Pick Order Suggestion
Each game Pick Order chosen randomly for both teams per role

Example:

1st phase - for both team mid should be picked

2nd phase both off-laners picking

3rd phase soft supports picks

4th phase carry picks

5th phase hard supports picks

Random every game for all positions (e.g. 3 1 5 2 4 and so on, full shuffle)

Game will benefit from this since position 1 players would not be able to close rest heroes (like every game now) and other roles (like supports) would gonna have a chance to close rest positions with supports being most impactful on picks

In this case for immortal draft system players must be assigned (or chose role) before hero pick starts (players pick still remains in place)

It is meta for the supports pick first (since there is little to no benefit for countering a low value hero) then the cores, usualy mid/safelane last.

This is so your cores can pick arround your own supports strenghts and dont get countered themselves.

It wouldnt be useful to get a set order in place because:

1) If its equal order for both teams, you would know who goes on wich lane, killing the guessing game (wich is a skill that you should practice)

2) If its not equal order for both teams, chances are one team has to pick a core before the other, giving them a disadvantage.
