It is the next one.6 min 2The Dodge DecisionProDodging costs LP and time, and it is still correct more often than most players think, but for one reason only, and not the reason people usually give.5 min 3The First Game of the SessionProYour first ranked game of the day is measurably your worst, and everyone treats it like every other game. Ten minutes of warm-up buys back an LP loss you were going to take.5 min 4Playing From Behind Without Making It WorseProBeing behind is a state with correct play, not a punishment.
