No best game location makes matchmaking annoying.

Question

Best game location as an option for matchmaking makes it so the game always finds games that are suitable in terms of ping. Without this, it’s very common to get into games with high ping; which you have two ways of approaching. Either you stick through it, while this puts you at a huge competitive disadvantage as you are playing with high ping, but at least you get to play a game. Or, you can keep leaving games before they start to reset matchmaking to roll the dice and potentially find a game with suitable ping, which is rare at certain times.

Please add this option back to matchmaking, not only for WOC, but for every online mode, as it greatly improves the overall experience players have.

I beleive it already search the best game location by default and only switch to a larger area after some time searching.
It's way better like this imo, if everyone start using only best location, it make the search a lot longer after peak hours. I really only get bad ping once in a while when I play really late in the night like past 2-3am

Matchmaking wouldn't need anything else than total separation between North America and Europe. Let europeans (like me) to only play against other europeans and same for people from NA. There ain't no good reason to force everyone in the same bowl and just hope to find yourself a playable game. That could also be option as well if someone want's to play from Europe against NA.

Also what matchmaking needs is what we already had in previous NHL is the size of team. We need the exact setting back when trying to play 6v6 games. Why take that +- thing away?

Only God himself knows what they had in mind when they removed matchmaking settings and do not understand that ping is really big issue here wich also could be easily fixed to put wall between Europe and North America.

I rarely find a game with good ping. Last year with best game location, searches were quick and easy. There was no reason to change this, as giving the option to the player is the best choice.&nbsp;

It’s not just NA and EU that have issues with this. West and East Canada is a huge difference in terms of ping, we need a best game location ASAP; it makes the game playable and enjoyable. I will not play a game with high ping, and it will take me a long time to find a game with good ping. This was never an issue last year with the best game location setting. I will seriously think refunding the game without matchmaking settings such as match room size and best game location, an absolute atrocious change that is unacceptable.
