I always thought the JM was random. But it's not.
When you're last in selection list, you have the JM badge, but you're not guaranteed to be JM. It's seemingly random.
However I was in a duo and for 12 games in a row I was the JM. Nothing random about that. If random, it's both 😇 a statistical impossibility, and (b) an indication that Respawns method for seeding the random number generator is flawed.
As far as I know if no one picks a legend and all went automaticaly then it's still the last one in the list, and it's not random.
The mechanics of JM literally mean nothing anyway as 90% of the time you find yourself being the JM regardless of who starts as it.
That other 10% is usually a instant nose dive straight out the ship and more often than not followed by a trip back to the lobby. At which point the cycle repeats again and you'll be JM. XD
