When is the best time to play solo survivor?

Just a random thought. It seems to me like I have better chances of escaping and having decent games when playing in the evening than any other time. I still get silly teammates, but now they just have a higher prestige and maybe care even less about the game.


What has your experience being?

    Maybe I'm biased cause the past few days evening games have been more bearable.

    Never play in the morning, no weak killer is gonna get up early to greet you.

    I think I've made that mistake😅

    Related to that, I do notice that the killers I get in the evening can be more casual, but sometimes I also get rather strong killers but very rarely.


    Other times of the day it's usually that I get at least one teammate who is new. So even if the killer is average for me or we are matched and could win, he can come away with a win cause we cannot co-ordinate and the newbie lacks experience and information.

    I do have a better chance of escape in the evenings, I've noticed that too. I prefer to play during school hours though, usually from like 10am to midday. I probably get matched with all the other stay at home mums lmao

    Midday is usually when I have better luck as survivor. I usually switch to killer in the evening.

    The best times for me are generally Saturday and Sunday days. I've had 6/8 escapes to 7/8 escapes each day on the weekend. Then Monday night I normally got stomped like crazy. My theory is that a lot of new Killers play on the weekend so I generally get matched with Killers below my MMR and then Monday night I get matched with Killers above my now inflated MMR and get squished back down.

    The rest of the nights during the week I don't really notice a huge difference so I'm assuming that's what it is.

    You guys get to choose what time of day you play?

    Probably times when the most players are on. Weekends/evenings. But tbh i find there's never a good time to play solo q. I almost always swf with survivor.

    It's honestly more build dependant than time imo. Build a robust loadout with tools for problems and with enough practice you can win a lot more

    An anti tunnel, exhaustion and reusable healing perk really boost game enjoyment a lot in the roll

    Playing solo queue in EU from like noon till about 16:00 pm is like night and day compared to other times.

    Donno if i get matched with SWFs or just solos at my level in the afternoon. But from my exp i get the best teams in that time.

    I don't know why, but I do the highest escape streaks in the mornings on the weekends. My mates are better and the killers are average. During the week I only play between 5pm and 8pm. After that, the quality of my mates decreases significantly.
