Personally, I play two hours a day, in fact, I set a timer for two hours and don't stop playing until I hear the alarm. Even then, I sometimes play an hour or two extra. I feel that I'm improving fast this way, as I haven't even been playing for two months and am at top 600k.

I wanted to get some opinions on the matter, do I perhaps play too much, ( I don't think I do because from what I heard Vaxei used to play around five hours a day ) and how much do you guys play, I'm interested.

7-9 hours a day and there are no results in terms of rapid progress as you say

Do you mean I should play 7-9 hours a day, or do you mean if I play too much I won't improve?

I used to play around 5 - 6 hours a day a few months ago, but then I started taking a break from game (kept raging lol) and ever since I got back into playing (which was 2 days ago) I do around 2 - 3 hours, which has worked well for me.

Don't really know if its just me because I got back from a break, but playing around 2 - 3 hours caused me to actually set good scores and improve much better than the 5 - 6 hour sessions of me just choking plays and smashing my desk.

tfw you lose pp from a better score

Its great that you already feel like youre improving fast, even with those hours, which I consider to be not that much.
As the guy above me already hinted at, the hours played are not the primary factor in improvement, its what you do during your play sessions, however long might they be.
Id say keep your practising to a maximum and play as long as you feel like. That way even if you dont feel like playing and praccin feels boring or annoying you wont be torturing yourself just because you have some arbitrary time amount that you "have to play for" when you could be doing something else. But seems like in your case youd be enjoying playing in the first place so doesnt look like itll be an issue for you. Main point here being is that it's ok to have shorter sessions or not even playing for a day or two. 7 hours of practise a week is still 7 hours of pracc a week, doesnt matter if you practise for an hour a day or 7 in a weekend.

Play time isn't important at your rank. Just keep having fun, don't force yourself to play more to the point where you just feel like offing yourself. If you're enjoying the game, the improvement will come on it's own. Don't sweat too much champ. I only play about 1 to 2 hours a day but I got 5 digit in 4 months just by enjoying the game.

I used to play for about 3 hours a day, but now I only play for about 1-2 hours or until I feel like stopping. I'm still improving at this level of play time, and it's really working for me.

This level of play time is absurd. At that point, you'd be playing the game exclusively for potential improvement, without having any fun whatsoever. It sounds like a completely miserable way to spend your day.

It depends on how tired I am.
I personally play from 1hr to 5hrs.
No point in playing when you wanna rest

if you don't play 8 hours a day then you won't improve

I personally only play like 2-4 hours a day, but sometimes when I'm either having a good day or I'm enjoying the game a lot I'll spend up to like 7-8 (however I will alt-tab and take breaks every now and then).

However, it's not about how long you play, it's about what you do when you play. If you get on and only play easy maps you're only going to get better at easy maps, but if you get on and you practice maps you find a little difficult and practice skills you're lacking in, and you warm-up you're going to see progress. However, you should always play for fun.

TLDR: play more

I play 1 - 3 hours per day, depending on my mood (and how much assignments do I have)

same... 1-2 hours a day is plenty. playing too much may actually do the opposite of improving. The right answer to your question is, play as much as you like as long as your enjoying the game and balancing your mental state. Also, its just a game, your real-life problems and assignments like homework comes first before this game.

There is no set amount of time a person "should" play per day. It's up to you. Since you're asking for opinions, however, I think your two hours a day is just fine. I personally play for 1-4 hours in a day, and I'd say my average is 2-3 hours per day. If it gets in the way of life and things you need to be doing, then adjust the time you spend as needed.

And I agree with nature; to me, more than 5 hours per day is too much. After all, the average person sleeps about 8.5 hours, so there's roughly 15.5 hours that can be used in a day to accomplish activities. 7-9 hours per day would be spending about half of your entire day on a circle-clicking game. Have fun, and try not to overdo it

30 minutes to 1 hour (if im really feeling it). more than 2 hours is already too much, unless you have loads of free time and 0 sports 0 hobbies 0 school.
