    Thanks for that detailed patch notes, amazing improvement! Can you guys please consider adding the option for the user on settings to choose if we want to play only on our closest server? Playing on orange and red ping really ruins the experience! We don't mind if queue times are longer, especially for us streamers so we can interact with our chat without having to cancel queue after a minute
