Map Voting is coming

It's been revealed that map voting will arrive in the mid chapter along with the two new survivors which we already know who they are thanks to the hints.

Each person in lobby will get 1 vote to pick a map anybody who brings in a map offering will get 1 extra vote.

Personal thoughts: This system seems kinda broken already I feel this will greatly lower map diversity especially in high MMR but also it's heavily skewed towards survivor pick sense it's a 1v4 they get 4 and at most 8 votes if they use map offerings while killer can only do 2 at most. I don't think map voting should be a thing and just best left to the rng entity to pick.

    So, DC in voting screen is about to become a mayor problem. Are they really not able to see it coming?

    This is one of the worst ideas they have ever come up with in a long time lmao

    Just change map offerings to map bans, its that simple

    I'm sorry if this is true, this is a complete failure of like… 1st grade math.

    Is "4 > 1" complicated? How could this ever function without survivors just always winning the vote and going to the most survivor sided map available lmao.

    This is what they should do. Map Offerings have no place in a game like this unless they guarantee that you WON'T be going to the map offered.

    Don't worry it won't make it through PTB because of Killers and Devs only caring about Killer experience.

    Even if this were true, I guess I don't care. I like and dislike the same maps wether I'm killer or survivor.

    Gorejira is notorious for being a funky jester, he was literally shouted out by Erik in the anniversary stream at Pax. He just likes to have a giggle and he's very good at it

    If you're going to speculate on the ramblings of some random leaker, you should be clear that's what you're doing. Your post makes it sound like this is coming from the devs, which it's not.

    I refuse to believe this is true. Why would they make a change like this given that they just fixed the map offering problem? Map offerings are no longer an annoyance.

    Who would even ask for this? I'd much rather the Entity pick where we play.

    Actually would be nice imo. If they made it so you were down voting a single map. Then everyone's votes get put out there, and RNGesus lowers the chance of a specific map to be chosen. Then it would be pretty fair.

    I don't see this happening though. You can't even get people to Ready Up in the lobby, let alone vote for a map. Unless you could put in a vote ahead of time (######### you RPD) and it stays the same each time you hit the Play button.

    That would increase numbers of game crashing during loading screen a lot, so doubt it.

    can they just remove map offerings allready then ?
    they just take up alot of nodes in the bloodweb and i never liked them. Bow they are nearlly useless . Just take them out the dam game please.

    Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what's for dinner.

    Or

    Four survivors and one killer voting on what map they should play.

    Map voting makes zero sense in a game like DBD. I know BHVR often makes questionable choices but I can't imagine them greenlighting such feature.
