@JeLezen Region lock makes no sense these days. you can have someone from half across the globe with a better ping than someone who lives close to the data center. Also, there are a lot of players with unstable connections, someone with a stable connection but high ping will appear smoother than someone experiencing ping spikes frequently.
Also, it's important to note that all the updates a player receives come from the server, so when something is not smooth, it can often be because of issues with the connection between that player and the server. That's why the spectate mode is not appropriate for judging someone's connection.
Last but not least, if you see player names with non-latin characters, never assume they're from far away. Anyone is free to use all characters allowed, even you can set yourself a Japanese player name if you wish so, while there can be foreigners playing from your region as well.
