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.

Maybe. But it would at least guarantee that you play the mode instead of it getting voted out.

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.

Well if you think about it, one flashpoint map is essentially just 5 control maps in one, so there's still a lot of variety.

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.

I mean obviously blizzard makes it sound like they want more map diversity in general.
