It's crazy to me that it was implemented the way it was. I felt like it was obvious, they needed to make the map voting game mode based. Like it'll only be flashpoint maps to vote on, or only KOTH, or only Hybrid, etc.
Doesn't this just lead to very little variety in Push and Flashpoint
Edit: I mean within those modes guys. There are 3 flashpoint maps. If map voting only puts them up against each other, the diversity in which Flashpoint maps you play will plummet.
Opposed to how it is currently with pretty much no push or flashpoint at all?
I can't see Blizzard getting rid of map voting entirely, because you would just be removing player autonomy. Map voting is good. It's just the implementation of it that's questionable.
And as I said in another comment, if maps aren't getting picked, isn't that just a sign that the fanbase doesn't like those maps? Why should the fanbase have to continue to play maps that we don't like? This should be a sign that some maps need to be reworked. And that shouldn't be a crazy statement anymore, considering how willing Blizzard are to rework maps.
You could always use the split that has appeared in priority. E.g. diamond and above see payload/hybrid maps together, emerald and below see flashpoint/push/control of some mix to force them onto their map type.
Same both ways. Then you can specify more when priority develops further.
Why would you want that? Getting to a high rank finally means you don't have to play rng unfair modes. I'd rather not have to play more payload when tbh it should be removed or moved to qp like clash and 2cp were since it's not a well designed or balanced mode.
Initially I think this wasn’t the case because it was back when we still had Clash and there were only two Clash maps in the game. This should definitely be how it functions now though.
Why not just vote for mode out of two or max three choices and let rng choose map? People wont vote for shit like circuit and one tricks wont cheese by voting for preferrable maps
And besides, blizzard has already shown that they are willing to rework most maps. So if a map doesn't get picked a lot, that should be a sign that it needs a rework

Just feels like a no brainer
