Just got done reading and post on a topic talking about Ragnarok and Exile being played to much. (which is indeed true) Then I thought, the problem could probably be resolved by simply reducing the voting pool down to 2 maps per.
If you do this, then by design it would lower the chance that those two maps would appear in voting. Instead you would see voting sessions between Vortex and Meltdown, Longbow vs Meltdown and so on.
I’m much to lazy do sit here and come up with the math to find the exact probability of the results, but i really think this would help diversify the map selection.
I go crazy playing Exile and Ragnarok so often. That being said, they are the ones being voted in… so obviously people want to play them.
Something that would change the map votes is if you cold move your vote. This way if there were 2 less popular maps with split votes, then some players might choose to move their then deciding vote to a map that was their 2nd choice, but still not the most popular.
The key is to stay with a simple voting scheme while still giving players the maps they want to play.
At the end of the day, if 90% of the population wants to play Exile then Exile is what we’re playing.

Heh, true. Though I kinda wish we could go back to the days before map voting, and just have the game give us what map it wants to give us. The point of the voting system was to prevent people from leaving games because they didn’t like the map, but with join in progress that isn’t much of an issue anymore.
Well actually 90% of the population wants to play Ragnarok, and 50% of the population wants to play Exile, but 343i doesn’t want us to play Ragnarok. Playing only Exile however, is obviously fine.
While reducing the weight on Ragnarok was fine, when it was reduced to a point where you play it any less than more than any other map, it is to much. It is a way better map than Exile, and it makes no sense that it should be played less…
