I would also add that the amount of team killing is noticeably higher on the EU servers .

Yes, indeed. And these teamkills are usually followed up by "sry, i'm from NA and not used to such a high ping"

Well, lets get real, the servers are split for less than a week and the event ensures that the distribution of NA/EU players is roughly the same on both server types. With the majority of the playerbase playing on both servers, it is very unlikely that there actually a real statistical difference.

Any perceived difference is probably a result of a streak of bad games or some personal bias. To be honest im not completely free of this myself, i could swear that everytime i get teamkilled, it is done by an NA player who needs to "secure" the kill on an already disabled enemy. Of course that not the case, but i still perceive it this way, probably because they are more vocal about it in team chat.

From my experience on the EU servers it's from mostly the EU players and not the NA ones. On EU servers people just shoot into each other hoping to score last hit on an enemy. I've had some really surreal matches on the EU servers.

It seems you spend a lot of time watching pings and kill spam. Time that could be used otherwise. Are you perhaps from EU?

Edit: Well, you are indeed from Scotland and as such an Eu citizen. Well, that explains a lot, i guess.

Or you know i could have been playing the game for a long time and know which region which unit tags go with. And i can see peoples pings when the board comes up before the match actually starts.

pgi european players superiority chart truly hurt the feelings of american players... considering the amount of bs which they try to claim in this thread; like that chart it's statistics which doesn't matter but playing on european servers they have some feeeeling (their feelings matter!) that those are bad; oh surely there are bad players on the european server, americans play there after all
