Dubai Server - Ranked Matchmaking
It was removed. No rank games for Dubai server. Why? Well, at night people abused this trick to queue up as solos at the same time, and end up in the same game, sometimes in the opposing team. This caused problems but wasn't too big of a deal. The REAL problem was that Higher ranked players couldn't find games for a long time, and when they did, they got matched up with the same 50 people or something...
.
I need rank in Dubai. My country's internet only gives good ping there and not anywhere else. Also, I'm sick of SEA server. Too toxic and cancerous.

>I have a proposal... why not merge Dubai and India servers together and the "Sub-Continent" or "Middle East" server instead? It will bring potential tens of thousands more players from India. A healthy number of players for high ranks as well. Easy maintanance as well.

I'm in the same boat here in South Africa, have to play with over 200 ping ranked EU West. The problem was that people from other regions abused the system to easily rank their accounts up. They would queue on Dubai or South Africa because of our low player base and easily get matched up with each other or their bots and win matches quickly.

How is the ping from Dubai and India? I've got a feeling it's got to do with different ISPs and communications companies that they don't just merge them.

Well, I'm from Pakistan. The best we get for SEA is 102. In Dubai we get 50, and in India we get 70. And yes there is a thing with the ISPs but the one that is used throughtout the country is the Broadband "PTCL". There are others like StormFiber and Nayatel that are faster but that's all they are, fast. The latency is similar.
