Team BRs in particular is not enabling this game to have any variance at all. It is literally every single game even when the votes are tied because it is always placed on the left of the voting screen.
I remember 343 releasing a patch saying this would be toned down a little, but really it hasn’t at all. I get the logic that it should stay in the game, but reduce it or at the very least randomly select ties in voting instead of always going with the left most (which is always team brs)…

How much of this do you think is due to the game being 5v5. As someone who doesn’t like AR starts on maps without instant BR pickups, I have a hard time following your logic.
Do you have any examples of good maps with a balance between BR and AR start? If you list some, maybe that could be a good starting point for the developer.
The best one I have is Snowbound AR start since the carbines and BR spawned at each base.

This has nothing to do with the map balance. This has everything to do with never just playing regular slayer or any other game variant. If Oddball, CTF, and BRs show up, I could wager money everytime that we are playing BRs. If BR start lovers were as top notch as they claim to be all the time, the map balance wouldn’t mean much (and for clarification, I am not asking for it to be removed because I don’t struggle at it at all. I am asking for it to be reduced in frequency and for ties to be random select).
And to please your request: Midship, The Pit, Sanctuary, Warlock, Backwash, Foundation, Desolation, Elongation, and Beaver Creek. I believe all of these maps have a small size with perfect symmetry that would not be hampered by a normal SMG/AR start.
