those people with 250 pings trying to play ranked
Players have very little influence on their own ping in ranked, and that is a huge problem.
I set my region to EU and it includes every country between the Atlantic ocean and the Ural mountains.
I see a lot of servers in the browser with 40-70 ping, but somehow when I play ranked, the matchmaking finds a 180-250ms ping server the “best suitable” for me (sometimes even 300).
If quick join does that, no problem, I can just disconnect and try again.
In ranked I either play at a disadvantage, convince my team to surrender, or bear the (recently increased) leaver penalty.
Also, I didn’t read anything in the patch notes about getting leaver penalty because of unintentional disconnect (due to technical errors, without the option to reconnect of course)
