Okay, seriously. What happened to randomly being on blue/purple side?? Ever since like, Silver 2, or last week, freaking purple side. So much. 20+ matches in a row. Blue side like 1 in 15, or 1 in 20. I hate that camera view. Purple side occasionally, okay. but wtf determines that you're purple side for so, so, so many matches in a row???? I don't get it. Isn't it suppose to be random?? It's been consistent for like, forever now.

Unfortunately, this does sound like proper randomness to me. The chance that you have a particular number of games on one team gets smaller the higher that number is, but isn't zero, and with the number of people that play this game it's bound to happen to someone for a long time every once in a while. Seeing as there is not a flood of people complaining about this, you're likely an outlier, and just got unlucky. There's likely nothing you can really do about it, as that's how random properly works. Sorry bud.

Here's a tidbit for you, teams on the purple side will have a higher average mmr than the team on the blue side because of that camera angle. So I would say it's not a bad thing at all to be on purple side as much as you are.

Obviously that doesn't explain everything to it, as there is still randomness involved, but it might shed some light for you :)
