I think this should been features at launch , so they should be in game asap.
Map vetoes are a thing for MP players , not only competitive player .
The game needs new content soon. Maps, a new faction etc.
Not really bothered about whether the vocal 1v1 minority get esports ■■■■ or not tbh.

Interesting topic. I just created this post echoing similar concerns:
https://forums.ageofempires.com/t/patches-are-solely-focused-on-competitive-players/202772/22
Devs, please do take notice. Most of the forum members are ranked/hardcore players which comprise no more than ~20% and you’re completely losing context on what 80-90% of the player base would like to see improved.
STOP just focusing on eSports! or you will kill whatever remains of this game which only has 10% of active players from its peak.

You did a great post 
Completely agree.
Competitive players are heavily overrepresented in this forum. At the beginning we had about 70’000 players. So my urgent advice: Don’t be blinded by the overrepresented competitive players in this forum and don’t forget the 80 to 90 percent of possible non-competitive players.
The strong focus on e-sports and competitive players needs to stop if this game wants to have a long term future.

Guys, the game just needs more content options. They can focus on the competitive side 100% so long as they give us more options to use our custom content with friends.
I’d like a custom maps matchmaking for those just interested in being thrown into something different.
