Can't win from the red side?

Ever since the end of the 2014 season, I have been winless from the red side, and undefeated from the blue side in all of my pvp matches. This is a sample size of more than 40 games, so this is beyond the point of a random statistical anomaly at this point. (More than half of those games have been with the same 5 people, who were all in the same room!!!) Is there any kind of bias, or other technical reason this would happen?

Honestly I think it's a coincidence. There are some slight disadvantages of the red side, like the HUD blocking a small portion of the bottom of the screen, and the location of the dragon.

LOL I got lots of downvotes when I mentioned in maps and modes that blue side was winning 80% of my games.

I have about even wins for both sides. Honestly I might have a higher win ratio on red side because red side toplane is a lot easier for me.

The blue side does win around 54% of the time, However matchmaking does general put players with the higher mmr on the red side. I think for you it might be a bit of a coincidence.

Maybe there's less teams in premades so the gap between MMRs is larger. Since it tries to favor 1 side a little in MMR the result would be one side almost always wins. I don't play 5 man premades but that's my best guess.
