Me and my friend are same region and we're facing some problems when trying to connect with people around like:
- Lobby bug: We have to reset like around 10 times to get a lobby without any glitches or bugs such as invisible mate or glitchy ready button / cage drop for host.
- Long dropdown: Even if we passed the first bug we face a holy long cage dropdown can up to 45min!
- Buggy mates: Even if we passed the 2nd bug we face a bug inside the game like game crash or stuck mate (POV for some players not moving but for other is moving)

all this happens when we try to connect to different region player, but everything goes fine if we play together (same region) even for the 2nd bug we take long time dropdown.
