Poor ping/connection
Why over the last couple weeks have the pings and connections gotten so bad? I just had the worst game in years with a ping over 8000. Used best game location and that's what I got.

Community ManagerYou're on the Central US server. I can't give an exact location though. My LG team had 1 game lag last night, but the other 5 had no issues. That's how it's been lately where 1 game out of several has this. Once we quit out and find another game, it's fine. I'm not saying this is ok by any means though. There's just a lot of variables at play when you're talking about 12 people connecting to the game. Especially with the state of affairs in the world today. The strain on the internet is causing many connections to lag or disconnect when they otherwise wouldn't have. If you are very frequently seeing 1000 MS pings, we should go through some troubleshooting.
your telling me there are no east servers ?

There are east servers, but those in Toronto would be connecting to the central servers as they are closer.
I have friends who play in Montreal which they are in the east why do they have there own server in the east ? They don’t connect to a central server ..so why do we in Toronto that makes no sense

They would be on the North East server.
Yea which is in Montreal... why would I connect to a central server if I’m in Toronto in the east
- EA_Aljo
Ohio is closer than Montreal. That's why you're connecting there instead.
I’m like 5 hours away from Montreal.. I’m almost 7 hours away from Ohio how does that make any sense?
- EA_Aljo
Driving to Ohio would be longer than driving to Montreal, but the actual distance, in a straight line, from Toronto to Ohio is shorter than Toronto to Montreal.
