You can change the regions you matchmake on by clicking on the Region Selector located above the queue.
After opening up the Region Selector you'll see options to select Optimal or Manual.
Optimal is the default setting and balances putting players into regions with the lowest ping possible and in a short amount of time. Optimal will preselect servers with <100 ping and won't allow you to make changes to the selected regions.
If you prefer to choose the regions you matchmake on, then select Manual. You'll be able to select from any of the available regions. Keep in mind that choosing your own regions may increase your matchmaking times.
There are a few limitations with the Region Selector that can prevent you from finding a match when using Manual mode.
- If you only select regions where you have a ping of 300ms or higher you won't be able to ever find a match.
- If you select regions with low player population, you may see increased matchmaking times or be unable to find a match at all. (We recommend selecting multiple higher population regions in NA or EU to increase your chances of finding a match)
