Y'know, it feels pretty bad when you're at the carousel and the one single item/champion you want ends up being on the other side.
As a solution, I'd like to propose it become a battle for who can click their selection first and then the champion will come to you. Still retaining 2 players choosing at a time to allow for comebacks but also makes first carousel a lot less annoying and fixes the issue with people standing in the way of future pickers.
YendorGGB1 votesCarousel is so easy, especially if your item is across from you. Stop trying to chase the item and set up for where it will be when you can get the item's.
Sirfetchd211 votesI know, and I've got the first item I wanted at carousel many times by standing infront of it, but equally you can get screwed over if the other person ends up closer

The issue comes in after the first round when you pick due to current placement. (think that's what the op is referring to, not the first round as that is a ffa/rng) I have lost many items to someone in a higher place than me because it's closer to them when the bubble locking you in vanishes. The first round I agree, anticipate where the item will be when the big barrier wears off, but after that round, you can't move to anticipate squat since you are trapped in your tiny bubble.
Feels bad losing the item you want to someone in first place. There goes a/the small advantage you had.
