Trading champions is unwieldy and creates bad experiences

It has all sorts of problems:

• Opportunity for miscommunication or half-trades where only one player gets the champion they want
• often enough people don't have each others' champions
• being low on the pick order is 50/50 a death sentence if you want to play something that's pick-or-ban, because your teammates might not be able or willing to pick and trade it to you.

Trading champions is a relic of the old draft pick system, and there's a better way to accomplish the same goal.

Allow players to swap positions in the pick order, instead of trading champions. This would require some under-the-hood work, and we'd have to move the "swap/trade" phase to before the pick phase, but it would circumvent a whole host of problems and conflicts that aren't even necessary to have between players.
