10+ minute queue times from South Africa

[pblelliott]

I play from South Africa. The playerbase here is small so I usually find EU games. The problem is that my queues are extremely long, averaging 10-12 minutes. I suspect that the matchmaker is spending 10 minutes looking for an SA game, then gives up and puts me on EU. I think so because when I play with my EU duo we get games in less than a minute. I have found no console commands that fix this.

Thanks @pblelliott for making noise about this.

- Devs please shorten time to 3-4 minutes local queue search before switching to EU (closest).

The South Africa 10 minute queue change was made by Yoshi in late 2024. I sent him a DM yesterday.
The local matchingmaking is great, when there's players.

Having SA servers are already a blessing but 1/4 of my daily matches are maybe local. Waiting 10-11 minutes each time is painful.

Been having the same issues, every queue is a 10+ wait just to get put into a eu server after the wait, having to wait 10+ mins in the lobby per game is honestly soul draining

Agreed man. I know the devs are up to their neck in work. @Yoshi When you have a moment will you please reduce it to 3-4 minutes, 5 tops. I don't know what the backend data says but I trust you guys to make an informed decision. Thank you!
