Map Voting System

The voting system sucks especially when you have 11 votes for a map and 1 person votes for a crap map and that map gets picked. Just had two games in a row where Kings Row came up and both times, everyone voted for Kings row except one person and both games, the map with the single vote got picked.

It really should be majority rules. If there is a tie for a map, then have the game do a random pick.

That happened to me. I was about to throw my controller through the TV. Not really. But actually kind of.

Nah. But Reinhardt’s Row needs a higher weight and people should get suspended for voting against it if they lose. It is literally trolling.

That is how probability works. Tho hitting an under 10% chance twice is unlucky.

Problem with majority wins is then the “we play the same maps all the time” complaint would be more valid. It would pretty much remove multiple maps. The average player votes for payload the most, while some ppl would be happy to always be playing payload if an option pops up, tons also wouldn’t. And I doubt blizz wants to essentially remove like 1/3 of their maps from the game. Personally I think their system is great. Majority wins most of the time, but other maps still get played as long as someone wants a chance at it.

I asked the math gods. They said they couldn’t change how probability works :frowning:

Okay, if math has failed us, I have an idea. If Reinhardt’s Row shows up, automatically select it and skip the voting phase.

But I would rather vote for push, koth, or flashpoint than kings row :frowning:

Sometimes we have to make personal sacrifices for the greater good of ThiccBuddha.

I like it. I often do not want to play the same mode and map as most others, and I’m glad I can still have a chance of getting something I like. I like that it’s a little gamble mini game while we are waiting. I like seeing the odds of what gets chosen.

But you are not in my lobbies. So no kings row voting from me!

Nah this is a good thing. Funny even. Imagine if it got picked both times. And you got stuck on defense (or attack) in each game. BRUTAL. This didn’t happen to me before map voting

I’ll agree that the map voting sucks, but not for the “majority rules” notion

Point is, they shouldn’t use probability. If one map has more votes then another, then the map with the majority should be picked. If 6 people vote for a map, and 4 people vote for the other choices, the majority shouldn’t have to suffer playing a map they rather not play.

The map vote system is sanctioned trolling.

Prove me wrong.

Honestly I’m the opposite of what you want. I want those other maps. Personally I’m kind of sick of map voting. It just seems like it’s the same maps/modes every time. I’m kind of bored of it tbh

It’s not.
I hope this clears up any confusion you may have experienced.
Variety is the spice of life.

Then do a customer game or something. Rest of us should not have to suffer playing crappy maps when there are other maps the majority would rather play.

Not sure what you mean by a customer game. But either way why not? I suffer through the crappy maps that others want to play that i might not like. I don’t mind getting any of the maps even the rare 1 or 2 that I dislike. Just gets boring playing, for example, kings row nonstop every single time it comes up. A bit of variety would be nice

Oh, so you understand why they didn’t pick your meta map.
I want to play more than 4-5 different maps a day.

Voting anything other than King’s Row is a criminal offense… or should be.

All jokes aside, I wouldn’t object to a 2-phase map vote system idea. Map Mode Type > Map

Or just avoid having multitudes of the same map mode as an option in map voting.
