I searched for this on here, but couldnt find anything related, so I will lay out what I noticed.

After clicking Play in matchmaking, a box appears at the top of the screen that says "initializing 1v1" and then "searching 1v1", depending on which mode you selected, 2v2, 3v3, etc. Normally, you can hover over this and see the "Estimated Wait" and "Elapsed Time" in a small pop-up after a small delay . Once you move the cursor, the pop-up goes away.

While spamming mouse clicks and mouse movements during searching one night, I discovered a glitch (maybe?). If you left click and hold inside the "searching" box while the "Estimated Wait" popup is open, then drag the mouse outside of the search box and release the left click button, then the Estimated Wait/Elapsed Time popup will be visible next to your cursor anywhere on that page after a small pause in mouse movement. It doesnt seem to hurt anything, and is easier to keep an eye on if you are someone that looks at that information regularly.

I am basically just trying to see if anyone else has noticed this? Does anyone use it? Maybe it is working as intended

Screenshot below. The "Estimated Wait" appears where my cursor was located at the time of the screenshot

Ya. I never claimed it to be a game-breaking bug, or something that needs to be fixed. Just curious if anyone else had noticed it and/or finds it useful. Guess not *shrugs*
