You're literally useless by doing that, and it's nice to get early vision on the river and jungle.
Edit: You guys don't have to place wards, you're literally a walking vision machine, you can just sit in the bushes and give vision before your minions get to lane.
Mysticman8911 votesJust going to point out that bard might be an exception for how he should spend his pre-1:30, as his map location influences the initial chime locations (in particular, he should probably be hanging out between the two bot turrets).
For everyone else, people really ouaght to be at the various jungle entrances keeping an eye out for invades. I probably won't blame anyone for not wanting to ward (as I understand most laners want to keep their trinket to protect them for early ganks), and I understand if you don't want to poke your head into the enemy jg for fear of getting murdered, but there's literally no harm in watching the jg entrances until creeps reach your lane.
SpinnerMask8 votesAlso Heimer. He needs to set up his turrets. And annie/malazhar might be a bit late if they charge up their passives first.
Mysticman899 votesAlso various champions who might want to start with traps (lane shaco, some cait starts, maybe nid, etc).
The key thing is people shouldn't be idling pre-1:30. Either be providing useful vision, or be setting something up, but hanging out under turret is completely unnecessary since the turret can provide vision on it's own.
LegacyDAP1 votesMy friend who mains bard usually misses a chime or two just to get some vision for me, (god bless him) but most Bards can just sit in the general area and still be able to pick up chimes I think.
Melledoneus2 votesNot to mention that as Shen you need to set up your spirit blade in the farthest bush of top lane before you start laning. Gives you a free trade if your opponent isn't careful.
Maximum Morde7 votesI sit on the fountain and dance. Then I escorts the minion wave giving them words of encouragement the whole way. Afterall, the first wave is the most important

Jefftiffy4 votesPSA: sometimes people need some extra time to do stuff in the beginnings of game and are smart enough not to sit in tri-bush afk.
LegacyDAP8 votesDo it before the game starts then lol. Do you really need to wait until game starts to start looking up stuff on mobafire for good builds?
Jefftiffy3 votesDo it before the game starts then lol. Do you really need to wait until game starts to start looking up stuff on mobafire for good builds?
No I don't but I would rather them afk under the tower than in a bush as a free kill. I mean I only do it when the game loads stupid fast and I was going to piss before the game started and go "whelp guess I have to now".
LegacyDAP5 votesI'm talking about when the person is obviously there, and just not doing stuff. I understand if you have to use the restroom and stuff, but when the game starts and you're just sitting there waiting for minions, check the bushes in the jungle and ward around you, give vision.
OyddAWqJ5r1 votesWhich even still why the heck do people do that when they only have 1 minute >.>
LegacyDAP1 votesTbh, I do it when I'm loading up. Or after picks and bans, and sometimes the game loads up super quick, so I can understand that. But very rarely does it happen, and I apologize when it does.
woobat3 votesyou're right the first one adn a half minutes of each game is CRUCIAL here is a secret riot tip, ,, ,, the first 2 minute s of each game the turrets r all DISABLED adn the nexuses only hav 1 health so if you go into their base before the 2 minutes are up you AUTOMATICLLY win please trust me and do this. I'm reliable

Bard will allow entire team into nexus quickest

Ecodeath2 votesor i could let my jungler actually do his job.
#shittyjunglers
LegacyDAP3 votesWhat does this have to do with anything?
Ecodeath1 votesim not gonna waste my wards or vision on helping my jg out. thats his role and if he doesnt do it im not going to communicate with hm at all.
Ravag33 votesleaving a deep ward or any ward in the enemy jungle actually helps the entire team know what the enemy jungler is up too aka ward bush near raptors you know exactly what time he/she does red as a mid laner or top laner you know to play it safer when they get to that part of the map if they dont show on the map mid and bot could expect a gank which any good jungler will counter gank or invade putting the enemy jungler behind at the cost of a failed gank. and the fact you seem to have little to no respect for any jungler leads me to believe you dont help your jungler out at all(Just be aware that a jungler doesn't HAVE to gank for you its a service his/her presence could be useful elsewhere. or they could build up for late game in farm.
The more you know*[slayer-jinx-wink]*
Reshaos2 votesAs a top semi-main, I kind of need that ward due to the RV being usually parked outside my lane by the enemy jungler lol. That level 3 cheese can be a deadly one.
DazedOnlooker1 votesAfter seeing my jg get sad after starting blue/gromp/wolves and going to do red only to find that its been taken by the enemy jg...(or getting killed by the enemy jg while killing his red) i have made a consistent habit of warding the red/blue buffs regardless of whether I'm going top or bot (or mid) xD.
I have noticed that by doing this. i would see my jg killing his blue 1st, and if i saw the enemy jg taking his red at the same time I would ping for it so that our jg would just rotate straight to the enemy red in retaliation.
Divewing1 votesTip for mids: Bot side river bush. Very rarely does anyone check it, and you see ANY ATTEMPT TO INVADE
Rocky21 votesSadly hardly any mids do this, so as ADC, i swing by there first, drop a ward, then go stand by the other entrance to provide vision. This is when starting Purple Side of course.
Jefftiffy1 votesTip for mids: Bot side river bush. Very rarely does anyone check it, and you see ANY ATTEMPT TO INVADE
Enemy team must not be very stealthy, any normal enemy team will hug that wall and sneak into your jungle and that only kind of works for top side team (i can't remember team color right now for some reason).
ValyrianBlade1 votesI do this every game as the ADC...
Why is it mid's job?
As top I also ward top lane river bush. In both cases I stand in tri-bush on the appropriate side, or in the jungle entryway on the opposite side, to see any potential invade coming from a mile away.
Divewing1 votesI never said it was anyones job... mids simply the best because its literally at the entrance to the lane so they have the easiest/fastest way to get there
High51 votesWish I could up vote this 100 times. I generally stop listening to people / mute them if they do this or just run to a jungle camp. It's a good indication of who understands the game and who does not.
warpenguin5551 votesI should really stop doing that
Jeddy0171 votesI usually just stand in the jungle or river & watch for invades,then I drop a ward by the buff on the side the jungler isn't starting at.
