We need region lock or something to limit players way outside of EU region.

i don't understand how a chinese player can come and play in EU server when i can't go and joni theirs. it's very frustrated as from today i played with i chinese player who didn't seem to understand,speak nor respond to any of my questions today in London EU server. He as DC for 1 min and half since we dropepd from the ship. i would like to ask how is this possible for plyers like this to play on EU server with 0 comms and 0 undertstanding of english when they have their own resctricted servers to play on where oters can't join them? How i am suppose to win in SoloQ when i have players like this? 0 comms. 1 minute and half DC, 0 understanig of english and probably playing with 250 ping as you know how far chian is from EU and especially EU servers locations. i am saying this because as from EU i can go and play on NA servers. i will have mroe ping but i wont join theirs because we have our own servers. EA has to finally come up with something to make a change because i am started to get frustated when i play on EU server and there are only chinese or Russian players. i started to doubt if i am in the right server so i took a screenshot as well. Probably i should queue up in for Syndey Server in Australia then idk. Something has to be changed.

P.S. - This is not player shamnig as soem moderator will try to say from the picture i am showing an example of what happend in my game if that's unacceptable idk how you can provide honest up to date feedback of the situation and explaning it because this isnt the first time i am in this situtation.

    @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.

    @JeLezen I don't even like regionally locked content lol! I'd hate this. There is a ping system in place for a reason, tho it could use improvement. I don't even use mic much anymore. And if I play in a region where English is not the dominant language, I def don't use mic. Ping & hope they can understand.

    @JeLezen 

    Just so you know the pics provide absolutely no proof as to where that person was actually sitting. Could be they are two blocks away from you. 

    As for the communication gap as far as language goes, there is the ping system. 

    A simple solution for your problem would be to find people to play with as a premade 3 stack.

    Also and I do not think I am being to far fetched here but where is it stated anywhere that English or any other language is a requirement to play this game.
