Ping-Based Matchmaking Option to Ensure Fair Latency (±5 ms Difference)

I’d like to suggest a new optional matchmaking setting that relies only on ping difference between players. The idea is simple: before creating a match, the system checks ping for both sides, and it only matches players when the ping difference is within ±5 ms. You already have the “Nearby Search” option in the game settings, but it doesn’t work as intended. I live in Egypt, and even with that setting on, I still get matched with players from all over the Middle East and Europe, which creates huge ping gaps and unfair gameplay. This suggested system would greatly reduce unfair ping differences and fix many of the “nonsense gameplay” complaints you see across social media, which are often just latency issues. Make it an optional toggle for players who want equal ping. Just try it — you’ll feel the difference.

    The game is unplayable; if there are no changes, the players will abandon it.

  • Good idea, but they won't be able to accept it; otherwise, the matchmaking search time will take a while and maybe we won't find a game.
