I’ve played like 20 games and every time I get a KOTH or a defense map, which, after completion gets emptied and there’s not enough players so I could play the attack.
Please let us have a system that at least gives us the opportunity to prefer the maps we’d like to play. Getting stuck in an endless loop of defence and KOTH is really killing the fun for me.

aside from map choosing the gamemode would be fun like if you wanted escord and control but not 2 capture you could disable it etc it would be pretty good
even paladins has it
Yeah that could work too, just something to narrow down the possibilities of not constantly ending in a gamemode / map one dislikes.
When I played StarCraft I could vote against 3 maps (out of about 10) so those had lower chance to be used in a match.
In contrast giving OW players the ability to seriously restrict map usage and/or game modes to only a few favourites could seriously split the player base which could have a strong effect on competitive ranking. It could also make the job of the matchmaking system much harder in some cases even for QP.

Yeah, qp should definitely have this option… I’m really not looking forward playing 2cp maps in qp,where teams are made off hanzos widows doom fists etc.

Travelling to Hanamura!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, 3rd time in a row…
I’d like to see a blacklist, much like the avoid player, avoid map, add 2 to the list.
I have to agree, the map rotation seems to be a bit broken. I’m always getting Junkertown which is my least favourite. I miss King’s Row and Oasis.
Also I wish you could opt out of joining games in progress, where you join a game on a map you just played only to be in the match for five seconds before you hear DEFEAT lol. I get a lot of the same maps because of this for some reason. (Not to take away from OP’s topic, a preferred map feature would be really neat.)
It will never happen because blizzard say they don’t want to split the community, even though the community is made up of 30 million active accounts
This could work if when you queue you were allowed to vote for a map you want to play. The map that you get to play won’t be “the most popular vote” but rather a random map from everyones votes. So if all 12 people vote kingsrow, you have 100% chance of playing kingsrow. If 11 people vote oasis and 1 person votes hanamura, chances are you will get oasis but the AI might still pick hanamura.
I ALWAYS get oasis at least once a day… Not that I dislike the map, but it gets tiresome playing the same map everyday…
Man you know it’s bad when you actually pray for a 2cp map when you’ve been playing 5 KOTH maps on a row
I would want the matchmaking to look at the last idk 10 matches or so of every player and pick the map that was least played. Or something like that.
