NEW CHAMP SELECT. DYNAMIC DRAFT. PICK ORDER.

With the recent updates or the new match making i feel Riot has gone a tad bit far and the players have taken it overboard. I understand the new champ select is supposed to get people into games playing the roles they want, but what happened to PICK ORDER?! I que up 10x a day with jungle as my 1st and ADC (which I mained Season 5) 2nd, OBVIOUSLY WANTING JUNGLE. Get into que and 9/10 I'm ADC. Sure I dont mind playing ADC a couple games a day but almost every one?? Then when I ask my jungler "hey man mind switching roles with me?" I GET ATTACKED. I'ts not een by the person who I asked wither. "You shoulda' chose jungle" "Youre an idiot if you wanted to jungle you should have picked it". I DEMAND THAT PICK ORDER BE RECOGNIZED. If I'm first and i pick jungler, don't be an A#!*^$%E and pick a jungler also! IT'S YOU WHO IS TROLLING THE TEAM! Not me. I have been playing League Of Legends since Season 2. Pick Order has pretty much always been around. Don't let Riot and this new wave of players destroy this game.

Sincerely - A Long Time Player Of The Game

P.S. Thank you to anyone who read this little rant. Please comment on this with your feelings towards this no matter how you feel. all feedback is good feedback, and something for me to consider going while into que.

Breathe in for 4 seconds, hold it for 8, then breathe out for 7. After that, reply to my comment with 3 reasons that pick order should be a higher priority than the official player chosen role.

I get stuck with top half my games when I put jungle/top and get stuck with support 6/10 when I put jungle/support. But I won't troll my team and just say "pick order". First, pick order was that way because it was based on elo before. Now pick order is not based on elo, thus being first pick is meaningless. Second, all you're doing is decreasing your chances of winning by not following the role you were assigned. You are hurting nobody but yourself by not doing so.

I personally ALWAYS get jungle when I set mid as primary and jungle as secondary. So if you don't fear playing mid, I'd give it a shot.

If you don't play the role you where assigned to you may be reported and you will get a penalty. Stop crying if your get the primary role and not the secondary role. Secondary role is for when a place with your primary role cannot be found quick enough.

It's sad. A simple knowledge in math would have you understanding why it happens this way.
