This is kind of a touchy subject for me.

On one hand you should respect the pick order and should let whoever is first pick what they want.

On the other hand there is a good chance that the higher up you are the easier it is to counter you.

This is why I think that the last 2 picks should get top and mid.

First pick should play support and the middle 2 get support and adc. Course this is how I would do it and i don't speak for the community.

All in all i support calls over pick order mainly because calling it means that if the person is lower its harder to counter them.

Why is there no option for neither?

I don't really follow either rules, I talk with my teammates and figure out who wants what and who's best at what. I've had pretty good luck lately with people willing to do that.

Pick order confirmed by red months ago. It's not an opinion, it's a fact. It's like debating whether red or green light at a street sign should mean "Go".

The "Shotgun Call" system is when the first person to identify that they want a role in chat is the one that receives that role.

In the "Pick Order" system, the person who appears highest in the champion selection order gets priority over what role they obtain. First pick you may pick whatever role you wish, second pick chooses from the remaining four roles, etc.

There are advantages and disadvantages to each role. You don't need to mention confusion caused by the Shotgun call system or the the fact that people are more often countered because they first pick top or mid. Just provide definitions. No need to use words like "fair" or "scramble" which provide negative connotations. If one is truly better than the other, it'll show in the poll.

Always pick order. You're last and that means you don't get top.
