Re: SBMM complainers...So how would your SBMM work then?

@E9ine_AC Ok that is interesting. This is an explanation that makes sense. I am on the West coast, there are four Oregon servers I think. Oregon 1 and 2, Oregon GCE 1 and 2. I don't know what the difference is but what you said might explain some of the things I have experienced.

However, I do ask, why do I have 90 ping in game when all the Oregon servers have about 20 ping, at least according to apex itself. I have a friend on the east coast I sometimes play R6 Siege with and when I host he always has 90-100 ping. Am I actually getting pulled to an east coast server? or is something else happening.

I would love to understand this phenomenon.

@Kateh8sapex That I cant explain im guessing the ping of their servers but your ping is being accounted into it as well making it greater. I am right beside Carolina one state over and im always recommended Virginia. Which is about 5 states away from me. It is weird how they have this set up as its not even placing people in correct part of the country for better pings. Virginia always beats out Carolina servers on ping. Yet is further away.
