This poll is to see how many people think the US servers should be locked as a region for ranked play. This is mainly due to people not able to communicate with their team due to language barriers.

The frustration for many players is that they can't communicate with players in a highly competitive game that requires a lot of teamwork and communication.

Would a region lock fix the problem? are their alternative methods?

I don't know what that means?

Communication is overrated. I always mute all chat.

i am not pro region lock, and if so its because of lag and connection issue's language should never be a factor in my opinion (but then again iam into premade groups not pug)

I would like a region lock, or at least a language preference. Let alone the competitive issue, it's just simple more enjoyable to play when you can actually communicate with your teammates.
