Ping isn’t actually the main issue.
It is server desynchronization and packet loss.
For example, earlier today I had a ping that was always below 60 and yet I was lagging every couple of seconds, with my HUD display stating it was due to Jittering and Server Packet Loss.
Not everyone has the same issues. I have the occasional Jitter and Packet Loss Issues as you describe and ping mostly between 30 and 50 ms (depending on which EU data center I get matched into). People in other regions (especially Oceania) however frequently see matches with 200 ms ping - so basically for them even the occasional stutter (I see it once every few matches) would be preferable.
In general I would prefer full region select instead of just max ping. It just gives you more control than just setting max ping and still would solve the problem of high ping games. It is likely to lengthen search times even more though and might prevent matching all together when population is low.
