Chicago Server Ping Increase Midwest

I live in the capital of Kansas and after I pinged the new server, it returned at 134 ping, which would be a large increase from my normal 98 ping. I dismissed it and just said that in game it would be better. After getting online today. I had 134, and I'm greatly discouraged.. How is it that I'm having a ping increase when I am closer to the server than ever before? My ISP is AT&T.

I'd personally assume that you didn't ping the new server. Not everyone was selected, and you're probably just experiencing a lag spike for the Portland server. How are you sure?

The ping for the new server is 104.160.131.1

I'm getting 25 ms in Pittsburgh, PA
