Pick order suggestion

Something that is only an issue in soloq, is the whole pick order thing, and not because people are raging about it or whatever, but nothing hurts worse, than being first pick, and top lane lol, because there are sooo many hard counters top lane. So I generally do not bring a problem without having a suggested solution.

Option 1, make it so your pick order is always Support, jungle first then adc mid top in some order...

Or

Option 2, since I know people are already halfway through typing "just trade picks?" Why not allow us the trade option at the beginning, so during picks, and bans, you have that 20-40 seconds to swap pick orders rather than spamming "Hey, if you have galio I can pick your champ man" in chat in the hopes someone reads it AND has the champion pool for a swap with you

And yeah, you could still get counter picked but honestly it wouldn't be AS likely, to be the poor unfortunate who locks teemo only to face a vlad, or any melee vrs a barrel sitting GP

I wouldnt want to first pick as support. adcs or junglers are usually first pick in pro play

I mean those instanced are kind of unfortunate, but even with your suggestion one of the two top laners will have to blind pick for the top lane matchups

You are both right, maybe option 2 is the better way, where we can trade pick order instead of being like "Ok you pick him ez, I will pick his nasus, and you will pick my leona" then something happening and now you are playing a champ you arent familiar with
