congrats, though I’ve never had a game with 600 ping, ever, not even choosing to play through the Asia gateway in the US.
For me, most games normally stay under about 200 ms ping in the EU region and feel playable. But lately I’ve been getting frequent disconnects during games, especially when things slow down in‑game, even small ping spikes seem to trigger a disconnect, which ruins the match.
So yes, I rarely see ping over 200, but instead I get a disconnect.
Could Blizzard investigate routing or server selection issues that might be causing this? Many players report high latency and disconnects that don’t seem to match normal network behavior.
Sorry I might have jinxed it, it’s completely messed up again, 600ms vs 10ms when playing against asian players.
Was too good to be true sorry ^^

If you get a 600ms ping to ANYONE, you have a connection issue on your end that needs addressing. This has nothing to do with server selection. Also, you have no way of knowing or confirming the opponent’s ping to the server. Could you please show a screenshot with the in-game ping counter showing a 600+ms ping? because I strongly suspect you are exaggerating for effect.
My pings (Maine, US).
Chicago server- 47-57ms
West coast server (not sure where it is, Irvine, CA I think?) 90-100ms
Against most EU opponents- ~120-150ms
Against players from the Asia (Korea) gateway- 270-300ms.
These numbers are very consistent and I’ve rarely seen pings deviate significantly from these ranges.
I have no doubt that you’re having crappy games with KR opponents. Even 250ms feels like you’re dragging your units through mud. but please don’t make up or exaggerate numbers. Post actual pings you actually get.
It also really doesn’t seem like a coincidence that an account named Pinocchio is posting exaggerated numbers. Wonder how long that nose is right now…
how do you mute/block someone on these forums?
- Click on 3 dots near golden “W” - in the top-right corner.
- There click on “My posts”
- Your forum profile menu opens (so not general profile)
- Here click on Preferences => Users
- You will find Ignored list , click on Add button …
You cannot Mute or Block, just you can “Hide” from your list that user’s answers.
Finally You will see “VIEW 1 HIDDEN REPLY” link in gray colour into the thread.
You can still unfold it.
Alternatively use Flag feature for a certain post: ( It’s Inappropriate / It’s Trolling / It’s Off-Topic ) but do not abuse Flagging otherwise you loose credibility.
That’s all you can do.
About Ping and servers, you can try to start game on different region from BattleNet - (clicking on “world sphrere” : Americas / Eurpe / Asia) - but you loose temporary some statistic, portraits. At least you can have fun.
And share your experience here then and we hope issues got fixed soon.
Check this post for an alternate way to block, with images if Cat’s method doesn’t work for you.

I’m sorry that you wish to ignore the truth, but I absolutely welcome use of the ignore feature. It at least mostly guarantees that these threads don’t drag out longer than necessary. But if you decide you are willing to accept the truth of the situation, you can always click the [show] button on a post-by-post basis.
Without a screenshot I don’t believe you’re actually getting 600ms pings. And if you do show us that you really are seeing pings like that, it indicates connection issue that is likely on your end as no one else here has reported pings like that.
I answered Pinocchio on how to mute someone on the forum.
Not sure why you’re upset about that, maybe he wanted to block me, who knows!?!
Sometimes it might feel like the Sun revolves around you, but let’s chill and not overthink it.
Lets talk about server changes or ping.
For me, today, either I can’t find games or they drop within a minute or two, and I hope because they already work to fix the servers.
