Think I figured out why I lose a lot

Riot is there a place where I can see Population times?

I play late at night PST and get TONS of games and I mean TONS of games with Autofilled players (mostly Junglers) and they 100% lose the game just wondering around not knowing what to do.

Im thinking its that the server has low Population at that time and so its making shit MMing games just to get matches out there.

If I know when the Population is the highest I think MMing will be better.

I think this is just one small factor in the tidal wave of variables that make up our matches.

there are optimal times to play if you want to get the best possible teams. pending which server you're on that's either peak hours, or it's not peak hours. EUW peak hours are disastrous cause there's too many players online and skill variance is too big no matter what the matchmaking does, when activity troughs then there's enough variance of roles to get good games with minimal skill gaps. all my favourite games are played in the dead of night. NA likely has the opposite where low population leads to better matchmaking during peak hours and autofill agony during the nadir. also, as is known, most people trying to climb want to avoid getting high schoolers in their games lol, unless they're freakishly gifted.
