So me and my duoq have been playing ranked a lot lately, he plays locked screen and we both hate purple side. We've been purple side the past 22 ranked games IN A ROW. http://na.op.gg/summoner/userName=hi+im+jerry

the left side team is blue, right side is purple. GOD BLESS THIS RANDOMIZATION

Please Riot, we can't handle this anymore.

If this literally happened, the probability of going 22 in a row on purple is 0.5^22 which is less than 1 in 4 million. That said, I'm sure there have been more than 4 million trials of people playing 22 Games, (someone plays 110 Games = 5 trials) and so (while this isn't the way probability works) it isn't unreasonable that it happened to somebody. That it happened to you, and a duo-queue, is just bad luck if you can say that.

I've seen no one else mention it and I'd imagine it is something someone would notice.

Maybe try not duo-queueing? And get your friend to unlock his screen, play some bot matches to get used to it.

with 27 million players daily averaging say 5 games or so each a day, a 1 in 4 million chance will happen to several people every day. it's still crazy when it happens to you though!

Unless they changed it, purple side is usually for the team that has a "higher" percentage to win. Also if you are playing locked screen, I feel you're just crippling yourself and making the game harder for no reason.
