Ive had 12 games where one person voted for a map and that was what was chosen. 4 in a row where it was 9v1 and the one got it. If the tumblers (vote slots) were weighted evenly the chances of that happening would be 1/10000. I will be doing more research and recording the vote stage to study exactly whats going on but I’m certain the game weights different maps/votes differently. NOT OKAY.

I’m confused, is that supposed to be an exaggeration? Each slot is weighted evenly so Map A (popular) would have 9/10 & the unpopular would have 1/10, not 1/10000.
Granted, my sample is rather small RN:
Popular won - 7
Not Popular won - 4
Backfill - 1

I think they mean the chance of hitting a 1/10 four times in a row.

right, hitting one out of 10 4 times in a row is 1/10,000

Just accept it as a given — you don’t control anything, just like it used to be. Whatever random map you get, that’s what you play. Yesterday I played Lijiang Tower three times in a row, and honestly, I had zero problem with it lol.
If you don’t like the map, just leave right at the start so your team has time to get a new teammate.

While that does make more sense, I still don’t think the number would be that high.
9 x 4 = 36/40
1 x 4 = 4/40
and how did you get that number?
are you suggesting we should endorse blatant deception of the playerbase? If they want things to be weighted differently it should be clear what odds are.

My opinion is that there never should’ve been any kind of map voting — especially not in quick play. There shouldn’t have been hero bans, no forced role locks with 2 tanks, 2 DPS, and there never should’ve been a limit in the first place that stops you from stacking the same hero.

That part I get.
What does that part mean?
ask chat gpt to explain to you consecutive probability odds

can you not explain the p(n)=(0.1)n?
Alternatively, all of my games have gone to the majority vote. This is Gacha all over again. I literally went an entire year losing all 50/50. My very first banner had me go to hard pity which nobody believed happened because the odds were low. But someone has to be that unlucky. Might as well be me.

It would be (0.1)^4. So 10% chance multiplied 4 times. Getting 0.0001 Chance of occurring. 0.1 is 1/10. 0.01 is 1/100. 0.001 is 1/1000. And 0.0001 is 1/10000. So 1 in 10,000 times it would occur.
Aka extremely rare, but possible. OP if telling the truth, is just very unlucky. But with how many games have been played already since the patch, maybe people would have experienced this.

Consecutive probability is multiplicative, so rolling a 10% chance twice in a row is 1 in 100. Three times in a row is 1 in 1000, etc.

It’s not rigged, you’re just unlucky. Have a sense of humor about it - it. a. game.
