How exactly is arena better with 200ms ping?

You think forcing Oceanic playerbase onto american servers on 200-300ms is in the best interest of the “Oceanic Community” ?
Have you forgotten the reason why we initially wanted oceanic servers to begin with ?
Have you asked our community what we would prefer ?
This is a lazy fix to a problem you’ve created very disappointing
Also stop changing the title of my thread that includes (LAG) because that’s what we are experiencing right now

Another one of those blatantly obvious "WE SHOULD ANNOUNCE THIS CHANGE TO THE PLAYERBASE BEFORE IT GOES LIVE" decisions that … well, “small indie company” and all that.

The real reason was that U.S. players missed reading Aussie trash talk in BG chat. lol

Try again and answer the question please. Why would players WANT to play with bad ping? Why was this change not made clear before implementation.

Any competitively minded player would rather not play at all than play against NA players with 250+ ping. Terrible change that no one asked for.

Any comment on what region priority will look like -
ie. OCE > USW > USE servers for matchmaking? Seeing as USW was generally designated for OCE servers before we had a Sydney Data Centre and on average provides lower ping

Give us our own region then, we don’t want 200ms arenas. Have you ever played competitive Arena on 200ms? You literally lose games because of your latency it’s infuriating. The oceanic player base does not want this. I tell you what, if it’s not so bad. Why don’t when an OCE team queues into an NA team, make it a 50/50 chance of where the server is hosted and see how long it takes NA to complain and cancel their subscriptions.
