Why is matchmaking (especially gambit) so bad for OCE players?
Seriously bungo,
The ping difference between NZ/Aus/NA is FAR superior than NZ/Aus->Japan/SEA.
Can you put a little effort/thought into SIMPLE shit you should be getting right. Fix matchmaking, even if we have long queues. Lag teleporting and rubber band games are the normal for us since the game has moved to steam, and it's fucking HORRIBLE.
I'm astounded you cant get that right in 2019, when its been the baseline for any FPS mp for at least 10 years.

Could you explain how simple it is to lower latency between countries that are separated by vast ocean distances?
Australia in particular will suffer as long as the internet infrastructure is continually poor.
Many other games use regional dedicated servers to help here which relieves stress on domestic connections. In a peer to peer game the stress is placed on the domestic connection.
