The Warm-Up Test: Cold Queue vs. Practice Tool

Does a real warm-up before ranked actually change my early game, or is it just something pros say to sound disciplined?

Structurally an A/B test just like Chat On vs. Chat Off, so it slots into the same editing template with almost no extra work. The tracked numbers are deliberately all early-game: first-clear time, CS at 10 minutes, time of the first successful gank, and deaths before minute 10. If warming up matters at all, those are the numbers most likely to move — and if they do not move, that is the finding.

The rules

  1. 01 10 games queued completely cold, straight into champ select.
  2. 02 Then 10 games preceded by a fixed 10-minute warm-up.
  3. 03 The warm-up is the same every time: smite-timing reps, the jungle route twice, a few flash-wall-hop spots.
  4. 04 Same champion across both halves — the warm-up is the only variable.
