Does anybody know why I'm always first pick in a 5 man draft?

So usually I play normal blind pick, but recently we've picked up a few new faces who only play draft and I'm not gonna be that guy. Anyways, after like 20 games I started to notice that I was literally always first pick, but only if we went as a 5 man. Also, wherever the people I play with are stays the same. Same first pick, last pick, and all the picks in between, in the same exact order every time.

Usually my draft experience comes from solo queue ranked, so this boggles my mind. Is there a fix? Is there some method to the madness? Is it even considered a bug or an actual feature? I just hate getting counterpicked literally every game.

I believe the host gets first pick.

And it used to be in ranked teams/custom games pick order was the same as the lobby order.
