    Let's face it, no one uses those 30 seconds for its intended use (strategizing). No one ever went "alright guys here's the plan..." and the team went "yeah let's do that good plan".

    I personally use the precious time to rub one out (picturing pugna skipping through the forest in a skimpy dress). I'm usually the last person to leave the fountain as well.

      usually I just try to convince the team that it is okay to swap lanes if there are unfavorable matchups

      like one time I played LC against brood, so I told my terrorblade to swap with me and go offlane with the support so I can fuck her in the safelane while farming spiders but this was 3k so they kept trying to convince me that terrorblade is the carry so I should go offlane

      so yeah I think it is the best to use this time to masturbate to relieve yourself of sexual tension

          When else are you going to practice the perfect eye warding?

              You can make adjustments to your starting items based on the enemies last picks. Also (if you're 4/5) because you do this in strategy time, as soon as the game starts you can instantly give tangos, smoke, and tp to put out your wards well before the horn is close to starting.

                    I feel like I'm the only person on my team who ever tries to predict lanes.

                      I always do it
                      But it never comes true
                      I think I need to predict more 2-1-2 or 2-1-1 and jungle since that seems like the most common line up I face

                          If we have team for fb (disables, slow, stuns) i am trying to convince my team to smoke and go for it. Usually ending up with rune and 1-2kills.

                          If we dont and everything is clear, I just chill and wait.

                          As well, i amh usually between first 2-3 picks, so I go smoke while waiting for the rest to pick and for the game to start.

                                  I just stare out of the window, but some people actually tryhard checking accounts on db before they pick.

                                  I remember when you could check others' profiles when the game was lunching. When I saw someone on 15 losing streak in my team or 30 winning strek in enemy team (booster) - instant dodge. - that was perfect way to get good quality of the games. Now you are forced to play with people you get matched with and thats it.
