It's been so long that I've forgotten...

Why are we locked in fountain for the first 15 seconds? I know they gave us a reason back when they made the change but I honestly can't remember.

Can't remember the reason they gave, but the only reason I can think of is so that those with slower computers can buy their items and so invades don't become a race between who has the faster computer. I know that the game mainly connects and loads during the loading screen, but if i'm not mistaken there still is a slightly different timing depending on the speed of the computer.

Oh. Well, that's a pretty good reason, then.

exactly what the first person said

so people with faster comps don't get a head start

imagine this

you don't connect until lets say, 5 seconds in the game (your entire team). The other team connected at 00, and at 3 seconds has bought and has already left fountain

your team buys and leaves fountain at oh, 8 seconds. Your team that connected late rushes to the blue crescent brush (im going by olden days here this always happened)

but oh fuck, the other teams already there cus they connected 3 seconds faster. All 5 members have the initiatve, have all abilities off cd, and you're all cc'd by the time you see them.
