Then you run the risk of having time periods that are barren or having really poor matchmaking in smaller regions- the decision not to region lock it makes sense since it is a newer IP, they didn't know how well it would do, and almost 80% of the game is online focused. They didn't even want to divide their player base by offering all ranked modes simultaneously.I haven't seen any lag, i was actually just thinking they should region lock the servers like in mk8. It would make the game run so much smoother!
