Problem with SEA vs China server

Hi, I'm a streamer from SEA and I mainly play Killer. I've noticed that when I'm matched against players from China, they often seem to run faster, and when I hit them near a pallet, they scream but don’t get injured...then I end up getting stunned. Their ping is usually around 20–40ms, while mine is around 90–120ms during those matches.
I realized that when I'm actually on the SEA server, my ping is around 50–60ms. During those matches, the movement feels smoother and it's much easier to catch up to survivors.
It's really frustrating when I'm up against survivors from China, their movement feels faster while mine feels slower. Sometimes it's so frustrating I feel like givingup. Is there any way to get matched only in SEA servers?
here is the screenshot of the ping:

And this is a screenshot of my last match in SEA server, all players ping are almost same with mine and my movement doesn't feel heavy and even tho some of them has plays really well I still can catch up to them really easily :

    There's been a lot of this kind of thing for a while now. High ping lobbies on both sides.

    There are a lot of killers especially who abuse ping by using a VPN to different regions, generally survivor having higher ping isn't an advantage to them. I know as I like to play NA from OCE and as survivor I cant greed, I get hit through pallets and windows and I really have to play ultra safe.

    You may be experiencing cheaters if they are consistently fast? Ping will not make survivors run faster

    Since DBD is banned in China players there VPN to other regions, hence their higher ping.

    After several updates since 2024, the ping on the sea server has become high due to players from China. Perhaps the developers are trying to speed up matchmaking, but this has resulted in an imbalance in the ping between sea and Chinese players.

    I've experienced something similar. When playing survivor or killer, when I encounter Chinese players, my ping increases to around 80 or 90, but when I encounter fellow sea players, my ping drops to around 40.

    I hope the developers can fix this server issue.
