[Feature Request] [MATCH-V5] Return the pick turn of the participant in the match (ranked)

[ferc]

Problem Description
Currently there is no way to get the pick turn of the participants of the match

Also raised here: https://github.com/RiotGames/developer-relations/issues/192 but probably that issue is too old that no one is paying attention to it

Expected Result
The API /lol/match/v5/matches/{matchId} should return the pick turn of the participants

Currently this endpoint returns the bans of the teams and its pick turns but there is no way to associate who made those bans since the participants array is sorted by team + individual position and that doesn't not reflect the draft pick turn

Developer Impact
This could be useful to analyze drafts and the impact of the bans / picks in some metrics

@DarkIntaqt thanks for pointing it out, the problem here is that there is no feedback in that issue as well

I'd like to understand if it's possible, if it's something that will happen in the future or if for some reason there is no motivation to expose this information in the API

I definitely think this would be useful, as well as adding pick order changes.

Thanks for the request, we will pass this along and report back here if we get additional info to share

[ncharchenko]

@tisbells any updates on this?

[ncharchenko]

I think we should also have the API indicate whether or not there was a pick order change. Perhaps a "start pick order" and "end pick order" would work.

This would be really cool! Analyzing the draft and champion pick order impact on game outcome would be a very interesting project to explore

Looking forward to any updates 🙏
