Finding exactly this as a uk player. Played 4 games of ffa and 1 was unplayable on usa servers and one was not much better. So much for focused matching you based on connection. I want to be able to toggle region lock, not some setting that makes only half of my games playable (still better than the none i had and still got onyx 1809 from last season). I want to choose when to be cannon fodder on us servers and when to play a skilful game on my home server where my skill actually has some bearing on the result.

Wow, not bad. Here in the U.S. it works wonderfully well. Someone should start a megathread and then file complaints in the support forums. I know it is disheartening but one step closer.

No wonder. Again only players from the US benefiting. I posted yesterday saying the “focused” search doesn’t work. PLEASE give us the option to search STRICTLY LOCALLY…not to search locally for 5 seconds then open the region to pretty much strictly north american.

343 have never cared much for us eu players :frowning: i imagine its perfect for usa because you guys get better matches if you are on home servers a lot - not north american players fault, but it is 343s fault. I just want fair matches. Region lock toggle should have been the option. It doesnt take a rocket scientist looking through forums to kniw that is what eu players would have preferred to this ‘nothing’ update
