Preferred legend order for select screen

Can we priorities Legends soin the character selection screen if our selected character is already picked, it automatically move to 2nd on the list instead choosing a random one.?

I just wanted to suggest being able to select three legends for before you matchmake. I am not always present when champions are being selected and if someone picks the legend I was planning on playing I end up on a random legend (and it always feels like its my least played/ least favorite one). If I was able to select the three legends I want to play and rank them 1,2,3 then I always have some idea of who I will be playing. I think this would be a nice quality of life change. Love the game but still think this would be a cool change. 

For example, I would probably pick 1. lifeline 2.octane 3. pathfinder and no matter who my teammates pick I am getting one of these three legends. Instead of when I pick lifeline go to get a drink and I come back to find out I am caustic. 

I understand this could be fixed if I was around during character selection but if this is not a difficult thing to add (i have no idea if it is) it would be a cool feature. 

I think you should pick your legend before the game starts, and then be matched up with other legends so people wont have to quarrel. IT IS IRRITATING when you know there were three different legends shown as you enter the team, then the * before you decides to choose a different character. Yours.

Are you saying you want your preferred Legend to display for the other squad members so they avoid selecting the one you want to play as?

I believe they're asking for a prefered order in case our first choice is taken before we can choose. Since we get up to 3 choices we could pre-select those and the game would choose whichever one was left. If our first two were taken then it would auto select number 3. If only the 1st was selected it would auto select number 2. At least that's the way I read the OP

Thanks for getting back! Are you entering the Legend selection screen too late to pick your Legend or is this more of a convenience factor?

More of a convenience factor to save from having to scroll through the top three we like to use most in order. It would just save time in case one or two of our favorites were chosen if we pick third.

Every once in a while I'm sure everyone has stepped away after hitting start match, and have come back to see they got defaulted to Caustic or Gibraltar.. So why not give us 3 top legends even if we could rank them, that way if I have to pee and need to step away for a second I don't get stuck with hot garbage.

Make a system that lets us pick our top 3 characters, so if we afk during the select process and someone chooses our main character we don't get stuck with a character that we don't like. I hope this gets read, thank you.
