Well, as the title says, I get ridiculously high ping on games like Overwatch, Plants vs Zombies Garden Warfare 2, Warframe and so forth in the hours of, and I'm not entirely sure about the exact hour of when it begins, but its somewhere from 4~6 PM until midnight... Now, these are the times that I have to actually play games, and I only have 3 days per week off because of the army...
I have no bloody idea how to fix it... any help would be appreciated. I'm available to answer on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays.

Most times when it is time of day related ...especially the time you list...it is because of competition from other people for internet resources.

If you are using wireless it can be your neighbors interfering and that you might fix by changing the channel. Otherwise you need to run things like tracert and find where the delay is occurring. Most times you can do little to fix this problem if it really is due to a overloaded connection someplace in the path. If it was say in someone house this happens you could get a agreement from all involved to limit their usage or you could implement policies in the router. When it outside a house it is the wild west everyone grabs all they can and the ISP could care less if it is fair...
