Speed depends on your connection and the distance to the server. I can choose a route with Auto; compare speeds with and without the VPN.
A VPN cannot exceed the capacity of your connection. Traffic passes through another server, which affects speed and latency.
Refresh latency on the Servers screen and compare several locations. A lower ping is usually better for games.
On Windows, games need All traffic mode. If several servers behave alike, tell me your connection type and device.
