Finally read it. Interesting read. A lot I knew, somethings I learned.
Key thing was about tickrate not adding much for the slight increase in performance... So that’s too bad...
Only thing I have left to say is: SCREW HIGH PINGERS! Low ping rulez! Kick everyone who has high ping off a server! Let them play with other high pingers!
They should just do dynamic ping matchmaking. Europe has multiple data centers and most just connect to the one in their country or closest to that. Most internet from what I can tell from ppl living in other countries in EU is that internet is quite decent. There should be no way that someone in EU plays on a server with 200+ ping! This can only be the case if his/her internet sucks, he’s playing multiple countries away or his ISP has issues.
If this was rooted out and Apex would follow CoD’s matchmaking (not only SBMM but also connecting based on ping) then you’d have more ppl who share similar pings throughout so better experience all around.
In US/Asia this might be more difficult and there they can either try the same or keep it the way it is 😈
