I’ve never had issues with ping before this, it’s always been stable and below 100, but since Matchmaking went live the game’s been practically unplayable with the rubberbanding. Is this normal when updates go out or does it have something to do with Matchmaking?
Am I The Only One With Ping Issues Since Matchmaking Went Live?

Depends if you’re using Casual Matchmaking or not. Some parts of EU aren’t eligible for CMM, so if you live in one of these places, that could explain the difference in ping. CMM removed all objective servers from the Server Browser, so you may be getting placed into other servers (I believe Moscow is where most are being directed to).

I have rubberbanding issues, but they only are bad if I’m repairing or touching the EV.

What about the US?
I’m not aware of any location limitations in the US except maybe South America. Are you using CMM when you receive these pings? You aren’t able to choose between US West and East, perhaps you’re receiving high pings when you are placed on a server that is on the other side of the US to where you’re from.
Even if this is true, pings of 100-125 would not be “unplayable” in the slightest. I play US CMM from Australia, getting 220 ping, and it’s far from unplayable. You would need to provide some footage for us to aid you any further.

I would have to disagree with this. Not sure what it is, packet loss or something, but anything above 100 gets into an unplayable area for me. I know it’s true for others as well. It wasn’t always like this, but a year or so ago, something changed, the servers or something, forget what it was. Dirty Bomb used to be fine with any ping, whether it’s playing with it or against it, but now it’s insane. High pings teleporting everywhere so trying to shoot them is difficult at times. I’m not saying this is true for everyone, it just depends on the person. For me, anything 80 and below is pretty good. Above that, things start getting weird. At about 120, the game is unplayable (constant teleporting and late hit registration) against any decent players.
This is the #1 reason why I stay away from CMM. Being unable to choose East or West sucks. I wish they had a bunch of U.S. Central servers so everyone could receive decent pings. Unfortunately, too many times I see a lobby filled with mostly U.S. East players, but ending up on a U.S. West server. Feels random lol.
Rubberbanding is probably the most frustrating issue with Dirty Bomb or FPS games in general so I feel OP’s pain.
