The RNG of the Carousel

What's the point of getting priority pick if you lose to the RNG of the spin of the Carousel. This happens way too many times...like one of the few windows to come back at with an item and you get shafted by the rotation since it lands the side opposite you. Like why can't there be an automated window to pick the unit and/or item you want, it can also reduce time with all the needless animation.

TFT in a nutshell. 20% item RNG. 20% champion RNG. 20% Carousel positioning RNG 20% Will my units even work this round?(Bugs) RNG 19% AI behavior RNG 1% actually knowing wtf youre even doing.

The picks should be done exactly the same as they are in the lobby, where each player clicks on the champ they want one by one.

put all champions in a chest and rotate that, no one can see whatever they pick.

As a player that gets frustrated over the carusel like every second game I must disagree. Sometimes I only need that 1single Item(eg needlessly for my spatula) to get 6/6sorcerer, so it would be a gamechanger, but that needlessly large rod doesnt show up... for 2carusels. Am I frustrated then? Yes.

Is it okay tho? Yes. If I rely on a single Item so heavily that my entire comb falls apart if I do not get that one particular item, then maybe my comb sucks. If my Volibear does not get Rapidfire he's just half as deadly. And that's fine.

Do not rely on the carusel, not even when you are 8th place. Be assured that the 7th place dude will be closer to the item you really need and he IS GOING TO take it. That being if the Item even shows up in the first place. Sometimes people just stand around not knowing what they want, they will wait for your turn because they got 0plan on what to build, but the moment they see what item you are going for they will take it.

Carusel is basically hell.

I've heard this a lot in the forums so im just going to repeat it: work with what you have, not with what you dont have.

I think champ random is ok, but item shouldn't (just the complete ones).

If you lose 3 first rounds and it is like.. ok spatula is coming is ok. And you go and 4 tears + a few of the others (example), so u and the last guy got what advantage on losing? bad luck on the begin wasn't enough? The carousel needs to be more bad luck too?

.01% body blocking in the circle to make them unable to get to a champion. 25% 3 player ques making 1 player win.

why not cut through in the middle. thats something players do if their pick is on the other side of the carousel.
