Pick order and MMR

I would like to confirm,

Pick order in solo queue is MMR based.

I didn't intend to investigate this, but I inevitably did, I got put in low priority queue.

I was first pick every game for 5 games, everybody below me was a lower MMR.

my low priority queue ended, and everything went back to normal. I wasn't first pick, as people had more MMR than me in my games.

I can confirm it is not random and actually a fact that MMR is the bases of pick order.

It used to be based on MMR but it was changed to random because the MMR differences within a team are insignificant and the old system lead to people thinking that the first pick was a significantly better player than the last pick.

But you don't have any way of seeing your MMR or your teammates' MMR, so you cannot actually confirm this.
