Hello,
I’ve been playing OW since launch and 150ms is all i have known.
Now that blizzard has added Bahrain servers i got excited and went to test it, disappointing results below.

No significant improvement, keep in mind i live in Kuwait and i have a good internet connection.
Is it possible that the issue is on my end or are the Bahrain servers just not that good?
Most likely your isp doesnt have more direct routes and still goes thhorugh eu
Everyone I know in the middle east including myself receive 20 to 40 ping in Bahrain server. Including everyone I also met in competitive that discussed the new server.
So that’s a pretty weird issue.
For example 130~150 was the norm on eu server
If your ISP is STC (Saudi Telecom), there is still a bug they are working on for them.
What’s the trace route for each of those servers?
Everyone saying it’s your isp; I’m in the same situation as you, are you on Fasttelco?
You can try using a vpn. My isp has shit routing, and I randomly get 250 ms to some japanese servers while normally I should get 50 ms. Somehow, vpn magically fixes that when I choose Japan as my location (I’m not from Japan). But if you choose to try one, don’t use Nord vpn, it’s dogshit. I use avira phantom, which seems like a noname vpn, but it works for me.
I play from Pakistan on Amsterdam servers, was in the same situation as you, getting 150ms, but thankfully I am getting 40ms since the new patch.
They showed that the middle east servers will have Algeria, Morocco and other countries, but so far Bahrain is the only country to get the servers. I don’t know if the other ones are gonna get implemented or not.
Hey man, I would always get 130-180 ping, with the UAE server added ( i live in dubai/sharjah) i now get 20-30 ping unless I queue with a friend and go to 100ping again. But honestly, I’ve gotten so used to high ping that its the normal gameplay for me but the difference is there.
I’m in Dubai on du (my ISP). I used to get ~140 ms to Europe, and ~100 to Americas.
With the new servers, I’m now consistently at around 28 ms (region set to Europe). Happy days.
try dns flushing, too.
How to find out on which server am I ?) like region, it’s not hard, but country ?
Try using HASTE it has a free trial
that’s weird. for me i live in uae and i get 20 to 40 ping almost every match, like i get one 130 ping match every 20 games, gl on fixing it man
Blizzard’s routing in Europe and Asia is garbage, sorry you had your hopes up.
It’s always motherfucking routing.
Yeah that makes sense actually, ill try contacting the isp.
How do you select/know the server?
I live in Saudi Arabia, and ping is exactly the same.
asking the real question right here
