its actually ruined the game, all you ever get is the same 5 trash maps over and over, either remove it or allow us to ban maps for a season, let players ban maps they dont want, so we can ban, eichen, kings row, route 66, gibralter, lijiang, I’ve played these maps so much that I actually despise them and actively either leave them the second the are voted or throw if I already have a leaver ban, they were fine maps until they became the only damn maps you can play every time you launch the game. The second you get a new map in the trio everyone votes the map you just played six times even if its the same players you just played with. Remove voting, it’s actually the worst thing ever added and has actively killed the game variety

so you are upset people have using their ability to chose the map , to chose the map they want? if you are upset that no one wants to play the map you want just go to the custom mode, choose the map you like and sit there in it until you are ready to que. heck make it public and see if people join to have fun.

we really need to either remove map voting or give us a “random map” veto option to vote for. i’m tired of having the same maps ALL the time.
just stop with this. the fact that other players now decide EVERYTHING about how your games are gonna be, has ruined the game’s diversity. the exact same maps every day. the exact same heroes banned every time. the game has become boring when it was actually in its best state. these additions were completely unnecessary and should either be removed, or we should be given a “random map” and “no bans” veto option on both screens.
it’s also extra boring that it takes 3 hours to start your match now. hold on! let me just fill out my ballot, make sure there are no hanging chads, doublecheck i marked fully inside the box next to my candidate, provide voter ID, prove i did not already vote.

YOUR TEAM has a choice to where they want to play to the best of their abilities. If they dont want to play the map you want because they dont like it, find another team that wants to play what you want. And if this is your mindset stay away from comp, you just want to have fun, go do that in quick play or the custom modes. The world is your oister there, but people want to actually win in comp, and playing on maps that are good like kings row as opposed to the dreaded push maps, will always be better. If you want to get upset , be upset that there aren’t better maps made that people like, which is why they chose the ones they do like that are good.
Hopefully the less favored maps will be getting such much needed work done to make them enjoyable.
Nobody votes for Aatlis or Antarctic Peninsula cuz the maps just plain suck, for example.

“How can I be different today”
Honestly Aatlis is probably the only map from flashpoint that I’ll see get voted. It’s much more bearable compared to the other ones.

The game modes suck. Not the maps. If they where all Payload. I wouldn’t hate them. Paris and HLC are the only maps I despise. Based on their designs. The rest are the modes themselves. FP because of the WALKING. But, but…but the doors speed you out. You walk to the points. At the same rate as the other modes.
Except when FP picks the next location. That’s across the entire map. Than we have Clash. Clash lasting more than 10 minutes, in QP. Clash, is just disguised 2CP. But going back and forth. The hell do I want to go back and forth on a map.
I hate Shambali and Circuit. Because of those ramp sections. But I will play all Payload maps over any other game mode. And I will play Kings Row 200 times. Before I play any other game mode. DESIGN better game modes. And I won’t just play payload.
They know Clash is a junk mode. They only made 2 maps. And never programed the mode, for VS AI. Every single time I give Push, Control etc. a chance. It just junk after junk teams and loses (15YVN8). Because the majority don’t want to work as a team. So the only mode that works the best, is Payload. If you want to play the other modes. Than I suggest reach the rank of Master.
Idk why people pretend it’s “the same 5 maps” when they are not even options most of the time. It literally prioritizes options being things that haven’t been played much recently, plus some randomness.

Map voting, hero bans, perks and even stadium (basically all the additions of the past year) can go the way of the dodo and you wouldn’t get a single complaint out of me

It is better to appease the majority than the minority. Business 101.
Too bad they haven’t made more payload maps for 2 years.

I find it means I just don’t have to play push and flashpoint much, but still get to play all the other maps, which is fine by me.
I’m fine with them adding more payload, but would prefer more push and flashpoint since they still have so few options.
This but only the control maps should go.
How map voting SHOULD actually work.
You select the map types you want to play on. You toggle off which map types you don’t want to ever see again.
You join whatever map type you picked and only vote for those maps from that one. No more mixing types.
There I fixed the time waste problem caused by control, flashpoint, and clash maps winning by 1 rigged vote. Fact the one person who voted for control on your team usually can’t win them. They voted to throw and lose and waste your time playing a 14 minute game that could have been two 7 minute or less payload or hybrid maps instead. This is why your challenges take so long to grind and do.
You did fix it. But they did this all on purpose. Because they have the data. They know Payload would be the only mode picked in low ranks. Clash, FP, Push, and Control. Would be dead for 80% of the userbase. Clash mode is 100% dead. Only 2 maps ever made. Pulled from Comp. And never programed for VS AI.
You also increased queue times for everyone. And while you might be fine with barely any map variety, not everyone else is.

higher ranks vote payload alot less often. focus on climbing ig
What they should do is let each player in Settings pick what maps they don’t like to play on and then it will try to avoid those maps when they queue up for games. Now, their queue times will probably go up because of this, but that’s their trade off.
But i’m in agreement that map voting is dumb and should be removed.

That idea increases queue times for everyone, not just the person being more picky on the maps.
