matchmaking issues: long wait times and high ping lobbies

i've noticed that whenever BHVR decides to roll out an updated matchmaking system it throws everything out of wack

this is compounded by rank reset happening recently

across the board i've noticed that queue times for both survivor and killer have been abysmal

what's worse is that once i finally do get a lobby it'll frequently be a european killer (i'm in north america)

i know for a fact that there are north american killers queueing with open lobbies, so why am i being placed into killer lobbies in different regions? and what accounts for why i have to wait so long in the first place?

it'd be nice if the developers were more transparent about how exactly their MM system currently works because it feels like every time they tweak it it makes the game harder to enjoy

    It'll try and match you with players from your close vicinity, then expand outwards and eventually include the whole world.

    That's how I've come to understand it.

    That moment when you get instant lobbies and it throws you into red ping lobbies.

    that's what they said but that's not what's being reflected in the current system

    so something is either horribly wrong, which wouldn't be terribly surprising, or they're trying another approach

    I wonder why this is only an issue for some. since rank reset queues have been short and pings have been > 120 for me. havent played killer since before reset but I know queue times were ######### for both sides before that. I also play in NA
