@MrMuted Can't remember for sure, but back in the beginning it seemed very random how it picked your server. Then there was some optimization where it would pick lowest ping, even if it's not the closest to you. You have option to choose in case you have issues on server despite showing good ping.
As mentioned, lately there's been spikes. I can open game, have a good ping on main server. Then get a bad game with lag. Go back to main menu to check servers and my preferred now has a much higher ping than farther away alternatives...
Bigger picture there seems to be server issues in general lately. Lots of reports about lag. Latency and congestion spikes...
I play on PS4 and never noticed if it shows a different server per match than my initial selection at startup, but now I may keep an eye for that.
