Why are killer/survivor queues longer at certain times in Europe?
Title. You have to wait for about 10 minuter for a killer lobby in the morning, and survivor queues are instant and vice versa in the evening. I see no reason behind this, i've never got an instant lobby as killer in the morning.

you may be sarcastic but you're not wrong. there always has to be at least one russian player in a lobby, lol

I can guess that there are more killers than needed among people who play all the time, and people who play after their worktime aren't prone to get stressed by playing killers, so they play only survivors.

I could accept that as one explanation, but there is no consistency. One day i got literally instant killer lobbies all day. Next day, i managed to play 3 games as killer within 2 hours; at that point i gave up playing killer. They might messing with the matchmaking system in the background.
Additionally, today i have the feeling they turned the MMR on again...
Hopefully, im just paranoid.

Dunno. For me it is moreless the same all the time, but I rarely play in workday mornings.

Amount of people at the time or amount of people playing as killer/survivor at the time. If few killers are playing while many survivors are playing, que times for killers are low, while survivor que times are increased and vice versa. If few people are playing, oof. There's also ranking that's taken into account.

I know this, but it doesn't explain why the queue times for killer for example are longer than survivor in the morning and shorter in the evening. It's been like this since i remember. There has to be at least one day where people are playing more survivor in the morning so killer queues are shorter.

Lots of people have jobs, school, family responsibilities, etc. to deal with in the morning and get free time in the evening. So people who have the day free and log in early aren’t likely to have their friends online to play with, so they’ll be more likely to play killer. Whereas when everyone jumps on in the evenings they play with their friends in a SWF.

uhhh.... yes it does. That just means that people tend to play killer more in the morning and play survivor more in the evening wherever you're at.

I've noticed that during the day, killers are far more chilled and survivors are the same. The game is actually enjoyable. I think more killers play earlier to get some actual enjoyment, because once that sun drops, the sweatfest begins and killers begin to cower in fear again.
