[2020] Let us set maximum ping

We've been talking about building out a system that will only match you up with nearby people and find the best server to play on as well. Right now all the traffic routes through a server in the US, so if you or another player in your game is far away from there, you're going to notice it.

I'll keep you posted!

Hey Baka-gaijin, I have a quick update for you!

Today I patched in automatic region selection (no more always routing traffic through US East) and MageQuit now takes ping into account with matchmaking as well. You will no longer matchmake with anyone with a ping higher than 160ms from your best region in quickplay (I assume this will be Melbourne for you). Ranked, unfortunately, doesn't enforce ping limitations because we don't have enough active ranked players to warrant the split, however, the automatic region selection will still find a better relay server for your ranked matches even if pings aren't restricted.
