I like doing normal draft mode because I feel like there are less instalock selfish people. but I guess ironically, I'm made to be fifth pick ALL THE TIME. Seriously I am fifth pick more than half the time, and am essentially forced to either support, which I hate, or clamor in chat to try to get the role that I want. Why is this? Why am I last SO often?

happens to me too usually i'm 4th or 5th, then i just gave up and played normal blind pick. i think normal draft is totally random and we're really unlucky.

In normal draft, it seems that premades are prioritized, and they go above anyone else. I have seen this happen plenty. My premade team was first, in random order, then anyone else. However, when I solo queued, the other premade(legitimized by them) was first.
