Please Remove pre-made order sets

I usually play league with 4 of my other friends in flex queues. And every time I end up being first pick. It's annoying too because I'm usually top or mid and obviously nobody wants to get counter picked. Riot why can't you just make it random every champ select? Either that or let us choose the order by whoever joins the queue first-last. Seriously it's annoying. Even when we have someone else join the queue to replace one of our guys, I still end up being first pick. I just don't understand what benefit this concept has. It's just super annoying for the people who end up getting first or second pick and they're stuck with it the rest of their lives.

Yeah but it's not as easy at it seems. Sometimes we don't have the champ the other guy wants. And then sometimes they simply just don't want to pick for me because they don't want to get countered, lol. Then there's lag in champ select as well which rushes things.

Ok... so you say they don't want to be countered. Why would they agree to be first pick? If they don't want to pick for you then they won't want to be first/second/whatever pick. Lag in champ select literally means nothing. You have the ability to already decide even before champ select what each one wants or join a discord or whatever before champ select. Nobody is rushing anyone on your team to insat lock anything either so the only ones rushing each things are yourselves.

If the game rotates the order, that makes easier to accept being first pick. We're doing the same with roles in my play group: we let the weakest players play their main and since the remaining players are offrole, we tag fill and let the game decide.

Well, we're not playing the same roles every game. We like to try out different champions and everything, we're not mapping out and having a hard team discussion before we click the queue timer, we're not treating this like it's life or death. It's just random and dependent on the situation and how they're feeling in the moment whether they want to pick for me or not, it's really not complicated. Also, lag in champ select was a smaller thing, that's not really supposed to be part of the discussion, it was just a small factor I decided to add since we don't all have good computers. I just wanted to point this thing out since it was a constant annoyance and there's really no way out of it unless Riot actually changes the system.
