Connection checklist

What to check first

  • Pick regions manually when queue quality matters.
  • Strict solo queue and behavior score can affect match quality more than ping alone.
  • Steam outages can affect coordinator availability.
  • Restart the game after changing region or network route.
  • Test one casual match before starting ranked.
Ranked stability

Good server choice rules

Do not choose a server only because it shows the lowest ping once. A stable 35 ms route with no packet loss is usually better than a 22 ms route with spikes.

For team games, the best route is often the lowest average ping across the whole party, not the best ping for one player.
