This useless company decided to remove the South African server. I had a good 2ms ping, now every server is 300ms+. Will a VPN reduce the ms?
No, VPNs will only increase the milliseconds needed for the data to travel. Instead of traveling from your phone to the server and back, it needs to go to another server in another country and back.
Edit: Some VPNs may reduce latency, but only if the provider has terrible routing. You can try with ones like 1111, but I don’t think it will be significantly better in your situation.
Also, use correct flairs.
Ass servers
A lot of times everyone in a server has the same ping 300ms
