Ten minutes of last-hit drills does more for a session than an hour of unfocused queueing. The point is not mechanics in isolation — it is arriving at the first wave already calibrated.
What works for me: three minutes of pure last hits against a bot, three minutes of camp stacking timing, then one unranked game I do not care about. The throwaway game matters more than the drills. It absorbs the mistakes that would otherwise land in a game I do care about.
What does not work: watching a professional match as a warm-up. It feels productive and it is not. You end up copying decisions without the context that produced them.
