Playing in middle of night vs daytime?

So I think playing at night is 10 times better. The players are better, are usually "smurfs", and my ping is better. I was playing last night between 2 and 6 am and it was glorious. I could trust everyone i was playing with. Daytime comes around and I cant do anything on support. MASSIVE skill difference a couple hours makes. Unbelievable.

a youtube by the name of DongHuap made a video about what times to play for the best players using data and explaining why, you should check it out

I experience massive toxicity at night time...

I find during the day at the weekend to be the worst time to play. Feels like most games are full of really unpleasant players who both play badly and are extremely toxic, often ruining games with their negative attitudes.

I feel like my games are far less enjoyable during the day. People tend to try harder across the board at night, making for somewhat closer and entertaining games.

I wish I could survive on little-to-no sleep :c

edit: probably what you see happening is you are in a timezone were the good people are awake.

Playing 2-6 am in plat 2 + is actually the worst experience you'll have in your life actually.

I'm a night owl but I dislike playing during the night. Often get paired with Chinese or Koreans who won't speak the Engrish.

Yeah of course, only the hardcore weebs are playing in the middle of the night.

Like minded people play at similar times i guess

Nocturnal gamers are the best haha

Also less kids which helps a lot

Better team comps and communication as well as players having better game knowledge

Such a night and day difference indeed

You are scaring me. Because I play at night and usually look around at my teammates and go... Don't touch that. Don't go there, you are going to die. Come here please, this objective is free if you come now. (get ignored) Wait 10 sec for player _________ to come and then we can..... and we're fighting 4v5 when behind. Ok.

But glad to hear you are having success.[slayer-jinx-wink]

Usually hard core players and less casual players in the middle of the night.

Not in my experience. Playing late of night/early in the morning often gives me terrible Chinese players who don't speak English.

i used to play ranked between 2-5am and i made it out of the bronze trap to the silver trap. now people dont play close enough to follow up in general so i stopped ranked little before the assassin rework came out.. game is definately better to play in the wee hours of the night because people on that time are usually people willing to put time into the win rather than come to get easy wins and snowball though less true now than it was a year ago with the surrender meta we got going on and its the worse its been in the past 2.5 years. Also day before holidays the que is the same as in the day because of casuals not having anything to do next day
