Lag due to Server Selector Changes

Good day , Since the recent season launched of Apex during the Second Split there was a change made to the Apex Server Selector - which is nice , but now we are forced into servers way outside of our geological regions forcing us into game lobby's with much higher ping/latency and lag - creating a very unplayable experience particularly those of us from Africa. 

already we play on 180ms - 220ms on a daily average on London / Frankfurt which is simply due to lack of servers within Africa Region. Dubai UAE servers are 120ms from us in South Africa , Zimbabwe , Botswana ect.. 

but now we are being forced into USA and other lobby servers that are way too laggy creating a very bad experience for gameplay whether its Pubs or Ranked. 

-can u please introduce a toggle or option to simply lock you into a single specific server region  EG: UK
Amsterdam ect..
Luxembourg, Luxembourg, LU, AS7979 Servers.com, Inc.
Amsterdam, North Holland, Netherlands, AS13213 UK-2 Limited

i dont want to be moved to Germany or USA servers. i only want to play in London. 

N.B.. can u please release a server(s) in Capetown - ZA SA region on AWS. the game has been released for way too long COD , Valorant , Battlefield and other AAA titles have got servers running in EC2 on AWS in South Africa. Please open some servers for us here.

  • they wont do anything about this, I play from AU and have to play on Singapore servers but most games since the end of last season and all for this season my pings been 20+ from already been on 90 ping, genuinely thinking of quitting after playing for 5 years straight. it went from some games with people teleporting and me having packet loss to now most games having way higher ping or just people straight up teleporting around. just ridiculous.
