=== Pausing ===
Each player may pause the game once per match. Each team is limited to three pauses per match, meaning that after three different players on the same team have used their pause, that team can no longer pause the game. This allows for a maximum of six pauses per match.
Each player may pause the game once per match. Pausing is disabled for the first 2 minutes of a match. Each team is limited to three pauses per match, meaning that after three different players on the same team have used their pause, that team can no longer pause the game. This allows for a maximum of six pauses per match.


When a pause is called, all in-game action stops. The game timer, player movement, abilities, projectiles, and all other gameplay elements are frozen until game resumes.

=== Pre-Game phase ===
The pre-game phase lasts 30 seconds, during which players can ask to switch lanes with their team by clicking the colored button under another player's portrait in the top bar. In [[Ranked mode]], players may also switch to a different unlocked hero, provided it has not already been selected by any player on either team. In [[Street Brawl]], players have to pick their items and assign [[Ability Points]] during this phase.
