Here's a trick for you. There actually are matchmaking preferences in the game. By default it's on normal, where it tries to search for a match that you will have good connection to but still prioritizes getting you into one fast.

Switch it to "best" and the game will put you into matches where you can have less lag and connect better. This will make it harder to play with friends and makes it take a bit longer to get into a game but it works from what I've heard.

To change preferences press the "X" or "Square" button when in the playlist menu.
