Turned out your setting could have already been well-optimized 

All the setting you have done.

Adjust bandwidth percentage > Still shoot first die first 

Adjust MTU > Still shoot first die first 

Do deep Traffic Prioritization > Still shoot first die first 

and many more that we have been doing for years. 

Me and my friends decide to do the research. and we have finally come up with interesting insights. And after we did this, I got nuke and my KD went from 2.7 to 2.92 in 5 Days!! 

My setting is pretty much standard, just same as most of you guys, but the magic is as following: 

SOME SERVERS ARE NOT GOOD FOR YOU !! 

Me and my friends are tracking good servers based on ip address. and block those IPs that don't perform well 

So we started to track every IP adresses we have been playing using Mikrotik router 

We give score based on KD. And we know that player skills are various, so we don't give score and decide right away if this IP is good until we come across to play this ip again. We test it for 3 times and mostly scores are close. This indicates that this IP is actually performing well. Then we average score latest 3 matches that we play on 1 single ip 

Red highlights are the poor performing servers. And we block these IP using Mikrotik router to make sure we don't matchmake to these servers again. 

Side note: This could affect SBMM too because lower server selection = low effect of SBMM 

 

My best recommendations for those who can sniff the ip. I suggest you guys to build your own list of data 

If you are in europe, start from Spain servers. I heard they are the best. avoid France and london servers. 

 

My info: 

My ISP: AIS Fibre 

Speed: 1000/1000 

Setup: Mikrotik RB4011 combo with Netduma 

Server Location: Singapore 

VPN: Yes 

VPN Location: South Africa 

I hope this helps !

I did the same thing during MW19 and thought it was true, I'd save all the servers that ran good & I got a nuke but some days when they would pop up I would have bad hit rego/lots of hit markers on people. Too many variables to take into account, what worked one week could be crap the next due to issues with the server, laggy opponents etc. This is why I stopped blocking servers and just leave whatever match is running like crap

thanks for input. I have been using this method for weeks, still no problem. but who knows it might happen like your case. Anyway I won't expect much from this. Just keep testing
