Good way to improve though for sure I find it hard to focus on playing well when 1 guy is 100 apm terran and the next is a 400 apm beast. 1850-2150 is incredibly inconsistent. Sometimes they are incredibly strong, some just terrible. | ||

(maybe the game initiates the built in VPN basesd on language-locale? that would be silly) | ||

Wow this is the dream!!! I saw Artosis had constant lag problems playing from Korea (?), so apparently there's some fine tuning to do there (maybe the game initiates the built in VPN basesd on language-locale? that would be silly) dont get confused, this is definitely not a literal VPN. they just changed the matchmaking criteria to allow us to pair with people based on ping instead of ping ESTIMATES based on location, this is a change that theyve stated on the forums that they were going to make soon | ||

Don't let a 'change/update' that happened skew your opinion just because you see a laggy scenario once or twice somewhere else. This change also has nothing to do with people residing in Korea; in all actuality, the change is minimal for Koreans given that they're still only pairing with foreigners in a small percentage of their total matches. Primarily, they will still continue to pair one another in an overwhelming majority. Minimal change in the eyes of Korea (or should be anyways). More over, it's probably the biggest change for NA since it's constant pairing to KR given that many in NA can achieve an average of TR16+ with Koreans. Lastly, it's probably the smallest change for Europeans because in general, parts of Europe were never able to achieve a true average of TR16 low with Koreans. But still, there will be folks in Europe regardless, who will get the pairings and also pair to NA more frequently at least. Still beneficial overall because now the gates are open to pair to NA with increased flexibility perhaps. Overall, this change should be better for everyone and it's unlikely that Koreans complain about TR16 Low. In my experience so far and many others I've seen, Koreans don't seem to be complaining at all when it's truly TR16 Low. This is also shown in the fact that when utilizing a VPN which could have spikes and lag during a game (it could go from TR8-TR16 several times within a game sometimes), Koreans can see that and hate it. So they cheese you and BM you. In this new update, it's not like that -- they don't talk, they don't really care, and seem to just play regular games because it's a very stable connection overall (from NA perspective I can speak, obviously). Also, stop saying "built in VPN" - it's not a VPN and has nothing to do with a VPN. It's about averages and the correct ping/average associated with the next player in queue, not to do with location or re-routing your connection. It's about fine tuning these averages (keeping it simple) so Blizzard could allow such pairings to happen. It's not like overnight NA is able to achieve TR16 with Koreans, this networking/infrastructure already existed. It's not like Blizzard can fix your connection and improve your natural latency. They can't fix a Peruvian connection, some things are simply what they are... they're not working with your internet provider. So please understand this. For instance, if Blizzard said "ok, average 200 ping = TR14, but we don't allow average TR14 to pair to Korea, you won't pair them" ... but in all actuality, the threshold is average TR16 and an average ping of ~200-220 ping, let's say. So if Blizzard changes the scale and says "ok, well, 200 ping is actually equal to TR16, so let's change the scale" -- then bam, now you're pairing to Koreans because before the ping to TR scale was a bit off (equating TR14 to average pings that should rightfully be associated with TR16). Keep this type of simplified example in mind. Anyways, what do I know  Good luck and have fun for those that can achieve the new pairings... | ||

Here's my theory of the algorithm: It tries to match you with people that you've got minimal connection issues (closer to you) but it also minimises queue times and elo discrepancy if possible, but those are secondary requirements so unless there are loads of people that play wherever and can afford to "spill" a few with decent connection to you you'll get the old results. Anyway, point is do not complain and hit the ladder chances are you'll get matched with similar skill level players if not though luck try again later. Still better than what it was! | ||
