Game Health Update - July 7, 2021

Regional Server Support
- Players can now select regional servers in custom games
- These changes will also result in better overall ping times across automatch modes
- This should help with peak time lags that some players have been experiencing

• When you select a server, you are not region locked.
  
  
• You still matchmake globally. When the system forms the match, it takes into account all users' pings to every region (finding the best overall) and applying that to its decision. The outcome is you are more likely, but not guaranteed, to be placed in a match in your closest region. BUT this heavily depends on how many other players are searching for the same match type close to your rank/rating.
  
  
• Queue times may be affected if there aren't many users who would optimally use the same region as you.
  
  
• Your ping score is just another number in how the system decides possible matches when the automatch engine runs.
  
  So TLDR, this support should prioritize the ideal server for you, but it's contingent on a bunch of other factors like player rank, location in proximity to server, how many players are searching, time of day, etc., etc. Hope this helped clear things up!
