declined Larger Variety of Maps Available for Matchmaking

[Plaguebringuer 0]

I have an idea to get a bigger variety of maps in MM battles. We all know that most players hated the current matchmaking, of course we have a part that they liked, but most do not. So this is my idea: let the players choose the MAP they are going to play in MM. Basically it would work like this: you would click to play a battle and have the option to choose any map, from the Arena to the Zone. and the MM will match you with other players who also chose this map and start a battle. This would be very good for three reasons:
1st: there will be a greater variety of maps
2nd: Younger players would have the opportunity to explore new maps and learn to play across all types of range
3rd: It would make the game more competitive and more fun, because what do you prefer? Enter a map you like or have the opportunity to explore a wide range of maps, or have few opportunities in the current MM and not even know which map you are going to play on?

Thanks for viewing! Have a nice day

Declined

Suggested many times before. This is impossible to implement because MM will never be able to find 16 players, who all want to play the same game mode AND map at the same time (and also have similar ranks). Besides, back when we did have ability to make battles on any map, servers were still full of the same 5-6 popular maps, so there will be even less variety if players are allowed to choose.

But I have another Idea. I think the developers can upgrade the actual maps that aren't in the MM, like the Island, that was upgraded to Archipelago. It will be more simple and more fun for the players. Example: Increase the area of the Camp map, for more players in the map for MM. Or add actual maps that aren't MM but support thar amount of players,actually 16 (8x8) and give a more variety of maps. This is a better Idea viewing in your vision point. What about this one?

Well, they are working on it, slowly.

But don't forget that the more maps there are in the game, the more work needs to be done to implement new map changes. For example, if there was an update that replaced one of the house models with another one, there's a big difference between having to replace that model manually in 30 vs 80 maps. So new maps should only be converted into MM if they are actually suitable for that type of gameplay.

Good idea, but there are to many maps, so every players would choose different maps and mofe ,i think. Look at my idea, the vote system:

The matcmaking system selects players from a queue by GS and rank. Than randomly selects a map whith a theme.

Thats good, but many players exit from the battles because they dont't like the map or theme or both. And because of that, the other theme gain advantage because they have more players for some seconds, they capture flags, points, and than, from the other team, players who joined the battle, will exit because 'oh, a loser team'.

That can be solved with a new and good system, called the wote system. 

This system allow players, who selected to join in one battle, to vote out of four maps, and the map which get the most votes, will be selected. Players also can vote for the battle theme.

NOTE: I know that not 14 players selected whrn thr battle starts, but when most of the players are selected, the voting screen appears, with four maps and all themes, and players can vote. There can be also a 'skip' . 

The vote system

Advanteges: The chance is bigger that you will play on a map what you like, and a theme what you like, and less players will exit when the battle starts. 

Disadvanteges: Some maps will be more popular than others.

NOTE: I know that it won't be easy to do for developers, but i hope that they will do this system, because MM will be more fun with this.

NOTE FOR NIGHT MODE: If 90% of the players agree to play in night mode AND this mode gets the most votes, than the battle will be in night mode. Players don't like night mode because 

1) eye strain (maybe night mode battles can be a bit lighter)

2) gauss. Thats true, so a little red point will apper on your tank when a gauss is focusing on you, only in this mode.

If devs don't agree to put this theme to MM, than this note isn't important.

 

I hope it will be added on a nice day

With voting you will still have players leaving the battle the moment the map is chosen.  Getting 16 players to all agree on a map is not gonna work.  Players will leave for the same reason they are leaving today - the map they don't like is voted on.

Plus... if "Groups" are present they will have a much better chance of getting the map they want.  3 votes right off the bat for a specific map will skew the results in their favour.  So the other players stand a good chance of always playing on the map  the Group wants.
