Is there a "best time" to play ranked?

Hi hi! New here.

Loads of my friends say "now's a bad time to play ranked" or "the sweats are on at this time" or "its smurf oclock". Is this actually a thing though? I do feel that smurfing and stuff is suuuuuper bad atm.

Have people figured out the best time to play to get the best games?

What works for you?

Has anyone done the statistics for it!?

Thoughts?!

EDIT: I'm only Plat, but apparently this is one of the worst ranks for smurfing and stuff. So apparently time matters... My friend who is adamant about this being a thing is Immortal 2-3. I think she peaked at like 300-400 RR or something.

Does anyone know how much time it takes to regain accuracy?

Title, I want to know how much time it takes between full running to full shooting accuracy when you let go of movement key or when you counter strafe. I tried googling this, but nothing popped up. Anyone have any idea?

If you're chat banned I don't want to be in a party with you.

I see it all the time guys who are chat banned and invite you so they can have comms but I'm sorry I don't want to be in a party with someone who was chat banned. ​ Also thank you Riot for not letting chat banned people play ranke...
