The Practice Range always has a higher latency than the other modes, regardless of the server you are on. If I play in SA (where I live), a normal game is 29ms. But in the practice range it is usually 220ms when I enter. If I restart the mode several times, it goes to a lower latency, like 40ms, but it is never the same as in other games. When I play on NA, normal latency in games is 160ms, and practice range is always 185ms. It makes a big difference when playing lag.
I made a post about this on the Bug Report, but like always, anybody reads it

I think practice range prioritizes server load above all, so it’ll put you on a Korean server with 300 ping if it has less load than a local server with 30 ping. Fortunately, the practice range is now available for custom games and those seem to prioritize latency, so you can use it there.
same for me on ps4 actually. I dont notice it every time I am there but it does happen occasionally
If i Press Ctrl + Shift + N when I enter in those random 220ms+ games, I can see I still on a South America server. But for some reason the latency is like I was on Korea. So, I think it doesent realocates me to far away. Its more like a bug or something like that
