Changes to map votes

[freedo5]

I dont think having mechanics to avoid picking the map that people vote for makes sense. If you want to play a different map just... vote for it? Often you see when the vote concludes out of 60+ people maybe 5 or 6 actually voted.

That is probably more than fair, if people do like and vote for a map they should be able to play it.

i like the idea of the current map simply getting -1 vote for every round it's been played recently, but at the same time few people ever vote in the map vote process (ask me how i know) so, idk. vote?

I think the vote penalty would also be a good choice, i guess it would be a compromise between players choosing the map and maps rotating more.

Are there statistics we could look up about map votes? Also how are ties and lack of votes handled? Maybe in those situations the game could automatically skip the map that was just played.

no stats that i'm aware of beyond. they're logged and can be reviewed, but that doesn't include stats like who was actually in the game at the time, just who voted.

in case of a tie, it randomly chooses a top option.

if nobody votes, the map doesn't change at all, but this is pretty rare.

But maybe just in the case of ties it would be nice if a new map was forcibly chosen (randomly in the case of a tie of many different maps) instead of the current system. In regards to no votes i guess it might be left as is? If it's a rare occurrence then it's probably fine, if people wanted another map they should have voted for it.
