and yet it’s been 8 years since release and these bozos from blizzard still can’t figure it out? i don’t want to play payload ever because it’s not fun and yet i am forced to if i wish to play competitive, when will you guys figure it out?

It is something they said they were looking at.
Certainly with the faceit tournaments, it should be a thing (if it isn’t already). Along with hero bans. As both those ideas work well in a coordinated environment.
No sure about ranked though.
they dont want us to play the great map not the boring maps
Blizzard are behind the times with many things. Would be a great idea to get rid bad maps/recently played ones.
They might try and release something like this in OW3 
.

We should have a map and mode vote (well those 2 are pretty much tied in together in OW) at the begining of the game like they have in Mech Warrior Online.
Im pretty certain Push maps would be at the bottom of that list, although I kinda like the shifting front thingy with them. I hate junkertown, illios, gibraltar, route 66… lijang tower, nepal and hollywood are also not my favourites.
For those of you that dont know there are 11 maps that were concepted but not finished/cut. As well as the now disabled 5 Assault (aka 2CP) maps.

Quick play could try it.
Wouldn’t be great for ranked. As you’d, rightly, just avoid the maps you dislike/are bad on/don’t suit your “hero”. And the whole point of ranked is it is supposed to judge how good you are against your peers.
100% needed it tournaments and pro matches too.
Yeah you might be right about ranked. Especially premades would benefit massively from that. Its just boring to play the same map 3 times in a row sometimes, especially if its one you dont particularly like.
Had Illios like that 3x and not one Kings Row that one night. I was cursing at the game “common you dont have any other map?!”. Just my luck I guess.
This is how it works in MWO, if your vote is not the one picked, your vote value gets 1x up each time for the next game/vote. So initially it can be gamed abit (pick the unpopular map/mode for a boost) but its quite fair in essence. It used to be where you can see the vote progress but because of ppl gaming the system they made it a hidden vote until the results.

Sometimes I wonder if they just say these things to calm the community down but in reality there are 0 plans.
it’s obvious why they will never do it, because many maps will have 0 players so if you like one of those, then you are screwed.
Honestly. If they did, it wouldn’t surprise me. But I am not sure they have ever said anything that was an outright lie to keep people quiet. It is 2024, that just isn’t going to work. Stuff leaks way to fast now. There aren’t any surprises anymore.
Certainly at BlizzCon they like to mention a lot of the things they are working on. But 6 months later things can change, priorities change, or they find that the thing they mentioned is just rubbish and can it.
