Map selection
No. If we did that then half the game’s maps would never get played, and the people who normally vote for those maps would never be given a chance to play them.
The current system works fine. The majority get what they want the majority of the time and the minority get what they want when they get lucky.
I don’t want to play Legacy or Forest for the rest of my sPvP playtime. My favorite map is Temple and, of course, sometimes it gets a lot of votes, but it’s not the normal case, where it gets 2-3 votes max.
As I said, I’d leave the system as it is. Even if there is only a little chance to play a map, that player(s) have still the chance to play it. And it helps Developers gather metrics about maps, too, I guess.
Well the only two maps that I have never seen get the majority vote are skyhammer and courtyard.
And honestly, I think Anet rigged it to where it picks skyhammer more than not regardless of votes. 1 vote and skyhammer it is, way to often to be chance only.
So yeah I dont know about “Half” the maps would never get played, but I do know two that never would in favor of the majority who DONT want to play those maps.
But I do agree my favorite map is temple. Next is Kyhlo.
Foefire has gotten stupid. I swear you have to send at least two through home on the way to mid now
Regardless of all that, I see all the maps have majority way more than the other two.
Also being that there is a rotation of choices on each match it would keep it from playing 2 maps only but will likely make skyhammer and courtyard never see a player in them again. Being that the majority of people never pick them, good.

I don’t mind the RNG except for the fact that whenever skyhammer and courtyard are in the mix they seem to almost always get auto picked even with only 1 vote, I still say we should be allowed to pick what maps to que for if we wanna play non-ranked, because tbh i want the faster ques but courtyard always just isn’t fun.
