Why am I defaulted to NA servers when queueing with NA players from OCE as party leader.
So, I have never experienced a time where queueing as party lead with someone from NA having us put in OCE servers.
Now it seems unfair to me, considering a player from NA will have significantly lower ping on OCE servers than an OCE player would on NA.
We maybe need an option to pick regions so I can play with friends from NA.
Scenario, 5 OCE players, 1 NA player in party, OCE player has lead - Get NA servers.

I'm surprised with 5 OCE players you'd end up on an NA server.
Our matchmaker tries to find the best compromise for a party that's spread out over the world. It's possible your NA party member has a very bad ping to the servers closest to you.
