Honestly, I do not like to have to wait a full 5 mins to start a game. I think it should be 2mins, 1 min to vote, and 1 min to team and parkour. I find waiting for a full 5 mins in the lobby is very annoying. Expecially when you die in the first 30 secs of game. Please make the lobby wait shorter.

People actually do use this time to eat, use the bathroom, or browse the forums. It can be annoying, but it won't get changed.
And before you post, read the forums before asking a question. This one has been asked and answered several times.

But I feel it brings up a good discussion again. I have narrowed my bathroom break down to about a minute, so I don't see why you need 5 minutes of boring waiting. Honestly, the wait time is annoying. I feel like with a shorter wait time we'd have better map rotation, quicker playing/more matches, and probably happier people. I'm not asking for something ridiculous, I feel like 3 minutes would be an appropriate time. And let's face it, if you've played MCSG to the point where you need to get up and stretch your legs or get something to eat, you've probably been playing too long anyway.

I actually kind of agree. I don't need that much time. But what I do is just chill out on the forums.

It gives you time to vote for map and for people to figure out who's going to be in their team (I never do this, I usually have a Skype/TS team before the game).

It would also give non-donating players more of a chance to stay in the lobby. It could stop the arguments about 'TOOMANNYDONARRS'. ^^

true. on the US servers I usually join between 5th and 12th, and I get kicked 9/10 games with around 2 minutes or a minute and a half left.

There is one huge reason that I agree With this, and normally, I just bash on these useless threads. But nowadays, there should be at most 2 minutes. Yesterday, I waited 3:46 minutes to play, and the whole time dry bone valley was going to win, but it was one skip away from being lost forever. Then, with 20 seconds left,
