[BLIND PICK] Improvents to Reduce Toxicity and Welcome Draft Pick Players Without Speed Compromised

TLDR: Introduce a system in blind pick where the players are placed semi randomly (with help from an algorithm) in positions 1-5 (1 being top first player and 5th being bottom) and have players pick their champions in that order but still blind to any enemy champion picks. More Fair, No Insta-locks, Less Trolls!

Players should be ranked semi randomly but with influences on what place they got in their previous games so you get each place evenly so you can eventually get 1st place and hence claim your desired role. When in a party party members should be grouped together. If they're a 4 man they should always be the bottom 4 places. Also if you dodge you could get a penalty of getting no higher place then in the champion select you dodged. (not 100% on the last 2 bits)

This eliminates insta-locks or racing to call roles in the chat which may be unfair for people with slow computers / internet and should reduce toxicity in blind pick. All the while making blind pick more fair and allowing people to have greater experiences on the Rift.

You could even let the first 3 places ban 1 champion each for each team and have that draft style (or blind) before the picking stage if you wanted to.

This should also ease draft pick fans back into blind pick.

This wouldn't compromise the speed of finding a game at all. The select may need picking time adjusted but apart from that champion select would be similar speed if you count for all the dodges that would no longer happen.

How exactly is RNG deciding my position any better? No thanks. Role selection or bust.
