Hi, can you please consider that it is way better to wait longer than play Europe vs Asia with unplayable ping? RT 2v2
It already waits longer before selecting higher ping opponents. However, becuase it is the only way the players in the less populated regions can find games, there is no way to avoid it entirely.
That being said they’ve already promised to evaluate the state of the matching algorithm over time with respect to wait time vs ping vs MMR, so it may be tweaked further depending on how much of an issue it seems to be.
Personally though, at least at my craptastic level of skill, ping is rarely a factor in the outcomes of games, so I’m not too bothered by it. Though I will acknowledge that as skill level increases, it becomes a more notable problem.
