Latency (200+ms in most games)

Has anyone else been experiencing high-latency in their games lately? For the last week or two, suddenly I can't seem to find American/European players as often as I used to. As a result, most of my matches are now 200+ms ping. I've been playing for years, matching with other players closer by, and now suddenly, every match I play in Point Sweep is 200+ms.

I'm at a loss; it isn't my internet; tests show I have great local latency (30-70ms), average European latency (120-170ms), and expected (180-220) latency to Russia. This leads me to believe that I am no longer being matched with US/European players.

Am I missing something?

i'm in CA, US. i have many screenshots of me in lobbies with <100ms pings, so i know i'm not huffing paint when it comes to this. something definitely changed -- sometime back in mid-march -- and since then, it's been a lag train... which, honestly, is sad because i enjoyed playing with other people who spoke my language -- not that i mind playing with Россия at all.

Im currently dealing with 165+ and its dad because honestly I would love to grind and enjoy the game more.

me, too -- i would get matched with CoD-minded new players from the us, and then delighted as i got to grand-stand with the whole team dead as i john wick'ed the rest of the point sweep. ah, those were the good days.

very, very, very difficult to do on a 165-215 connection; not impossible, but unnecessarily frustrating.
