Why do mid laners just stand in lane before minions spawn?

At least stand in the jungle covering one of the buff entrances. They just stand in lane and provide nothing. Some mid laners don’t even help when their team is being invaded. They just stand there.

Everyone does this unless you direct them otherwise and they feel like it. Top Laners are the worst about doing it imo, but if I ever start or invade top, you can also bet that bot laners who normally watch the Jungle are also now sitting under their Tower.

It is stupid. I see high elo players on stream do this too. When I play top lane and I am not leashing, I wait a few extra seconds to come to lane to trick the enemy laner that I am leashing for my jungler top side. Other top laners show themselves immediately as soon as minions come into lane and I know straight away that their jungler started bottom side.

It is possible to sneak into the Red jungle quadrant through mid if no one is there to watch because the turret's vision does not reach the cliff.

While people going this way will be spotted by someone watching the river entrance, it allows for a flanking angle on whoever is there watching.

But most people do it because they are lazy or because they see pro mids do it.

I've started complimenting people that go to jg right away to look out. Also the subtle way of saying to your bad teammates "The match hand even started yet and you're bad, shape up."
