Sincere Criticism from New Player.

Joined about a month ago near the end of TI. Got enough hours in to finally play ranked and begin my calibration. My experience so far has been pretty miserable due to the frequency in which I am paired up with team members in the US West and East region who cannot read or speak English.

I understand not everyone's primary language in the US is English, but for the majority it is. Why then am I getting paired with people who only speak Spanish, Russian, and some Asian languages?? I had to double check my settings to make sure the mistake wasn't on my end, but everything was correct.

I can appreciate that in this game one doesn't require verbal or written communication to be successful, but it truly does help substantially when the majority of your team is on comms and are coordinating effectively.

It is severely demoralizing to enter a game, say high and brainstorm so strats/counters and nobody understands or replies because they don't share the language. It is very frustrating.

I know, people will say just find a group of English speakers and play with them. But that doesn't really address the point why US servers are flooded with non- English speakers.

Someone said the best place to be paired consistently with US speakers is the Peru server. Is this true?

Anyway, I like the game but honestly probably won't play much more if its a coin flip on if i get English or foreign.
