To add onto that, a lot of players really don't like being the jumpmaster, (so sometimes you do have to be the jumpmaster).
I've had matches before where the jumpmaster kept being passed like a game of hot potato, and after I had split from the team, I had saw the other two continuously pass the role between each other until the game had thrown them out of the drop ship.

A bit of clarification on this, (based on what I had noticed), the game will select the next legend based on which legend has the next highest kills.
For me, Wraith used to be the legend I've had the highest kills on, (before I had gotten more kills with Valkyrie), now Wraith's my second highest kill legend, with Lifeline being the 3rd highest. If I'm playing as Lifeline, and someone picks Lifeline before I can, I would automatically get Valkyrie, (unless the other teammate had chosen Valkyrie, in which case I would get Wraith).
I do wish we got to choose though, because I would rather the game pick a different legend, (such as Vantage), instead of Wraith.
