That guy with the 7ms ping got you down because you are facing him with your mighty 50ms ping and expecting to get the drop on him? Fret no more! The PUBG devs are going now testing implementing ping-pooled matching. Awesome pings are prioritized, and suck pings, well, I guess are not. I think?
Unlike the method considered earlier, we are going to divide the matching pool depending on ping. This means that the users with lower pings will be prioritized during matchmaking. The team is expecting to improve the overall play experience by splitting the matching pool rather than restricting connection depending on ping. Preparations are underway to test this method in some regions, with first trials planned to start this week. Specific dates will be shared when ready.
