Thank You Respawn

Since your last update, if the game was barely playable before, now its cemented. 

I don't know what you guys did with the merger of servers? 

I used to be on Oregon server 1 by default. There were 3 Oregon servers. I played the same hrs, daily with no issues, getting into matches between 10-30 seconds of wait time max, never more, for years. 

Now there is a US West, and a US East. By default I am placed in US West. for 3 days now, playing the same times as always, I can barely find a match. The day the update came out and the day after,  I waited up to a full hour without a match, watching the Q of players always get to 47, then immediately go back to 13. Once it reaches slowly 47, back to 23. Q won't go past 47. Two straight days without a match. 

Today I got three matches within 2 hrs only. All three matches has me in lobbies (in pubs) with the grey bar in the skill distribution from the far left, all the way to the far right, while my team bar is always at the very start of the far left. 

Why if you have merged servers, meaning there should be more players in the server than before - why am I not finding matches? Also, why are there always now Preds and Masters in my lobbies? 

What did you guys do??

Yes, I have reinstalled the game twice already, and still its the same. If I choose a different server with a ping of over 200, I can get matches within seconds. But US West is a complete right off!

  •  I actually have not been on this forum in probably a year but I came back today to complain about this new server crap. This game is almost unplayable. I was getting killed 10-15 steps past large rocks, building etc last night on Japanese servers with 130ms ping. I had issues on occasion before but nothing like I experienced last night. Unbelievable.

    I have never had an issue with finding matches...ever! 

    Since the update, there are now only 2 servers for all of the United States and I can't find matches. And when I finally get into one... Im placed against preds and masters. I would get the odd match like this once in a while before, but usually in the gold range, which is what I am, high gold player... never reached Plat before. 

    But since the update, only the highest tier lobbies are available and I have to wait now about 30 mins to get even that. 

    Again, only 2 servers for the United states... should be twice as many people in the server as before, which means buckets should be more accurate than before. But nope! This is insanity!

    I've had issues with my home servers being dead obviously (Australian servers). So I'd always migrate over to Singapore since it had the lowest ping (120ms). But since this change, not only has it been impossible to get a game lower than at least 160ms, but the errors have been awful and for some unknown reason it seems like aim assist has gotten stronger some how, since it seems like every server I get into now has only controller players and it takes longer to get into games. Where tf has the mnk and the rest of the playerbase gone? The funniest part about it is they still have AU servers but they're STILL DEAD. SO ONE OF THE 10 SEVERS LEFT IS USELESS!!

  • That sounds very frustrating. 

    This server merge should have on paper made matches quicker and skill buckets more accurate. How it has done the opposite is beyond me?
