Usually I play comp on the weekend, but lately I’ve been playing a lot everyday and it feels a bit more difficult during regular weekdays.
It’s like there is more teamplay, coordination and increase in individual skill difference.
Has anyone else noticed this or am I just bad?

Nope. I feel like during weekends, events and holidays, there is much more trolls and noobs in game and I lose much more than during week.

Lol, my experience has been the opposite. You just have to farm the casuals 
I play mostly supports so I have no chance if I get throwers and feeders in my team, lol…

I would assume it depends on your rank.
I imagine it’s harder during the weekend at lower ranks and easier at higher ranks.
I have a whole thing in my head about it but I’m too tired to type it out. It’s pure speculation anyway.

I guess it depends on what elements feel “easy” for you.
For games in general, more people play on weekends, many of whom only play on weekends, and naturally those tend to be the more casual variety of players who spend their non-weekend time doing things other than gaming. In competitive games, because that audience only plays at set times, they inadvertently play in a shifted different MMR bracket, due to many other casual players playing at the same set times.
In other words, weekend-only players tend to be slightly over-ranked compared to someone who plays every day or on random days. In a team game, that can make things easier or harder for you. Back when I played StarCraft II (1v1 format) and had to move all my playtime to weekends because of college and work, my matches became noticeably easier on average than when I was playing on weeknights.

I feel in most weekends, the match quality drops down to below 0, and usually means i also dont win as much, or have bigger loss streaks.
Even Win Streaks feel meh on weekends, especially at evening / night.
Ofc, u will have exceptional weekends as well over your gametime.

Have you heard of the expresión Sunday driver? Well that’s the reason. Weekend players are usually fulltime working people who can only play on the weekends. Every game i play has the same issue when it comes to competitive and weekends
I personally like to believe that during the week you get the real tryhards, people who want to improve and rank up and during the weekend the players who take a more casual aproache are also hitting the ranked queue.

You tend to see more casual players and kids playing at weekends and during holiday periods.
For me Saturday night is a hard avoid.
The only theory I’d put out there is that playing during times of non-peak number of players leads to the lowest amount of ideal pairings for both teams. If the closest match it can find is like a 2340 SR versus a 2450 SR team.
When during peak hours you might more regularly find a 2400 vs a 2425 game where with enough people its easier to find more ideal pairings.
weekdays = less pepegas, more dedicated players, so it is harder to ballance pogchamps due lack of pepegas. So, at weekends it is easier to survive cause nobody hits their shots and plat is actual plat, like any other rank, smurfs are spread around.
