(Blind Pick) Lane based on Champ Select position~

This is mainly for Blind Pick matches: I've witnessed too many times where people do the calling game, and some people don't load in time or don't see the chat appear on time, resulting in whining, leaving, and empty threats. Just like how the community created this unwritten rules for basically calling dibs for a role, what if we banded together and do it based on position in the champion select screen?

For instance: 1st would get TOP, 2nd would get JUNGLE, 3rd would get MID, 4th would get Support, and 5th would get ADC/BOT.

Taking a suggestion from Draft/Ranked play, if say: MID was good at top and visa-versa, they would agree to "switch lanes" and choose accordingly. Granted, it would take a huge part of community to somewhat implement this and definitely not a surefire way to stop all the arguing/complaining/etc... but I feel it would be a step in the right direction and help a little more organized play and planning.

What do you all think?

edit-Like the lane calling, this isn't a call for Riot to implement it, it's a community-only thing to get started and do ourselves.

That's not a terrible idea, but what I usually do (on the rare occasion I play blind) is treat it like the first person is "first pick" meaning they have priority over what position they want, just like in a draft game. The difference being you pick at the same time.

The issue with your idea is that if nobody wants their "standard" role but the top 2 people want mid for example, how do you solve it?
