I've noticed that players during the morning (EST) are THE WORST I've ever seen while the players during the evening can be pretty good. In the morning, NOBODY communicates, nobody coordinates, and they all act like a bunch of window-licking idiots. I try to communicate, but it goes largely, if not completely, ignored. Sure, I get the occasional bad match in the evening as well, but at least the ratio isn't 9/10 vs 1/2 bad/good. I'm not a great player, but I listen and try to work with the team. I'm just curious what general thoughts are on this. Have you noticed it? Maybe I'm the problem? It gets pretty frustrating.

If you consider the time difference between countries, there are people sleeping when I wake up. It's strange, very strange. It feels odd for gaming.

Times and days do seem to matter, as do good events.

I'm on the other coast (PST), and I also notice that that early (05:00 - 08:00 AM) quickplay is pretty random and laid back, late evening (10:00 - midnight) you see most players are aligned with factions and gameplay is much tougher. Doesn't necessarily mean they're more organized as a quicklpay team, just seems like more skilled overall. Sundays are the same thing, quite a bit tougher gameplay, lots of premades rolling random players. Of course when a really good even starts, things are pretty much a feeding frenzy, so you need to drop with a mech that can function well in a chaotic environment with zero team support.

I tend to be successful during the nights.

The time you play absolutely makes a difference. During the peak hours, which is NA evenings and weekends, you'll see the most organization or best teams. It can be easier to play during off peak hours.
