How does that actually work where you are from?
For example, I'm from Serbia and no matter if I set matchmaking for close or far, its always the same people from far north like Poland etc, up to the south to Greece including surrounding Croatia, Montenegro, Bosnia, Romania or Bulgaria and Hungary.
At the begining of this curent phase, noticesd that no matter what I choose: a guy from Turkey pops up with extreme peaks from 4 bars to 2 and 3 constatly. No Greek players, less people from Romania, Poles from time to time but non stop-Turkey. Extreme lag, connection goes bananas and my players are unusable.
Dont have anything against anyone, dont get me wrong, but that connection makes me furious in crucial matches... had a huge drop from div2 and smart assist is in 80% matches in pvp. Makes me wanna just stop the PVP till summer.
