Yes, stuttering play during versus. It isn’t any fun.
its killing me that everyone is getting matched up with people on asian servers. unplayable for us while they have a 6 ping.
i absolutely agree with you.
obviously developers maybe aware of this ping problem.
but they don’t seem willing to fix this problem.
i mad about that too.

nope. the situation is the same for asians.
i am south korean. but when i match with american, ping is over 150ms
and with european, ping is over 300ms and 5min later ping soar rapidly
in the end the game is shut down
it is the problem not only for american but also all continental users.
the exact reason and problem is current global matching and client to client host system.

It’s not client to client, it’s been confirmed the games are hosted on servers. The game is matching 2 random players and then placing on them a random server, the whole thing is a giant mess.

really?
but when i posted discussion similar to this post
someone told me wc3 mathing system is c2c
i used to think it was a server problem
but when i heard that, i thought it was
if you say so, i was right. the server system is a total mess.

The poster is an mvp on the SCR forums (I’m pretty sure it’s the SCR forums) and even they thought it was c2c until they looked into it, but yeah, it’s server based.

oh, thanks for your explanation
ping ping ping was my post lol
i didn’t check all reply on my post
now i come to think of it, why wc3 reforged get rid of “not responding” kicking system?
The more we talk, the more trouble we seem to find

Ye this is the reason why i dont play it, (and the lots of search losses[3 out of my last 4 ladder game]), 9 out of my last 10 games was on ping around 250 and mostly againts eu players(i m from eu aswell) its so unplayable i just checked my brother screen yesterday and i just saw a 450 ping xDD (no not wifi). the game is out for several weeks and there is still no ladder and the ping is unplayable i find this unacceptable, they should must patch it asap

got 450+ when I play on Asia/America, it’s horrible. I don’t get why they abandon gates as in classic.

You can’t “fix” a global matchmaking system like they have. There’s nothing to fix.
It’s not a bug. It’s working as intended. It let’s you play against players from the entire globe thus reducing queue times. That was most definitely the reason why they went with global matchmaking.
Now, the issue is that it provokes ping issues because data takes time to arrive to whichever server you got put on, especially if you play with and against people from other regions.
The only way to “fix” this is to remove global matchmaking. Either by making an option that let’s you choose “EU only”/“NA only” etc or “Best available” - letting you match against the whole world on the best server for it" or scrap the entire global matchmaking and make a regional matchmaking only.
Either option is going to take time as they both require major revisions to the code. It’s not something you can just fix in a month.
I just tried to play again played 2 1v1 games and i had around 500 ping (up to 844) in both i guess i played againts asians but its still dont make this accepatble, like in netease u can play with uu around 200-250 ping againts chinese players, what is still rly bad but not tottaly unplayable like this 500 ping D, so i think this ping should be much lower even againts asian opo but if blizz cant make this work just dont make a global matchmaking is rly not worth it, to PLAY ON extremly HIGH PING IS just rly NOT FUN.

Working as intended
You mean unplayable? Ashreon again with his hilarious “arguments” to defend Reforged.
It’s not something you can just fix in a month.
It is something that should have been DONE FROM THE START. How can you release a game that is unplayable? Even a week of this is too long. Basic functionality of the game (i.e. making it playable) had to be there from the very beginning.
Somehow I do not remember such nonsense happening with Dota2. Even though it’s a free to play game. And not just because it is localized. As a European, I can play with Americans and Asians with under 100 ping. Not reaching above 150 at all.
If Blizzard cannot provide that, then they should have made matchmaking localized from the beginning.

I’m not sure why Asheron quoted “fix” in Fanas post when they at no point said it should be "fix"ed, they said it should be patched, which it should, cause the system, even though it works as intended, makes the game unplayable at times and should be changed.
I mean the game already places both players on game servers. It just places players on random ones than ones that are selected. I’m no coder but I don’t see how it’d take months for it to be changed to go to a specific one instead of a random server.

Games often crash after 30 minutes!

That’s simply not true, it would actually be very easy to implement such a behaviour.
The fact that they went with the global approach just shows their incredible ignorance and incompetence.
People don’t like playing 200+ Ping games in a competetive RTS game, who could have known? Wow.
By the way, before Reforged matchmaking worked fine, EU only with close to no delay and low ping.

i understand it is the same for u guys , im just saying it shouldnt be happening to either of us
Ok im gonna say it now, this is like you guys asking for blizzard to scrap the demo 2018 cutscenes. Global matchmaking is a feature that was announced a long time ago. Its working and we have little wait times for a match to be found, now you guys will keep creating threads complaining about it and asking for blizzard to SCRAP IT. If blizzard listens to you and SCRAP GLOBAL MATCHMAKING you’ll get LONGER QUEUE TIME, like those LONGER QUEUE TIMES we got in beta (that YOU ALL were complaining about) and later you’ll be back to the hatred mobs to hate even more on reforged saying
"SEE THIS GAME IS DEAD!! AAAARGH WE HAVE TO WAIT 3 TO 10 MIN TO FIND A SINGLE MATCH!!! AAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRGGH!!!!!".
Wanna an advice? FORGET IT! Let global matchmaking be, let it be. They’ll fix desyncs and disconnections, don’t worry.
You know there’s a middle ground right? Where you give people the choice between playing on certain servers or fastest queue?
And no, it’s not working. The only reason you think it’s working is because there’s no ladder. If ladder ships with global matchmaking, it will be a joke and pros will give up on the game entirely. Why do you think Pads Matchmaking program comes with region locking on matchmaking? Because ping matters.
