Clash feedback: If you're having it on the weekend, why not have it during the day?

Megu·Aug 26, 2019·3 votes·3,801 views

8pm PDT only makes sense if you live on the West coast. I live on the East coast, so my games are going beyond 1am. We forfeited both of our last matches (after winning the first two both days) because it was too late for everyone and it was 1am on a Monday. For the next clash, could we have it at a more reasonable time for East coasters? Opening up the lock-in window for all tiers would mean MANY more people could play them out or play them in general. Especially if on the weekend, it can definitely be earlier (or even have earlier lock in times for everyone).

Riot is on the west coast, I assume. But either way, Riot isn't the best decision makers as of late anyways...

While I know Riot is on the West coast it's still pretty bonkers for them to completely forget about everyone NOT living on the West coast. It's kinda like they didn't care at all for anyone not on the West Coast. Cuz even Mountain time would have games ending around midnight, especially if their tier 1. Just seems silly to have it on the weekend if not during the day, especially on a Sunday night.

Probably to allow people like me who work during the day on the weekends to have a chance to play.

I mean it makes sense, but then what about the people who have to get up early for work OR school? or the people who work evenings on weekend? or the people who work nights on weekends? See how you can't just say "well this one group of people needs to be catered to"

1am isn't that bad imo for 1 day a week. Everyone is slow and nothing gets done on mondays anyway, go for it.

Not sure what your job is like, but mine requires me to be firing on all cylinders at the start. And some folks have 40+ min commutes so any sleep they lose is felt badly by 11am or so. You might not need to be 100% or even 50% for a part time shift job but there are more than a few people playing LoL that work regular 8-5 jobs that can't reasonably stay up until 1am playing video games. If Clash games are going until 1am EST then it should be on a Friday or a Saturday, not Sunday.

Software engineering. anyway, then that's unfortunate, just like people who are scheduled to work weekend nights you are out of luck. The jobs where you cannot stay up late one day a week are in the vast minority. Take an adderall and drink a coffee, idk.

Exactly what the other guy said. "nothing gets done on mondays anyway" is unfortunately not true

"People who have to get up early on Mondays are in the minority" is what you are saying, which is extremely incorrect. What about people with school? You're missing the point about this post, which was about having wider windows of lock in time, like tier 4 did. If tier 4 can finish before round 2 for tier 2 games can even start, people who work nights, have to get up early, etc. would be able to play. This is just feedback offering a suggestion and you aren't even reading it, just looking to shoot down ideas.

no, it's called be a little tired. People who can't afford to be a little extra tired one day a week are in the extreme minority. School is a joke and requires bare minimum to score in the B+/A- range. I didn't go to bed a minute earlier than 3am when I was in school so don't throw that at me. It's not a big deal. Grab a coffee and do your work. If anything highschoolers tend to stay up later than the majority of the population and since that age is riot's target demographic....makes sense to me.

You're getting awfully angry at a stranger over the internet over something that doesn't matter to you, so I'm ending it here. GLHF on the rift :)

IMO the time is OK for West coast on a Friday, cause you can Q up later as well, but I'd agree, there could be more slack on weekends. Plus, they got rid of Friday matches anyway.

MeguAug 27, 20191 votes

Yeah, I'd understand Friday because then West coast has time to get home from work and play one. But that would be keeping in mind ONLY the Pacific coast. I thought they were having it on the weekend to avoid that kind of thing
