It's the Trolling Hour! I think I found the most toxic time to play.

Well, I was up late last night finishing up a project, and jumped on around 5AM EST... and literally half of the people in my games, on either team, were just fundamentally unpleasant human beings. Some BM'd in champ select and sat alone in their lane all game, some spent half the time screaming at each other for being bad and spent the other half being worse, some seemed solid for about five minutes but went AFK at the slightest sign of adversity.

I believe I sat through 3-4 games in a row, hoping I could at least fluke into a fun game to wind down... but eventually I realized it was a fool's errand and just took the demotion-bound trajectory.

Even the opposing, winning teams went pants-on-head looney toons in post-game chat, screaming at each other about who was carrying whom.

So tell me: When do you think is the most toxic time to play? Are there any Riot statmongers out there with some numbers on precentages of honors given and punishable reports?

I'll attach a poll, but I'd like to hear some justifications as to why you chose your 'trolling hour'.

Unfortunately I have not seen a pattern to a time as to when people are toxic. I also don't play at every single one of these time frames so I have no frame of reference to give you an accurate assessment of my experience.

Huh. Maybe it's just in my garbage elo? Err, I mean, my pool of woefully misunderstood genius that is held back by clearly inferior teammates whose mistakes made me go 0/5/0 in lane and 1/12/4 by our 20-minute surrender...

Srs, tho... was I just super unlucky?

Honestly, and this isn't just for the sake of arguement, I do think you just got super unlucky. Maybe if you did this everyday for a week, and every night was like this... but just one night... probably just chalk it up to chance.

Time zones are a thing. Even if we go by your claim it doesn't hold true for everyone until we know what zone you're in and convert to our own.

That's true. I'm EST, so I think I was on in that magic window where it was unreasonably late on the west coast as well--5am EST is still 2am PST, so all the good boys and girls are in bed all across the nation.

Well..... as someone who has well been the toxic guy and played with a lot of toxic guys I can say its weekend nights 10pm to 7am all of my most toxic games have happened right around there. In this time frame I have seen someone leak 200 plus account username and passwords I have seen people int 90% more often at this time. I have been banned at this time more than any other. So it is definitely undisputed has to be this time.
