Lag is always a disadvantage for the one experiencing the lag which isn't always the one causing the lag. There's a reason high ping players get kicked from actual competitive game matches and it ain't cause they're the ones at a disadvantage.

I've tried it and I always do better and experience less lag on the Asian & Euro servers than the American server and I'm in the Midwest of the US.

Lag is always a disadvantage for the one experiencing the lag which isn't always the one causing the lag. In this case there can't be anyone causing the lag. You can cause the lag if you're the host of a game, and since there's no host, the only plausible solution is that in ideal conditions it's the battle server lagging. That's it. And please try to remember: framerate lag is different than network lag.
So you're saying I have worse framerate on the US server than the Asian & Euro servers?
It's not so much the player themselves causing the lag, it's the system in place to keep high ping players from being at a disadvantage that is causing the lag.
It doesn't matter what anyone says, I've experienced being on the other side when my connection was throttled for going over my limit so I know the advantage a **** poor connection to the battleserver gives as I had that advantage for half a month and I was an absolute wrecking ball in every match I played in.

With all due respect I may have for a stranger, you should seriously consider checking what lag compensation does (because I think you are referring to lag compensation when you say "I know the advantage a **** poor connection to the battleserver gives as I had that advantage for half a month").
My personal experience: it happens that the higher the ping, the shittier the whole game gets for me. And it's not just me. We in Italy are known to have a really bad connection overall. And happens to all of my corpmates and all of the other italians I know.
Yes, I was referring to lag compensation both there and when I spoke of "the system in place". I know it's not causing lag in the traditional sense but most people would describe what happens because of it as lag so it's easiest to just call it lag so that others can have a loose understanding of what is being discussed.
