I feel like out of all the regions I've played in, NA ranked was the best experience. My ping didn't allow me to do much (130 ping) but Silver players were comming a lot, they were trying to build their own strategies and actually playing as a team. I've never been called slurs too. EMEA ranked (Poland was where people were talking more) was fine, some people were screaming on the mic for no reason lol but it was fun, there was also a lot of players asking me if I spoke Russian or Polish and asking me to teach them words in Portuguese.

Brazilian ranked is absolute hell, we lose one pistol round and people start screaming and talking shit for absolutely no reason (5 AM btw), lots of slurs being thrown around, no comms, everyone just does whatever they want to do. Wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy.

Idk if you Americans like NA ranked, but y'all should be proud of what you have

I haven't played much of either Madrid or Warsaw, but I've not heard the best things about Warsaw. Madrid is generally chill

I think the best is Frankfurt, it's kind of a mixing pot so you get to play with people from every area in Europe, at higher ranks it's also the highest skilled server (most pros play on it)

Stockholm has a lot of Russians since they don't have their own server, but generally it's got the nicest people

London is nice if you get comms, but the lobbies are a bit easier

Avoid Paris at all costs.

NA West is not that bad in terms of hostility, it's just shit mental and voting to FF while 2 rounds down

yeah and i'm wondering how are these kids still in silver... they have the mechanical skill of at least diamond players.
their 'not comm-ing' policy must held their shit back...

When I play in HK (I live in the US tho), the only comms I get are typically quite useless. I think I've had one game where I had a guy comm solely in Viet for ??? Luckily I speak Viet, so like it wasn't that bad, but like half the team is not Viet bro

yeah, fortunately we don't have that problem in Brazil either, everyone speaks Portuguese

I guess the language barrier is more of an EMEA thing

Ranked in different regions
