I'm last pick 80% of the time, 15% of the time I'm fourth, the remainder 5% of the time I'm first, second, or third. Does anyone else experience this?

Curse of the Premades

Im 4th or 5th pick almost every single time I click solo que and 1st or 2nd pick every time I duo que.

Personally I prefer to be towards last pick so I can get a good look at what Ill be up against before choosing.

Premades are always on top in normals. It's really cool when you get a bunch of jokers in charge who ban Akali, Jax, and Singed, then firstpick Garen giving the enemy team Kassadin and Ryze.

I see, so it appear to be due to parties?

Also lo and behold, I'm last pick again while waiting for my queue to pop.

During draft pick your team captain is the player with the highest ELO or a premade captain is first and anyone in said premade become second, third, and fourth. If you ever go into a game that isn't a premade and your still last pick, get ready for a fight because almost everyone is likely to be higher ELO.
