does anyone notice that depending on when you play, you end up playing different types of people (especially in placement matches)?
i noticed this mainly in 2v2 placement matches (since i can do various iterations of these whereas in 1v1 i cannot), but if i'm doing placement matches on a normal weeknight, i can do ridiculously stupid shit like mass carriers and win, whereas if i play placement matches late at night (as in like midnight) on a friday/saturday, i get creamed even if i play "seriously". this has resulted in all my placement matches where i play on weekends i end up in bronze and on weekdays i usually end up in silver or gold (my "serious" 2v2 is platinum with ~80 games played)

Think of the demographics that are playing at certain times.
If I play 1v1s on weekends I usually dominate. Weekday nights is a toss up depending on time.
