Why so many KSA when I am in UK

Now you’ve released the OW World Cup player icons people are display thier flag.

Half the people in my games are displaying the KSA flag and have been extremely homophobic.

Not that I take offence, you get a bit numb to it, but don’t they have their own server?

and yes before anyone asks I have been reporting them, not that I anticipate Blizzard actioning anything.

No. Not any more.

Also, the way you’ve worded that made me laugh. As it could be taken as just as offensive as what you’ve claimed they are saying

I live in Southern Africa and my default server is the ME server. I use a VPN to make sure I get proper EU servers.

It is the worst experience you could probably have in the game. The majority of games are filled with homophobia, sexist remarks against woman, cheater accusations randomly get thrown around, teamwork is non existent…

And probably the weirdest thing is that if you use VC and they can tell you aren’t a ME native they immediately label you as racist and start berating you, which is ironic because they are the ones being racist by doing so…

It really is a terrible experience.

ME servers been taken down? Since when?

I’m from the UK and I see a lot of players with Russian or Asian names. Is the game really that dead that it’s unable to match you to people within the same country?

It never tried to do that.

Also, I’m UK (hiiiii). I could give my account an Urdu name, doesn’t mean anything

What the heck is KSA

kingdom of saudi arabia - middle east.

Ah ok

Middle East do have their own servers, however they were relocated around September '23 from Bahrain to Dubai.

This has resulted in some players being connected on EU servers instead of Middle East.
