Elect host option for customs

I’m sure all of us at one time or another have been playing a match where a person who provides bad connections to one or more players in the game keeps pulling host resulting in poor gameplay and many double KO’s.

What I propose is that there is an elect host voting option like the map/gametype voting system prior to custom matches that is toggleable on/off.

Obviously in a matchmaking environment this could be abused but I see no harm in including it as a toggleable option for customs so you can play with people who have problem connections and don’t have to worry about them pulling host and degrading everyone else’s experience.

Other players thoughts welcome.

Thanks for reading this thread and any replies.

The only problem with this that I can foresee, would be players fighting for who gets host. But I really like the idea! It would allow for more conclusive results for 1v1’s, by this I mean that you could alternate hosts each game, which would take host advantage out of the equation.

Like this idea tons …

Nice idea. That would definitely be useful.
