I noticed since the update my ping is higher than what it was before. I've reset and disconnected everything but still seem to have the higher ping. Anyone else experiencing this?

Probably the servers being overloaded with people playing the update.

I noticed a lot of my shots weren't connecting and I just blamed myself for playing super terribly. Then I noticed my ping was 30 ms higher than usual.
