I didn't realize pick vs call was still a thing

Last season I was in gold with low plat mmr and people who didn't get their role just did their 2nd best backup role so I guess I maybe missed out on pick vs call still being an issue but I've noticed a couple games where someone tried to argue call order. I'll PSA it here because I'm a little tired of saying it in lobby, the people at the front of the line go first.

You'll never stop a jerk from going "mid or feed" as last pick even if you link him Riot's statement that they officially support Pick Order over Call. Don't start an argument, you can dodge or give in to the jerk if you have to but don't engage them in toxic or annoying banter that will get you reported; just report them at the end. Trolls do not learn until they are punished, so get them punished without being dragged down with them.

I think the most frustrating thing for me is when people are like "well x and x pick at the same time" so it should be call order at that point, and the on person called it. First pick does bans right? And we don't share those between two people on red side, or call the one doing bans something other than first pick right? The person at the bottom is always called last pick too, so why the hell do some people think that 2nd, 3rd, and 4th pick aren't things? Does riot need to spell that out somewhere?

PS anyone know if this is reportable? I know people can be reported for going mid or feed from last pick if someone higher in the draft says they are gonna go mid w/ pick order.

I think if someone calls a role it should be taken in consideration. If a compromise cant be made, then its pick order.
