Best time to play to avoid trolls and kids?

[pateuvasiliu]

I'm an european, playing from Romania, on North America.

As such I have the advantage of being 7 hours ahead of the East Coast and I get to choose when I want to play.

What's the best hour at which to play Ranked? I'm thinking early in the day there won't be a lot of kids/drunks.

Play with a team, you'll never encounter trolls if you choose your teammates wisely.

There's always a chance of getting trolls in game, but late night is the best based on my experience, you mostly get losers that only care about LoL at this time, so they won't quit or troll. Mornings are bad, very high chance of getting a quitter, noons are not much better, evenings are when kids are back from school, so it's risky, but I actually get few trolls at this time and quitters are not an issue. Weekends are good at all times except of midday, you'll get plenty of people afking cuz "QQ gotta go, dinner is ready".

It's LoL... There's literally no time when you can play without trolls and kids.

If that's what you want play chess or something. Otherwise you're going to be disappointed.

By the way, people who complain about trolls etc. generally flame in game. I realize you probably just lost like 2 games in a row but we have a thread for that.

In the morning xD All the crazy kids are in school Otherways in the late night, just avoid the 14-22, worst hours

Yea, I feel that 08-13/14 is the best hours to play.

4am in the morning.

Then you get people who are high off their ass or smashed drunk on your team.

I flame all the time.

I let bad players know what I feel about them.

Morning seems to be the best time, or middle of the day while all the kids are at school

Give me a replay of any game you've played and I'll point out every wrong move you did just like that. I'm not sounding elitist or like a prick but I'm kindly pointing out that there is no doubt you have this, "it's my team not myself" mentality.

Don't think that just because I'm in the high Plat/low Diamond area that I'm just trying to jerk you off, I watched a couple of my games recently and was cringing at simple things that I could have done better.

If you limit your playing hours on the premise of less trolls and better games and high % of winning at a certain hour, you're going to have a bad time.

[Perkypenguin]

It is not possible, sorry!

I play on oce and the best time to que is 3-5am, any later and all the kids playing from china are up.

The very best thing is to just mute anyone who starts chatting. Even if they are just trying to be "fun" in /all chat. Mute them, focus on your play, use your pings, chat is overrated.

You will always have the chance of getting a drunk or high dude on your team, or some "kid" who trolls. Though I feel that it is more the adults that troll in video games. Kids (14-18?) take it more serious. But then again, everyone can have a bad game (Not getting what you wanted in champion select, a bad start where you die from a stupid choice/"bad luck", etc), then go troll mode.

But one thing I can't get said enough - don't respond to flamers/trollers, you won't help anyone if you start a flame war, and you get more focused on your chat than your plays, then play even worse than what you all ready are doing.

And as Toph here said, show us some logs and we can point out your own mistakes, and how you can improve your game, even if you are playing with trolls/afks/drunks. Any game can be carried, if you are good enough, some may be stupid hard to do so, and you have to do a 1v5 game. But it is a reason the people in master tier get there after 50-70 games won, while some stay in Bronze 1 after 500.

i've found that when i play early in the morning before lunch, everyone is at least in a better mood.
