Guild Wars 2

Some people will definitely disagree with me on this, but here goes: we need more time to prepare before matches. Since we currently don’t have build templates, if you want to change your build, you have to take almost the entire minute to do so. You can’t comprehensively evaluate your team and the other team, you don’t have time to really discuss strategy with your team (especially pre-match afkers or slow thinkers), and good forbid you want to change toons and then actually do either of the above.

We already have the “ready” button, so a longer pre-match waiting period wouldn’t necessarily mean that you wait the entire time, I think extending it to 1:45 or 2:00 wouldn’t be unreasonable. Right now there’s not enough time to discuss team strategy, you can only hope that only one person had a strategy and everyone rise well willingly follow it without question, because there’s no time to discuss its merits or lack thereof. I find this problematic in ranked since I actually care about how my team plays.
