Logged on to play a match post update, and the queue sent me to a sweet, sweet screen—A map vote.
I voted for Blizzard Wolrd, as did eight of us, and I was incredibly excited that the Push map only got two votes.
Then, it happened. A lottery sound cue. I quickly realized what was happening and knew the outcome before the sound stopped.
Yes, with the new map vote system, it didn’t matter what the majority voted. We played Push.
This entire situation pretty much sums up OW 2–so close, yet so far. Thank for trying, Devs.

but wait! there is more!
Now you can’t even leave the push maps during the character select screen without getting a timeout from Blizzard.
They smack you on the hand and say, “You’ll do what we want.”
So, I smack their hands off my wallet and say, “I’ll keep my money.”

I’ve never seen a dev team force such mediocre decisions on their player base before.

Welcome to Tyrant Watch.
Where video gaming is not to be fair, or fun.
Ready player 1.
i wouldnt put it past blizzard at this point in wanting to have gamers go as far as having us locked in rooms with a vr headset and put us into a property lein just to play their game.
Yeah, I’m really not so keen on this aspect of it. I know I’m going to pull this face → 
when we all get sent to Havana because all of two people vote for it.

no way they did that 
What, next season there’s a chance your preferred hero pick gets banned instead of your ban pick?
Edit: Also wait… that map pick thing is in QP? That’s stupid.

This is why it’s better to not have a map vote system at all. Pure democracy is going to kill most maps but kings row, but if most people vote for a map and lose then they’re alll miserable. At least keep quickplay quick.

Its actually so dumb. Like, what is the point in voting if one idiot votes for the D tier map?

People were surprisingly voting for sniper maps. I thought they were supposed to be unpopular. It was an opportunity to practice my Hanzo, but I started getting antsy and trying to force Genji instead. I think I need that Storm Shadow skin to whip me into shape.

It was informed that would only increase the weight not make it truthful that if majority selected something would be that something. Which I expected them to put things like Clash or Push or Flashpoint more often due how they want to lean the population to it.
Asking for democracy is an illusion due most systems world-wide doesn’t care about it or wouldn’t work if it was used. They historically imposed stuff on their playerbase, some folks are experiencing it as first timers due their time in the game or due most changes they did in the past pleased those crowd.

It’s just maths. Statistically, what happened there will happen 1 in 5 times. It’s not some conspiracy by the devs to make the majority seethe at having to play a map they didn’t vote for.

Map voting is so bad, out of 6 games in mh, 3 of them were Havana. The old system was better imo, atleast then I didn’t get same map twice in a row. Now it’s just same maps over and over again.
Oh and all 3 Havana was my team attacking btw, not even a small changeup with defending once.
Keep mapvoting to comp and leave my precious mh out of it.

Map voting proves what I already knew since day one. Control maps are time wasting garbage and nobody likes them.

Because some players, like me, don’t want to be forced to play comp to have fun.
