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.
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.
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.
