“. However, it may also increase your matchmaking time and reduce the fairness of matches you get.”
In the new update yesterday they said if we picked local region for games it will reduce fairness, how would that do that? can someone explain as i am missing it?
The game prioritizes your location to the server over the fair distribution of skill levels. In short, ping vs balance.
Example 1 with local matchmaking:
You live in a low player count area and are a bronze player. Currently there are only gold level players online in your area. You get thrown into that game. GLHF
Example 2 with extended (normal) matchmaking:
Current modus operandi, the game tries to match skill levels but can throw you on a server located on the other side of the Moon.
I really hope that Ex2 also tries to look in your area before putting you on a server but most of the time, it feels super random (or EU is close to being completely dead).
ahhhhhhh okay thank you for this
