Hi there 
Does someone have experience on playing on US-Servers from within the EU? Since lot of EU-Groups are not speaking english (unfortunately there are a lot of “FR only”, “RU only” ect. groups) I’d like to maybe try to play on US-Servers, but I’m a little worried about latency and I won’t lose SR / Leave games cause of it. 
btw. i totally understand that people want to play with people speaking their native language, but it’s difficult to find a group where everybody can communicate together.

Just… Make a group with english only xD.
I sometimes play on US servers and get around 150-200ms. So it’s not great, but it’s bareable.
I’m from switzerland and maybe you’re too because of your profile picture.
Communication is way better in NA because people actually talk english there. The problem is the ping, I get around 120 -130ms ping. It kinda works with the lag compensation and the favour the shooter system but it is not really fun to play for me.
Just try it out and play 2-3 QP games and you will see how it works for you.

I tried lots of times, but it takes quite long to find some players having a mic, speaking the same language within the same SR and willing to play comp.
Man i have 0 problem finding a group…
Yeah i do see some France only but usually all the rest are Just plain ol’ english.
And you are in the most popular rank too…
Yeah i think it is not worth sacrficing the ping
I got kicked out of a groups because I wasn’t danish. I had fitting SR (3000), Mic, profile wasn’t hidden and I can speak english.
Some people are very picky.
No, but I’ve played on EU servers without any problems. There’s some big fat pipes between Europe and North America.
Probably higher than normal latency, but not ridiculous like when my friend dragged me into a comp tournament on Aussie servers (he’s from there). 300 ping… completely unplayable.
my brother play in us servers from spain, Most of the times he has no problems. Evenmore, US servers people play with more coordination.
But, a couple of times he had lag, so we had to move to EU servers. I have to say, his connection is not the best
I was getting around 130 ping on the US server when I logged in there our of curiosity.
It’s not terrible, but definitely noticeable.
I mostly play Heroes that don’t require too much aim, but the latency will affect you tbh especially that my internet even on the EU isn’t wonderful… some have good internet so they can make it work.
Last time I played there had a couple of people make fun of my accent and that I’m Arabic but a duo stuck up for me so it was descent I guess. I was playing alright so 
i play from Dubai and i have 98 ms on america servers
but on eu i have a 150 ms
I’ve played on EU servers from NA (Quebec) and there’s no real noticeable lag.
