Using 'Big 5' personality test to 'call' lane

I think we should do something along the lines of "The Big 5" personality test to call our role. Were you'd say something like I'm a JTMAS(Jungle, Top, Mid, Adc, Support,) or MTSJA (Mid, Top, Support, Jungle, Adc.) Sort of 'rate' yourself where you're most comfortable, and based on where everyone else is most comfortable, all 5 of you should at least get a lane in your top 3. It would get people thinking more like a team right from the start, other than the 'I called 1st' and instalocking that happens now and gets teams fighting and refusing to cooperate before the game even starts.

..any solo queuer's out there willing to give it a try and see if it catches on?

Just make a copy-paste before your games that says something like- 'I'm a JATSM (Best as jungle>adc>top>support>mid)' And keep trying it till you see other people pick up on it and start doing it too, eventually, (if everyone knows what it is,) you could just cut it down to like 'I'm a JAT', or -MTJ, which is really less work than the current: mid midmid top mi top toptop mid midmi jung jung

-spam we see now.

Unfortunately i dont beleive this will ever take off as it requires people to think for more than a split second.

It also requires the community to not be a dick over who wants what. The recent change that makes it so everyone sees the calls at the same time is the closet we'll get.

True....but the fact that you're in queue at all is meaning you're gonna have to think of a lot of things for the next 45 minutes. What's a few more to make the next 45minutes more pleasant?

Honestly, this should just go by pick order. Someone who is low in the order should have to be okay with what they get, since they really can't do anything about it.
