Red/Blue side advantage
I've heard that Red side is apparently better than blue side? Why is this? Is there a definitive reason, or is it just based on a win statistic?

red side has higher mmr than the blue side as a whole
I believe this is true. Mostly due to the bottom panel which blocks the view below your champion. When playing Blue on SR or HA, that panel is tactically behind you, thus you have intel and know it is clear. When playing red, that panel is in front and below you, thus hiding the enemy. Playing TT, the lanes are not at 45 to 90 degrees, so that map is more fair (though playing top lane in TT, you can get ganked more easily having lost bottom vision, but that works on both sides).
I have created a suggestion to fix this, and was just about to post it when I found this thread. Though I do not know the exact software coding, that is out of my field. However, since this is built using the same coding software as the current camera, nothing new really needs a lot of work, just a new button, really.
We need a new hot button (so as not to interfere with the current camera system) that we can unlock the screen, use the mouse to scroll to where our champion is oriented whee we want, then hit the hot button again, just as the current camera works.
In that way, the player can decide, for example, while playing red, to center their champion closer to the upper right corner, which would give them more view to their bottom left, which is where the enemy is at.
Again, I have NOT put this idea in its own thread. This is the first time I have put it in writing. (though several years ago I posted the exact same question about an advantage!). Let me know if this is worth a new thread.
