please let us swap pick order

i do not play champs that are "picked or banned" what i do play are champ that i am very good at but can very easily be counter-picked. and i have my backup champs to use in case their counter-pick shows up before i get pick.

yet when riot gives me first pick... there really isn't shit i can do. i mean sure i can ask a random teammate if they want me to pick their champ, but they never own mine anyways. and i don't normally own thiers

or i could just pick my champ what I'm worse at and don't really like playing, but is much harder to counter.. or i can just first pick my champ and hope to god they don't counterpick and if they do, then i just i dodge.

but im SURE there are TONS of people who would LOVE to be first or 2nd pick.. why cant we just swap pick order instead of champs?

let the players who want thier pick banned champs get them. and let me play my main and counter-pick them, or know when i cant choose my main into that match-up.. its a win/win for every player

Shouldn't be a swap but a fixed pick order: Top Mid JG AD Supp

Top sets the pace so team knows if you're tanky/bruiser/fighter. Mid balances into AD or AP. JG picks for best synergy towards top and mid. AD now has optimal pick for team and against enemy team. Supp has best pick option to correctly support team.

At least in a perfect world that's how things would play out.

Sad but true.

If picks are predetermined though it will at least cause players to think .00000000001% more than they normally do. Thus increasing your chances of victory to insane levels that science cannot measure!

I am guessing in very high elo this might happen. Here in Silver it would just make them angrier. You tell someone in silver to go tank, and he locks master yi out of spite.

I usually try to mislead the enemy team: if I'm mid and the champ i want can jungle, for example, I'll hover a jungler, then another, then another, then lock in the champ i wanted. For example: Hecarim ->Amumu ->Diana ->Fiddlesticks

It usually doesn't work, but when it does it's great. :p
