[Hatsune Miku]

Pretty sure friend wise it's not needed no matter the region although it does swap the group from server to server of each of your respective regions if you forget to change regions.

Though changing region wise I use a vpn or to be exact Mudfish (technically not just a vpn) and chose the exact overwatch server of my choice. With Europe having

Europe (Amsterdam)
Europe (Finland)
Europe (Germany)
Europe (Paris)

as Overwatch servers To choose from.

Is that for the console version? Since with the PC version there's still an option to switch from American to the Asian server my ping goes from 10 to 120-150 and that's before joining with my friend from Tokyo. Though admittedly I only check the pings for this when I'm in practice and custom mode.
