"Matchmaking ping limit" not working properly

[Yannik]

Lost count how often I get in a game and its actually 110+ ping.
While at it I would like to request the ability to set it lower. To something more playable like 50 or 75 at least. Thank you.

I took a two week break because of this, last night logged in with a hope to see it has been fixed but it wasn't, unfortunately. Going to wait another couple of weeks, if nothing happens might just try to find another game to play 😞

Haha, that's amazingly good ping that almost never happens in the wild. I've been connected to people with 1-3s ping even though I have my ping limit set to something like 300ms (so I can play with a friend from South America)... I know he sometimes gets ping like that to other games based in North America...I have no idea how he can stand to play. Doors taking 2 or more seconds to open, if they open at all... Skill lag, etc. In any case, even setting the limit super low doesn't do much. 

It would be nice if DE would finally give us a toggle-able option to never be host. There are a lot of people with bad computers/internet who know that they have bad computers/internet and often apologize and say they would use it if that option were available. And perhaps the option to always be or prefer to be host.
