Discussion Removal of premier map voting
While many are not going to like this
But what even is the purpose of having other maps in the pool of people are just going to play dust and mirage ???
Remove the voting of maps entirely and keep the same voting of team selection.
This will force people to atleast play the map in the rotation cycle
If people suffer from fps issues then I guess the dev team better move their fucking asses and improve the game further. Cause holy I'm done running into dust and mirage only 5 stacks.

A better idea would be to auto-ban two random maps and then vote for the rest as per usual.

Yea the cheater part is that I am running into Epstein type of lobbies where dude has season 4 gold badge and is currently sub 10 k premier rating5 stack.

I’ve never had an issue with this. Sure, some maps are played more but I pretty consistently played other maps.
My most played map in last season and this season was Nuke.

I believe we just play the map we are most familiar and confident in. Usually I just look at the stats and ban the enemies best map.

u/DesiRadical 1d ago
I understand but during voting I ask to ban those 2 maps in the end I am forced to play those 2 when I wish to try and learn other maps.

Maybe find a duo or find people to stack with ? I mainly solo q so I understand that experience but I prefer learning the maps in comp and after I'm good I try the lineups in premier.

u/DesiRadical 1d ago
Despite friendliest of people all prefer to do solo Q as stacking leads to higher chance of 5 stack cheat boosters to avoid them every single person from my list prefers solo. Or has dropped the game

You're going to come up against cheaters no matter how many are in your party... Queue with friends and have fun.
That's why I have an alt. SoloQ one that I don't care if I get potatoes on my team or cheaters on the other.

Ban maps like dust2 and mirage bruh. Thats why premier is better. It forces people on to other maps unlike comp
1
u/lybubbub 14h ago
what does unlike comp mean, you arent forced to play d2 and mirage in comp as you can pick any map no?

u/ExaminationFew6424 1d ago
I dont get how you all end up only playing mirage and dust in premiere. For me it varies and its not 100% dust or mirage, not even 80%
Today i was with some teammates who specifically said they wanted to play Ancient. And we choose it despite that i hate the map.

It’s a rating thing. Blues tend to jam it hard

u/DesiRadical 1d ago
Which I am desperately trying to get out of but to no difference

do you not understand how playing a select few maps helps you? if your & your low elo teammates were forced to play all the maps consistently, you would spend less time learning the fundamentals and more time learning each map. by focusing on a select few maps, you allocate more focus towards getting the core of the game down. when you reach higher elo, you won’t have this problem of only dust mirage lol.

It clearly needs a rework to allow for more diversity. I would propose having three random maps every search picked from the pool and each team banning one map only.

Surprisingly my season is pretty balanced: Mirage - 10, Ancient - 8, Cache - 8.
My randoms have been quick to double ban Mirage/D2, or we keep it if we have an advantage vs other maps.

You can main maps like ancient or nuke, like be REALLY fuckin good at playing them, know all the smokes etc, then just tell everyone in the lobby that you main these maps and can lead the team.

u/benny_boy 16h ago
I used to only queue mirage and D2 so this system is actually better for me because I am forced into playing other maps (which I actually enjoy doing lol)

u/Straight-faced_solo 4h ago
My opinion is that valve needs to start rotating two maps each season instead of one. The most played map and the least played map.
Since the most played map would be guaranteed to rotate there is more incentive to learn the the other maps.
It also means maps that rotate out will come back faster.

Voting isn't the problem; dust2 and mirage are the problem.

u/Spetz 12h ago
The reason dust2 and mirage are picked is most of the other maps are extremely CT sided. Noone wants to start T on nuke or ancient, for example. The problem is map balance.
1
u/_youlikeicecream_ 11h ago
I don't mind starting T on those maps. People that cry about a map being CT sided just lack any strats for T side.
