Hover over the Quick Play button to see game status information. Matchmaker Status shows you the percentage of 'Mech classes playing at that time. Below are the ping for each of the servers: North American, European and Oceanic. The above image was taken from the western coast of North America.

The small drop menu to the left of the Quick Play button tells MM which servers you are looking to play on. Only selecting the closest server may reduce your in-game latency, but may increase your wait time as MM creates matches.
