The game suffers from server inconsistency

When on LA servers I lose. When on Atlanta servers, I top frag and pop head shots like crazy.

There's no way for me to manually decide to never be placed in California servers when I live 2000 miles away.

Maybe the larger player base will make a difference for closer games.

You can set max matchmaking ping in the settings, this has been a thing for years.

Doesn't setting max ping fix it for you? Or is the servers themselves that are the problem?

So maybe this was just an issue during the beta but it would still connect me to LA servers even with my max ping set to 25. It would start out at 9 ping and during the warm up it would just shift to be 40s

I played a couple games today and I haven't been forced to connect to any servers in California
