Best Time To Play?

Mornings or early afternoons at weekends are good. Teams work well together, matches are often close and on a personal note, I've had some of my highest scoring matches at this time.
Early evenings (about 7pm GMT) also tend to be pretty good.
After 8pm GMT, matches start to go down hill. It feels like most matches turn into cap rushes, teams scatter, completely ignore plans, and there are a lot more rookie errors. It's a lot less enjoyable, and matches seem a lot more one-sided.
Anyone else noticed this?

I wonder if it might be the difference in time zones. Your 8pm GMT is my Noon, if I'm not mistaken, so eight hours later, about an hour or so after I'm able to begin playing, there's a completely different crowd of folks. Before 7pm my time, things seem to be pretty good, however.

That is when I encounter more European player with Ping not too far from mine and we can hit each other consistently.
There also seem to have better teamwork going on in most match.

Best performance, most fun matches - it degrades every single day after a patch til the next one.

I don't want to point at anything particular but it's rather curious see how much the normal flow of gameplay today has changed from everyday midweek.
Just like if there was some kind of special holiday allowing a lot of people to play out of their habitual playtime....

Your right today the games started to suck around seven pm UK time which is much earlier than usual, funily games this afternoon were to the usual standard.

Truly sad to write that but until the match maker gets an overhaul I just dont see it a fun and the grind is too much. And since that wont happen till UI2 launches - see you summer 2014!

Socially best time is non-US peak times, tend to be less immature gamers per capita.
Either way, Australians end up in a class of their own :-p

Yep, same here.
Kind of Ironic, the US /NA players (and of course some others) ***** and moan about players from other locales "ruining the game with their high pings and rubberbanding", but then their prime time starts and overall tactics and intelligence of gameplay seek to discover new lows on a daily basis...

Actually, we're all play drunk at those times. Even if we drop with 4 after 8pm at least 2 of us are jolly enough to try to shoot their own feet... so yes, it's gettin' worse
You often can tell which side will loose by carefully counting typos in early game chat
