You confirm your willingness to be jump master by queueing into the game in the first place. If you're worried about an afk jump master then choose "solo drop." That doesn't mean you can't go wherever the rest of your squad goes, but it means you're keeping your options open. Now what they could do... probably should do... is not allow the jump master to jump until he/she has pinged a drop and two seconds have passed for the squad to see where they intend to take the team. THAT'S a change I'd pay money for.
The system already does this automatically. If your main is taken then it will automatically choose your second most-played legend. Assuming you're asleep at the wheel and can't choose a different legend manually. If you're third to choose and your teammates have already taken your two most-played legends then the game will automatically give you your third most-played.

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.
