Game lagging when update available mid-game ?

While being mid-game, the game suddenly turned into a slide show and I was forced to play like that the whole game.
I suspect two things:

1) Either that was because of the servers, because I was queued in London servers while being in Caucasus region (This server is too far for us most of the times, and in most of the games it's stable 90-100 ping, so these servers must be very low priority for me).
2) Or it was because of the update got available when I was already in the game, cause server information was not popping on top right corner, mentioning about any connection issues.

I've lowered the settings into minimal, didn't help. When pausing the game, everything became smooth again, but when unpaused, lags came back.

First request: Even if this issue was not because of the server, I still get some games, where ping jumps high consistently. So could you enable servers picking/disabling feature, so we could choose what servers to queue into? Or at least maximum acceptable ping, like implemented in CS2.

Second request: Something must be wrong with mid-game updates happening. I saw many cases where an opponent or teammate got disconnected/crushed mid-game, later to find out there was an update available.
