Now that ME servers are up, I can't find a quickplay game to save my life.(PC)

Thanks Blizzard for releasing this four years too late when the player base has completely died

could you try switching to European servers?

there is no option like that on PC afaik except region select in battle.net and ME servers are considered under EU.

17

I think in some ME nation VPNs are forbidden.

Isn't that the whole point of using a VPN lol

delamoratoria•

what a vague statement. it's not super useful to say that if you don't know what country OP is in, considering the middle east has many nations and covers different continents

@OP i would check though

I mean typical Blizzard, 4 years too late and the execution defeats the purpose.

Report of our deaths are greatly mostly somewhat a bit exaggerated.

Leoxslasher:vancouver-titans:•

I am in Dubai and I get games just fine, didnt notice any difference. Maybe if you are GM, its harder for you, I am just low masters.

They make comp so much better though. Been blocking shatter and eating gravs all day! Being on 18ms down from 160ms is amazing.

On the flip side, butthurt kids leaving ALL THE TIME!

Honestly, Every game is literally following two rules to victory:

  1. Always Hug Cover
  2. Always Rotate the Map towards the objective.

butthurt kids are butthurt lmao.

I get matches just as fine and if it takes a bit longer than usual it just puts me in EU instead

just further proof that life always sucks no matter what

Problem is that players that use STC (which is basically most saudi players) are still connecting to EU since for whatever reason ME servers give us 130+ ping compared to 90-100 on EU.

It'd be cool if there was a straightforward way to grow the player base in ME, but you might hafta wait for OW2 to see a big uptick in players.

Leoxslasher:vancouver-titans:•

Are you sure bro? the mstchmaking times are quite similar to other servers. I suppose you might be GM or above otherwise you get games. In general <2min tanks, <2min support, 20 min Dps. Quite consistently.

1
okinamii:philadelphia-fusion::chengdu-hunters:•

20 min DPS must be ranked, right? Quick play for me is faster.

1
Leoxslasher:vancouver-titans:•

I am just joking its most 10 mins even for comp, but sometimes you have to wait 15+mins

I play on the ME server, Competetive is very easy to find matches. Arcade is longer than before But I think it is fine

I mean you're queueing DPS, I've not played qp in a while but wouldn't longer queue times be expected? report back with tank queue times m8

MalstrumVGDogman is a feeder — :seoul-dynasty::toronto-defiant:•

My DPS queue time in NA is about 5-8min depending on the day.

212phantomOP•

no it wouldn't be this long when it was at <4 mins. I also queued tank and dps still nothing after ten minutes.

MrInfinity-42MTD — :san-francisco-shock::los-angeles-valiant:•

dps queue is always around 8-10 minutes, no matter what the game says

11
Kanshan:dallas-fuel::toronto-defiant:•

I dunno. I get 5-6m queues prime time US East.

no it is actively hurting my matchmaking now and I am not being placed in a regular EU game

This is not a petty complaint but a fairly severe problem for people from that region. I suggest that instead of imitating a newborn, you shut your fucking cake hole and upvote this for visibility, because I don't think Blizzard is particularly aware of this issue yet.

Also tagging u/billwarnecke just in case.
