I don't have the data in front of me, but I often feel like the breadth of choices actually limits our freedom. there's usually 1 or 2 maps that win several rounds in a row because the majority agrees that they want to switch maps, but can't actually agree on *which* map to switch to, so the current map will get 5-7 votes and the other 6-9 get split among the other choices.
overall, I think that playing the same map 3 or 4 rounds in a row, especially when you're wanting to play something different, encourages the players who want to see something different to just log out, further skewing the polls. first past the post voting almost always encourages apathy and nonparticipation as its clear winners because it's such a beatdown to lose repeatedly that you end up forming a two choice system (like we currently have with oshan/cog1).
like, eventually you start voting **against** the current map rather than **for** the map you really want to be on.
I dunno, I just don't feel like the current system works out very well and I'd like to see a change. maybe we could do an alternate voting system with 1srt, 2nd choices?
