It would be great if you could implement this option.
It basicly means somewhere in the options or before searching a Match i can choose if the Matchmaking matches me up with people from other continents or not.
Even if matchmaking takes much loonger because of this i would preffer waiting then to play a Game where i have to suffer a high ping.

And really, these 3 green or yelllow or red bars mean nothing even if im on a Canadian host where my rockets come out 1-2 seconds to late and my shotgun shots cant hit anything i still have green bars.

I ask this because i very often get matched up and put into lobbys with people from America, Canada Mexico USA whatever , but i live and play in Germany and it is really no fun to play with a Ping of 150ms or more. You made a good job at hiding Latency. But the fun just stops if you have to play in these matches.

I can understand people if they quit out if they have to play on such a host one way or another. It is the reason for wrong player prediction and other Issues.

Really couldnt you just add a server browser, where everyone could host his matches and people could search it look at the ping look at the skill of the people and then decide to join or not.

I can immage that the majority of the population consists of Us people, but when you come in and tell me this it doesnt help at all beside putting the game down period.

its Frustrating as hell.
Also Hostadvantage is ricicolous
