Do you guys prefer call order or pick order in ranked/draft pick? Why?

In the past few ranked matches I have done, my teammates could not decide between call order and pick order. While I personally believe call order takes priority over pick order, I am curious to see how other players feel about this topic.

Pick order. Call order is mostly a function of how close you are to the west coast, which seems like an unfair way to determine someone's role.

As I see it - Pick order > Call order > Lock order.

Pick Order. Always.

Your decision on a role in League should not be based upon how fast you can enter the lobby and call a role out. It should always be based upon your order in the selection screen.

Pick order, there's an established order that is generated from the start and can be planned around. Call order isn't even organized chaos, it's just whoever loaded there first.

Not only call order pick order just is the way it is. They have priority. It's fair and totally randomized on who gets the choice. In solo queue pick will always take priority. Call order is just a suggestion

Pick order just makes more sense. Calling is for establishing a preference. Picking is the tie breaker. That way there's the least arguing and bitching involved-it's like a built in coin flip.

Where's the "communication and cooperation" option? >.>

That being said, I say pick order is supreme, simply because people load into champ select at different times, which gives an unfair advantage to those that live closer to the servers/have better internet.
