Have anyone else in the EU noticed that people in pug groups (solo queuers) are playing very weird after midnight?During the evening it's fine, but after midnight it turns into the land of the mindless and lost.I find it to be a huge difference.Does anyone have a sensible explanation for this?

@Koochi-Q or ...or simply they are drunk 🙂

Do you suspect narcotics maybe a factor?

@Pulvertomten Night life baby!!! Look at it like this. Normal ppl get up in the morning and are groggy and out of it for at least an hour. Go to work or school and come back in the afternoon. They might take an afternoon nap before dinner. After dinner they’re satiated, but likely tired again from just waking up and having their carbohydrate stocks replenished, so they do stuff to stay awake like gaming, watching tv, talking, exercising their hobby or whateveryouwill.Come 10pm they’ll be awake again... they start to do laid back stuff cause they still have to work in the morning. Now arguably males are the predominate ones playing Apex. Males also rarely take care of their bodies well so instead of sleeping in early to get up bright and fresh the next day for work singing “It’s a beautiful day! The sun is shining... I feel good.. and... nooobody’s gonna stop me now”, they are gonna watch some shows or do low intensity stuff untill like 1/2am... including gaming...So past the 11pm part where all the excess adrenaline and sugar has faded or started to, that’s when they get bad with thinking. By midnight they’re just running on what they think is right and around 1am they don’t even think and just act but are so sleepy that they’re already dead but they just don’t see it. In their mind the game is just being bad with lag and such...And this is why ppl at night (00:00-06:00) suck usually... Weekend is a different story...But no, night isn’t bad... have you played from the early morning until 2pm?!?! Well more specifically 11am... if you wanna talk bad, that’s bad. I only ever get low lvl ppl who seemingly started apex after at least 1 year of not playing, mostly kids ranging from ages 9 to 13 who don’t know what they’re doing or some sleepy 18+ ppl who keep yawning...

@maximas1986 Also they might be tired. 🙂Sleep well and Play well.

@Pulvertomtenmindless - maybe, mostly due to being not sober.Also "gamers" usually have issues with games and they go to sleep late, very late -> they wake up very late. So I see that also skill level despite the fact that half of the lobby are drunk/stoned is also going up, because some crazy predators and masters just get into the game who are still better than me (read hacking) even when stoned.Plus younger age people are probably forced to go to sleep by their parents thus many of them leave the game, ratio of older, usually more skilled players remain creating lobby more competitive.As for Friday night and weekends... well that's the global issue, people just get drunk/stoned on these days to run away from their lives.

After midnight in EU, the intelligence level drops drastically.

@Pulvertomten I play after 12 on the London server, so not technically EU, although I live in Ireland, and find no issues at all like weirdness of play. It all seems perfectly normal to me, and jic you need to know: I don't drink alcohol. 😛😃
@hayhor xbox forever 🥳

@Koochi-Q I'm Irish and I don't drink. I take great exception to the vast generalisation you just posted, so I am going to visit you tonight to correct your incorrect lines of thought, by way of mind manipulation using a lighted spinning disk in the tree outside your bedroom window! 😃
