Re: Matchmaker Placing Into Different Server

@Pallo420 I often notice the latency fluctuating between matches, as the names of my opponents and teammates change from scandinavian (~30ms ping) to french/spanish/german (~60ms) to russian/slavic (~90ms) to turkish/arabic (120+ms), and the game experience degrades accordingly, with sudden death hits, getting hit around corners, hits not registering etc. etc.
Is the player base really this depleted..?

@EryxApex The skill based matchmaking is the main culprit along with a lack of players. The matchmaker thinks it wise to quadruple the latency of several players so that it is a "fair" match. Like you mentioned as well, the game degrades heavily when you have a higher than average latency.
Basically random for who wins matches now, and mainly because they had the lowest latency. I really hope this issue is removed or at least enough players on each server to have fair matches.
