Tried an experiment where I would only play the game before 2pm EST A.K.A. when the kiddos are in class and I’ve got to say that my overall experience playing Valorant has increased. Not only did I have more games with teammates that communicated, but also less overall griefing! Played 2 weeks only before 2pm and played 2 weeks only after 2pm to test. During the 2weeks before 2pm, i counted only 1 person griefing while i counted a whopping 5 people griefing during the other 2 weeks after 2pm. There was a slight difference in the amount of smurfs i encountered but i lost count (🙃srry) so i dont want to give false info but it was a bit better before 2pm EST.

Edit: my b lol just before 2pm your time if you can—not specifically 2pm est. Just used to writing my timezone when talking online
