Oceanic players - Getting tossed into SEA servers all of a sudden

[stuart.b.personal]

Seems over the last couple of days, seemingly since the most recent updates, Oceanic players are getting put into SEA servers more frequently.

Today, during an active time for Australian players to be online (Saturday, middle of day), I've been put into SEA servers for 7/10 games I've played. Each time I've been put onto one of these servers, I was only in queue for about 10-15 seconds; I don't think the amount of Oceanic players is low enough for it to instantly shift us over to those SEA servers more frequently, nor has it been long enough of a wait each time.

It's annoying as I always find these servers are laggier - specifically, the game will choke during team fights / active action, making it hard to reactive to anything as it essentially freezes momentarily for 2-3 seconds at a time.

Still happening as of today - first time playing since Saturday, played 4 matches, 2 of them were on laggy Singapore servers and 2x were on fine OCE servers.

It's really frustrating, every second game has been throwing me onto the laggy SEA servers, and due to the aforementioned freezes that occur whenever I'm on the servers I just cannot cope; the last match I just played on a SEA server was mostly me freezing any time I was trying to battle, causing me to be at a disadvantage.

On the verge of just hanging up the game until this gets officially fixed :/

+1 happening today, except tossed onto the US server. 270 ping is... not ideal. Match ID 24837750

I got put into a US server. 300 ping unplayable. There was another player on my team that queued SEA servers and got put in there too. Too bad we can't forfeit or leave match .
