No, not really. Your ping is high because you're physically far away and require multiple hops to get to the game server, a VPN wouldn't change that.

VPN won't lower your ping, the further the server is away and the more hops the higher your ping and there is only so much you can do to lower it.

If anything a VPN would add more latency. Your only real option would be to physically move closer to your friends.

Two options:

1. Just live with it

2. Move to US or get your friends to move to Europe

“Remember to look up at the stars and not down at your feet. Try to make sense of what you see and wonder about what makes the universe exist. Be curious. And however difficult life may seem, there is always something you can do and succeed at. 
It matters that you don't just give up.”
