Issues with ping

Okay, so as the new season started, I went to go play my placement matches. Only to find that I have a steady 200 ping in each game. My internet works perfectly fine with every other game that I play, but every time I turn on Overwatch, it goes to 300 ping, and drops to 190-200. Please help me fix my ping! I was so close to Diamond!
Edit: I’m in Southern California, not Australia so their problem is not mine.

Where are you from? There is a known issue with the Australian server at the moment. Was just wondering if you were in that region.

im right next to LA lol, so it’s not location

For connection issues, please provide a WinMTR for troubleshooting :face_with_monocle:

WinMTR instructions (click to expand/collapse)

Follow the support documentation for WinMTR. If you’re unable to get into a game for the IP address, then use an IP from the table provided on that page that matches your region. Run the test until you encounter the issue again, or for at least 10 minutes.

Share your results in a reply:

  1. Click the “Copy Text to clipboard” button after you’ve finished the test per the instructions.
  2. Paste the text in a reply, then highlight the pasted text and click </> on the post editor.
  3. Break any links by adding a space before .com, .net, etc.

Note: I’m an MVP/volunteer, and I don’t work at Blizzard. :stars:
