What You Should Be Doing During the Loading Screen

A lot of people seem to have this complex where the loading screen is a time to just afk, alt tab, or whatever and not do anything. They seem to think that the loading screen is just for loading the game. In fact, there is a lot you should be doing in the loading screen. You should be analyzing the enemy team's summoner spells, comparing them with your team's, looking at the lane matchups, and planning for the game.

For example, let's say you're playing midlane and you have Teleport/Flash on Ahri against a Zed who has Ignite/Flash. The enemy jungler is a Lee Sin while your jungler is a Warwick, and the enemy botlane is Lucian/Soraka vs your team's Vayne/Nami. Soraka took exhaust, and Nami took ignite.

Now, with this knowledge, you should be analyzing how to play out the game. "I have teleport while Zed has ignite, so I should probably play a bit more passive knowing that he has that extra true damage to back him up, as well as negate the healing from my passive. Lee Sin is an early ganker, while Warwick usually doesn't do anything until level 6, so I need to play even more passive. I guess I'll just farm the lane then. Lucian is a pretty heavy Vayne counter, and Soraka can heal Lucian so he doesn't have to leave lane and can constantly poke Vayne down, so maybe once I hit 6 I should coordinate a gank with Warwick because he can lock up Soraka while Vayne and I dive onto the Lucian with our burst damage. I probably won't be able to 1v1 Zed until I have Zhonya's, so I'll just roam around the map with my teleport and mobility until I have my Zhonya's." If you're blue side: "I guess I should probably ward the top river around 3 minutes in since Lee is notorious for ganking after he takes his red." If you're red side: "I guess I should probably ward bottom river around 2 minutes in since Lee is notorious for invading or level 2 ganking with his red buff."

Just letting you guys know what you should be using your time in the load screen for so you can not only climb elo faster but not waste time either. Hope this helped. :)

This is all very true, but im still going to be taking my piss in between games @ the loading screen. I usually think about all this stuff while im urinating, as ive already remembered the team comps before i left my chair.
