What we are starting to see happen is that bottom picks are calling and top picks are demanding pick order. So 1-2 demand pick order because it suites them and then they pick everything everyone else desires or mains. If we can randomize it then every game we wont know who goes first, second, so it will encourage everyone to have pick order.
shearmanator1 votesfirst pick is top MMR. Every other spot is already random. Only time its not random is when a duo queue exists. In which case its 1 and 5, or 2 and 4 i believe. Im not positive on the 2nd duo queue order.
CarbonWyre1 votesThe point isnt to randomize position. It's to change the order in which it picks. For example, have 1-3-4-2-5 pick order, and next game it would be something like 2-3-5-1-4 and it changes constantly so that you never know who picks first or second or third.
Ragnar Draconus1 votesThis is incorrect. Every spot is sorted by MMR. Top is highest, 2nd pick is 2nd highest, etc.
Pick Order exists so that the higher ranked players get first choice. IMO it makes the most sense and if anything this should be focused upon more. "Call order" only exists as an excuse for upset kids who can't accept that they have to compromise now and then.
Now, for normal draft, everything is random. And there is really no such thing as pick order. Just play whatever, its a normal game.
