Some underrated advice for climbing: don't play when tired/sleepy!

It heavily affects your performance: when tired or sleepy you're slower, less aware, and can't think properly. Also, happy new year!

Same with drunk and high. Stay out of ranked when doing that.

Though, people seem to think that being high doesnt effect your brain, but that is a whole arguement on its own.

When im drunk i play safer because i know im drunk so i try to play safer but i end up playing safer than normal And im usually very rash, so i end up playing better overall Depends on my drunken mood tho

when yous fucked up you just play on autopilot, this is what 90% of players do anyways so it doesn't matter.

oddly, I'd actually recommend playing later if you can handle it. It's...a bit cheap, but the same applies to your opponents and picking a fight at 3 am while you're well off can be an easy battle

league used to crush your sleeping schedule, but as people point out, it's not the same game

the trick is to know when you're tired or not, a morning schedule can provide the same advantage if you can keep it

I'd say there are a couple of tiers for rating player behavior with it

1 am to 5 am = easier matches (might include if you start at 5, don't remember), 5 - 8 am is still easier but not much of an advantage, 8 to 10 is the least advantage and then everyone is awake after that

For me is i find the opposite, early morning i only face good players and mid day i have easy wins vs kids that play after school.

well, think of it this way, the kids are not playing, so you have less chance of getting someone who doesn't know what they're doing on your team as well

Jokes on you I've been playing throughout the night, non stop.

(maybe this is why I'm still in bronze).

i pretty much solely play league past 3 am, does this mean i'd be daytime challenjour?

I mean, I've tried taking this guy's advice before, and it seems pretty valid for me. I'm not really a night owl. So, I picked up a MOBA called VG, and played ranked matches during one season ONLY past 12 AM. Only hit T7 bronze (That'd be like mid silver)

But when I only did matches during the morning, that season I ended up T9 bronze. (Low gold ish?)
