Matchmaking only queuing over 200 ping regions
I'm not sure why, but recently matchmaking has been taking forever, and I'm only getting lobbies with 100+ ping. Is anyone else having this issue?

I've noticed that while using a VPN matchmaking takes significantly longer, and about 75% of the time I end up in a 180-220 ping match. I'm not doing anything weird with the VPN like pretend I'm in a different country, and this is the only game it seems to affect this way. For now I just disable it while playing, but there is probably some weird stuff going on in the background causing high ping under certain circumstances.

First go here and check if you are shadow banned: https://support.activision.com/ban-appeal
Login and continue, and if your account is under review, then you should wait for 7 days. If not, then probably poor internet connection.

It's the VPN, I have mine set to my region, yet it still queues for bizarre 200 ping lobbies

It's weird though because I legit have not ran any VPN. So idk why it's been putting me across the world to play games? Legit getting put me in 140 ping games for no reasons. I shouldn't be shadow banned either. But I can ask to appeal it?

Because you are shadowbanned.
Not sure why I would be? Haven't touched a VPN or anything since. Don't use any cheats either.

I'll run the appeal and see whatsup.

it doesn't necessarily mean you are cheating, but it does mean a lot of people have reported you for cheating.
Will quitting games too early cause a shadow ban or no? I just left a few games. I also did play well a few games, but nothing wild.

Theres a setting in Graphics thats called something like “Texture Streaming” if you turn that off the game will stop downloading while you play.

Then you should get unbanned in about a week

I don't think it would make any difference unless you made a new Activision account as well.

Best to wait it out. If you did nothing wrong then you will get unbanned, it just means your account is under review.

I agree it sucks though, the system is def open to abuse.
FS. Hopefully I'll be back on Monday. I really wanna play COD with friends :/

Or you get punishment for nothing just like me.
I got ban for cheating or manipulating files yesterday. I never did things like these.
Worst security system ever. Also stealing....
