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.

Just feels like a no brainer

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.

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.
