Ingame voting

[TwerDefender]

@Leshanni

Any claim made here that people who are voting aren’t actually playing is completely unprovable.

that’s true. it’s also true that any claim to the opposite is unprovable. I think msft would look at some data to see what percentage of players vote without playing before making any decision

@Leshanni

It’s unlikely that people will put effort into deliberately and in coordination with enough people try to skew the map pool for laughs

we even have people gleefully admitting that they vote to mess with others:

@Green4uu

Hello,

voting troll here. I am a 1v1-only player, and deliberately vote the worst TG maps for TG players, partly because I hate the notion of TGs, partly because I think TG players should l2p on maps different than Arabia aka “I go Archers you go Knights”, Arena aka “we boom and pick a bunch of Castle drop civs” and BF aka “we boom and send a few Archers on the flanks”.

@Leshanni

People on this forum (myself included) petitioned for in game voting precisely to make it easier for more people to vote.

I think the current system is better than the forum voting, and I also advocated for it. I think it could still be improved

@Leshanni

It makes no sense trying to make voting more difficult and elitist again

I don’t want any of that. I want voting to representative. It should represent the interests of those who are affected by the map selection.

@Leshanni

if the people who vote for the map don’t play you won’t need to ban it and will never have to play it…

that’s not true
say the map pool with current voting is (only 3 maps for simplicity)
Arabia, Arena, Michi

if a Arabia and an Arena main get matched, by your logic neither bans Michi because ‘nobody wants to play it’ so the former bans Arena and the latter bans Michi. they play the map because it’s the only one left
