Connecting to Middle east server

Hi guys, I play on pc and I play from India for the past 3 years I have played on the SEA servers and I used to get constant 80-90 ms which is what I am comfortable with (which is not that great but good for me) today suddenly my whole server got changed from SG to MIDDLE EAST for no reason although I get lower ping my friends and everyone are on the SG server and I want to play with them but I’m getting really bad ping on the SG server now(150-170ms). It was fine a couple of hours ago this change just suddenly took place anyway to connect back to the SG server and not the Middle east one. Would appreciate any comment thank you !

Overwatch recently changed so that you are connected to the fastest possible server regardless of region you may have chosen in the BattleNet app launcher. Learn more about the BattleNet global play update from Community Manager Josh Nash here:
