Lobby time is WAY too long they need to shorten it to 2:30 or shorte pre-game to 20 s. I Feel I Have to wait in lobby for like 4 min. then pregame so its like 5 min. just to start then if i die i have to go throught the process again, and again and again.

Its nice to have breaks from gaming. And allowing 5mins lobby time gives other players time to join the game if someone leaves.

This is only slightly related, but the parkour in the new lobby was designed to take atleast 3 min, 40 sec to complete which means thearkour would need to be shortened if this were to be implemented.

Also, theres tons of stuff to do in the lobby before hand or sit in the lobby afk and grab a drink or go to the bathroom. I feel like 5 minutes has already become the great medium and will not be changed :)

The time is at a perfect amount. This allows time for people to Gather their friends into one lobby. Maybe let the dogs out, or get a quick bite to eat before going right back into a Game. In my opinion, Anything less then five minutes is far to excessive. They've designed the lobby for if you're indeed in-game, there's a bunch of stuff to do. Like the parkour course. There's also a lot of Easter eggs to be found around the lobby, so this allows for something else to do in the mean time.

In the long run, if they did indeed decrease the amount of time in between games, this would cause' users to get bored (Although you may not notice it). The less you do something, the less chances you're to get bored of doing that thing. I think it'd be nice to have something like a 'Preview' of each map, like a little room covered by glass, with a sign stating the map name, and then some terrain. For example, so SG4, it could have maybe a Crane? Or some sort of construction site at Corn? Who knows, I may bring this up as a suggestion now that I think of it. This will allow for better/more accurate voting in the Pre-Game lobbies. But that's beside the fact, I don't see the time changing, anytime soon.

Everyone keeps on thinking of MY idea >.<

Well, I guess great minds think alike :p

It gives time for players to join, but to much! Everyone is rushed in by 1 minute, so 2-2 and a half would be better.
