Playing in evenings / night time
Why people playing there are so tryhard ? The gameplay is so different than playing in afternoon or morning ( wich is non sense because its always afternoon somewhere)

Because that's when the SWF buddies have clear schedules for their full team, and despite all the arguments otherwise even the least sweaty full squads are ridiculously difficult to beat because there's a difference between "not being sweaty" and "playing with 3-4 decent players and comms."
That drive killers to.play more sweaty because ######### losing to what are depressingly often a bunch of arrogant shites (props to the teams that aren't, y'all're lovely and I appreciate you), and that drives solo and smaller SWF parties to play sweatier just as a reflexive response and that drives even more killers to be sweatier and it's just a clusterfuck of people that wouldn't ordinarily be tryharding but are because it's that or get steamrolled.

Pretty much this. I play on the EU servers, and early morning/afternoon, the games are so chill. Survivors are actually fun to VS, killers are more relaxed. The game is actually fun. But then as soon as it hits evening, the SWF squads hit the scene, and suddenly every killer is injecting adrenaline into their veins as the survivors begin to hoard keys, and killers prepare their moris.

Makes sense
But hard times for solos survs like me this is boring. Solos should be differencied

Ppl get home from work and want to play with their friends. I feel like there is also an increase on the survivor side and a decrease on the killer side during these time slots. This could be why rank 20 baby killers go up against rank 1 survivors...

I noticed a similar thing. Killers who are more about fun and less about sweat tend to be on after midnight my time. The later in the day it gets the worse it gets.

I'll sign off on this, lately I've had a slew of crappy games as solo survivor during the day against cheap, sweaty killers. I play at night and am waiting 10-15 minutes for a game, but more often than not, the games are more enjoyable to play.

That's pretty much every game with any form of versus. Morning/afternoon most people are at school or work. After dinner into the late hours is when most people get on.

because the Qs are so odd I play killer at night and survivor in the morning.

Us based: I do agree, in the midmorning/ afternoons, even as a solo player there is WAY more co-op between survivors. Sure you get it with evenings but once you're hooked you're pretty mush out of luck. Rarely in evening games (say, after 8) do you see teams of random players actually cooperate and complete gens or distractions. While I haven't run into key hording or mori's, I have noticed that just general bs play occurs ( I'm looking at the Dr who insta killed the survivor he threw at my feet while I was on the hook yesterday).

Most players that're serious about the game usually wake up late at night to play DBD. At least that's what I've noticed over the years since it feels more casual during the day than it does at night.
It also accounts for the spike in Survivor queues at night, so that's also something else to think about. Of course this changes overtime, but usually the more "experienced" or "serious" players play at night.
I forgot the mention that this is the case for my Timezone (Eastern Standard Timezone) but it might be different for other Timezones.

morning is also the time where you can run into the same people several times in the row and you get the 'not you again' farming matches at times.

I'm so glad I saw this post. I've relatively new, I got to rank 17 on Bubba and was giving Spirit a try this weekend. After 9 or 10 I was getting absolutely rolled by survivors. I was getting matched against rank 3 and 4 survivors for some reason. I started getting abusive messages on PSN, had to change my message settings.
Good to hear it's not just me encountering these people, I'll log off at 8:30 from now on.

Just out of curiosity, do you play much killer? I definitely get that as survivor, but when I play killer it sort of turns into a coin toss as to whether I get 4 hardcore memers or Seal Team Blend
Edit: Uh, maybe "casual memers" is a better phrase. I'll leave it up to you to decide.

Honestly not very much. If I ever do play killer it's for challenges and even then I don't have the heart to kill anyone. I just wanna be spoopy.

Well in both roles it tryhards tho

It's the opposite for me. After around 7PM GMT all I get are 150 ms lobbies with grey or green rank teammates.
