pick order champion select
Right now there is no way of linking the puuid to pick order in champion select, nor ban order either, using the API. The matches-api:V5 (excuse my poor nomenclature) returns metadata and info. Within the metadata participants are given with puuid. However, in the info the team data is give with bans, picks and objectives, without championId. Is there a reason why there is no linking between info and metadata?
My hypothesis is that pick order correlates with winrate. So I've gather 200 odd games from my silver elo (EUW) and there is a trend between winrate and pick order. Of course this is speculative with my tiny sample size. I've attached a figure and the data collected.
Perhaps I overlooked something and it is possible to link puuid and pick order, in that case let me know :)
I saw this issue was posted already in 2019: https://github.com/RiotGames/developer-relations/issues/192
