Summoner's Rift 5v5 Draft Pick

I was trio queued with a couple of my friends, a friend was the person banning, enemy team had first pick. I don't remember exactly what champions were picked, though I know some of them were Lee Sin, Poppy, Darius, Caitlyn, Lucian, Akali, and Orianna. I don't remember the other two.

As the final two people on the enemy team selected their champions (they picked, but waited for their countdown timers to finish instead of locking in in case it's relevant) it briefly flickered that it was my turn to pick for maybe half a second at most then made the locked in sound effect but left my portrait and champion unselected and switched back to the enemy team's turn to pick (Even though they had already made their final picks).

The timer counted down then closed the game and penalized me for not choosing a champion during champion select without going back to me (for what would have been the second time) to pick my champion.

EDIT: More possibly relevant information. Lucian was their first pick, Poppy and Akali were ours. They then pickedKhazix and Leona followed by our LeeSin and Caitlyn . Their last picks were Darius and Orianna then the bug took place.

Sounds like lag. The client sucks with lag, if the information that someone picked doesn't go through, the timers and pick order won't be updated properly and while in reality it's your turn to pick, you'll see the last person as sitting there not locked in. This is my guess at what happened, especially since you said the last people to pick waited for the timer to count down instead of locking in (if I'm right, they actually locked in, and the pick timer for you was shorter than what was displayed).
