connection, and as I’ve said I’ve never heard of a competitive game that doesn’t have separated ME and EU servers except Overwatch.
Well if it’s like that then i can’t specficially say they have bad design, rather lack design.
Sure it might not seem like the ME playerbase is small, though Queue times seem to be quite high or so i heard.
Of course we have these forums to suggest changes.
And well, since there hasn’t been a suggestion as far i’m aware of that suggests that they should seperate the ME and EU within the region select. Hence why it hasn’t been implemented.
