when they recently released draft pick in unranked matches, one particular friend of mine that i usually play with cant get enough of it, so whenever he starts the party, he chooses draft mode.
according to the LoL wiki, the team captain is either the party starter if you have a full group or just a random player otherwise.
we usually have only 3 or 4 people, so when we start 5v5 (we unanimously detest the 3v3, so its always 5v5), it has consistently chosen me as the captain all but the very first time i tried draft, which i wouldnt really call "random".
im not exactly the most experienced player, so i dont feel very comfortable choosing bans. this has actually caused problems a few times with the people solo queueing on my team.
i was wondering why it keeps choosing me as the captain, and how to make it stop if possible.

i'm pretty sure it's determined by your order in team chat before starting the game, basically if you're at the top of the list, then you'll be the captain. Either that or you need to pray to the LoL gods and maybe they'll hear your plea

Don't know how it is done in normals, in ranked games the person with the highest ELO is chosen as captain. There is also an elo for sole queue that you can't seen, perhaps it is chosen based on that?

The best way to make it stop is finding another player so you can 5v5 tbf ;p Or get on skype with your teammates and have them telling you what to bann.

If you have a 3-5 man group, the room creator will be team captain, otherwise it is random.

Not so, I joined Winter and Xenasis the other night and was first pick.

Maybe it's 4 or 5, but 15 out of 15 games, the room creator in our 4 and 5 man groups was first pick.

It is based on Normal Elo. Therefore, to not be team captain anymore, find someone with a normal Elo higher than yours (might be a bit difficult, since that Elo is unviewable).

What he said, it put me as last pick in several other games with Winter and Xenasis. And there's no way in hell I'm above them in normal elo because I suck. :P
