Overwatch
Map vote, every time
Discussion
2 hybrids and new junk city guess who wins?
Nobody wins
Not even flashpoint lovers like NJC. Generational flop of a map.
I've had multiple people vote NJC. Always like to remind them that the Flashpoint reworks aren't in the game yet.
Literally a favorite of mine.
Prefer it to most Payload maps tbqh.
I can actually list maps for you that id never choose over NJC lol
Numbani Route 66 Hollywood Havana Rialto Dorado Circuit Brazil Map Canada Map Busan
I "might" have forgotten some.
And the keyword is never, because theres still more maps thatd be a toss up depending on what maps and games have been like that session.
the other 9 people after one guy dc's
No one chooses the flashpoint option so the game makes up a vote and it wins
As if Eichenwalde is such a bad alternative
100% agree. They could have made this meme with any other controversial map, and they chose that absolute gem of a perfect map that is Eichenwalde
this is based on an actual vote, but I agree I could've picked something else, echeinwalde good
Replace Eichenvalde with AATLIS, and you have true meme
Eichenwalde is an incredibly good map imo
I unironically enjoy it more than King's Row (and I love King's Row). The stretch from Point 1 to Point 2 is the best in the game IMO.
Idk if I’m crazy but eichenwalde is probably my least favorite payload map lol
The first choke can be so awful if the enemy team has a sym/torb/junkrat etc, and then so is the choke under the big archway right after the first point cap. Also I feel as though my teams never know how to coordinate around the high ground between the first and second point. Idk i may be one of the only eichenwalde haters lol
Yeah second point is pure cancer if they know how to defend
All 3 Points are kinda ass, but we have 7+ years of experience and nostalgia with a lot of the jank of the map being self explantory.
"This is a choke"
"This is a busted defensible High Ground, we even gave you stairs"
"This is the death hallway"
Its like, the most inoffensive version of a lot of the most annoying map directions lol
My first thought, too.
Like at least make it a Clash or Flashpoint map.
Dude kings and eichenwalde are my favorites best maps ever from ow1 days !
Eichen kinda sucks. We definitely have a bias colored soft spot for that map.
Its like, a substantially less shitty Gibralter lol.
I like to be the one vote and then immediately type "who the hell" in the chat lmfaoooo just love the chaotic energy it allows me to bring
I like to blame a random person on my team and watch the chaos unfold
LMFAO 💀 that's brutal
I always love at start in chat. Looking at some random guy on my team and go. Hey Enemy team. TubbyWubby8380 had bad day at work. Can you go easy on him this game. Just make up tall tales about peoples days in chat.
I’m going to do this now lmao
I always say “i’m in discord with [random person on my team], they said you stink”
Classic
Amogus minigame while loading lmao
My duo always says it was him. Even when it wasn't
We can be friends.
I play with chat disabled so I'm guessing I've been blamed for many a stray vote.
Yesssss stir the pot mama I fucking live for this energy!!!
Amongus vibes
This is definitely going to be me. Choosing the worst and most undesirable choice to goad everyone into a flame session lol
I had to laugh out loud at this lol
Oh Jesus i can’t be the only one that thinks this is a loser thing to do 🤦
Well I don't do it with the intention of being an ass. If it's between Kings Row, Colloseo and Lijiang I'm voting Lijiang - I don't want to play Kings Row for the 5th time that day lmfao.
Basically, I vote for the map I want, that's the point of map voting. I just like to tease everyone when I win 🥴
Oh well that’s different I had this idea in my head you were a cynical bastard LOL
I did that once, and one guy went into chat and begged it not to land on the one I voted, it did and I told him that he jinxed it lol
Fuck that, I admit it and say "all maps matter"
Eichenwalde is also goated, but nothing beats Kings Row
Kings Row holds a special place in my heart but I won't deny that Eichenwalde is a close second of mine. Honestly, I think the the middle section of Eichenwalde is peak OW. There's so many playstyles that work here and, even though it's a pretty open area, it never feels oppressive by hitscans or snipers.
I've had the most bonker crazy ass plays in that middle part of Eichenwalde. The final part is kinda meh imo. A bit too claustrophobic for a pretty open map.
So called free thinkers when they see an escort map as an option
King’s Row is #1 overall map, Eichenwalde is #2, not a bad trade.
I'm convinced this "Eeny Meeny, Miny, Moe" voting system is based towards the least voted map
Recorded statistics or it didn't happen
Stats: In the rounds where they noticed the least voted map getting picked, it got picked 100% of the time.
It happened twice so it's true. No I won't tell you the total sample size.
Remember, the only difference between screwing around and science is writing it down!
It's all just anecdotal. I have seen the least voted map chosen 3 times now, and 2 of those were this past weekend. I also don't constantly have leavers in stadium like others claim.
If you watch closely that's what it says in the at the begining
Honestly, it's stupid. Why not go for the most votes? Then, if it's a tie use or that system srsly blizzard, then we wouldn't have trolls like this.
because certain maps would essentially be unplayable
its way better this way
If people hate a map so much they keep voting it out, maybe it shouldn't be in the pool. Of course I imagine the entire purpose of this tool is to collect data on which maps people hate the most. Otherwise it seems like a pretty pointless game of roulette designed to amuse trolls and piss everyone else off.
some people like unpopular maps and should still be able to play on them every now and then
Disagree. if an overwhelming majority of players hate a map, they shouldn't be under any obligation to play it to appease the 1-5% of players who like it . In fact, it should be removed entirely
PvP players' obsession with removing content from games is fucking nuts. 'Obligation', lol.
Ah yes the best way to make people play a map, rub their nose in it.
That won't result in leavers at all.
Because some people like more than 2 maps.
So we don't have dust2 kingsrow every time it's available
Guaranteed, I would bet my left nut the amount of votes is kind a smoke screen and it's technically a 70-30 chance at most.
Good point bad example, both maps are lit af BUT IF IT WERE ANTARCTIC PENINSULA ON THE OTHER HAND (｀Д´)
I haven’t seen those distant penguins for many moons now
Because of the map vote I haven’t been able to play the new map yet. I’m the literal only person to vote for it in my games
it feels like a meme. the overwatch community is still mad about ow1 so to spite overwatch 2 the refuse to play the new map LOL
it's more because the new map is flashpoint, and a lot of people hate that mode
Is it really a meme if a game community wants to play the game they like instead of the game they don't like?
It's almost as if Overwatch is played by Overwatch players or something foolish.
I got to play it a few times in qp, ik people are avoiding it in ranked like the plague tho
I just hate flashpoint. People in this sub keep saying it requires a different style of play that is faster paced.
Except I feel like the flashpoint maps require you to use mobile heroes if you want to have an advantage. If you're late to a point, you have 1 maybe 2 chances to regroup and fight again, and if you're staggered, you might as well just regroup for the next point.
Additionally, spawn camping is totally rampant and you can get snowballed easily by a team leaving the point and camping your spawn door. There's hardly any incentive to stay on the point once you've capped.
Overall, I think flashpoint, as a game mode, is specifically tailored for certain heroes. Whereas in every other game mode, certain heroes are tailored for certain maps.
I would say I win maybe a third to just under half of the flashpoint games I play, it gives me the least amount of fun vs. The other game modes (clash not included because it's not in comp).
I think flashpoint, as a game mode, is specifically tailored for certain heroes.
Never thought about it but you're 100% correct.
I'm a mobile sup enjoyer so I personally never feel it too badly but it does always feel like you're either getting rolled or doing the rolling. That is most probably the reason.
Never feels good to lock in the likes of Ana or Zen on these maps unless you're in significantly better teams etc
I liked the new map a lot, I think it's the coolest map on Flashpoint so far.
I also don't hate flashpoint, but I think it's more adequate to qp than ranked.
I really want to properly play it but I've just been grinding ranked whenever I play lately.
My first impression wasn't negative even tho my team got absolutely steam rolled the few times I got to play it.. I think it's one of the better maps they've dropped in ovw2 for sure.
Me too but because I'm a 6v6 elitist.
It's available in the arcade
Thanks to map vote, I haven't had to play the new map. It's in arcade if you want to play.
Same, except one time I won! People were furious. I even said in chat, "I've never played this one deal with it."
I didn't see anything wrong with the map, at least not compared to the other Flashpoint maps. It was a good match.
It's one of the worst maps and it's Flashpoint so a double whammy
I'm sorry. It's flashpoint and I refuse to confront my prejudices
How about I don't want to play payload every single game. I about always vote for the little guy
Maybe OW2 should make an alternate game mode worth playing then
Those modes exist, but it requires at least 2 brain cells. Unfortunately, the community only has one brain cell, and they're all sharing it.
The graphic coulda just picked at random lol. It cycling through until it stops at one just ads drama haha
Kings Row is overrated imo
both of them are my favourites
I'm someone who votes for the least popular map. And surprisingly, it gets picked quite a few times.
Sending this to my friend she always picks the map everyone else doesn’t
I too am that person
I do it as well. I like when it wins and everyone is in chaos.
I have no idea how they hadn't fixed the map voting yet. If a map doesn't get at least 25% of the votes, it shouldn't even get a shot.. But until something is done, I'll always pick the underdog.
Good on you mate.
The unrealistic thing here is assuming people don't go nuts for eichenwald too
this really happened though ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Eichenwalde is the correct choice tho
If night lighting, King's Row always for the vibes. Other than that? Eichenwalde.
Honestly I'd do this for the sole purpose of not having to play kings row for the 100th time this week. Not that the map is bad but I'm just so tired of it now
King's row looking awfully similar to dust 2 from csgo, i hate it now
Very cool edit
Thanku
Am I the only one who doesn’t really mind what map gets picked? Like sure I have some preferences but overall I don’t really care which one I play on.
I can't believe people like King's row, legit caught me off guard.
I haven’t played a single flashpoint game (besides the new map) since voting came out 😭
I haven't played a single role-locked 2CP game since OW2 came out 😭
Exactly, I still miss 2cp :(
Good.
Can’t say that I miss them lol
I’ve played plenty of Flashpoint, but never Kings Row
I still haven’t played the new map, don’t even know what it’s called 😑
It’s called Aatlis
Jsut had to search it, I swear I’ve not even been able to even vote on it yet and I’ve probably put 10 hours since the update 🥴
It’s not on 6v6 for some reason, maybe that’s why?
Oh shit that’s why then, I’ve been 6v6 exclusive since it finally came back and avoid ranked like the plague.
Never thought I'd a take so hot I know I'm gonna get downvoted to oblivion, but I think kings row is overrated af. I'd choose Eichenwalde twice over

I don’t even get these maps as an option to vote on!!! Been that way for a while now?? I wanna play on them!
That one Torb player hoping for defence and standing in doorway spamming nails... (probably me)
LMFAO, so true
"guys i think a member of the owl group might be human":
Why are you playing against owls?
eeeeeee is going to experiment the worst play ever
yo the editing is crazy !!
thanks!
There is map voting now?
No is not every time.
Because majority rules doesn’t exist anymore? I don’t understand why they did it like this
Ok but FUCK KINGS ROW, Eichenwalde CLEARS Shit Row.
Hahahahaha, omg I thought it was just me 😂
Glad to know others have felt this pain 🤧 🍻
This is real. I’ve gotten the least voted map on the last 10 games I’ve played. I’ve also only gotten to play the new map once 😭
Its always me BTW, i hate those maps too. I just like seeing the one vote win.
DAMNIT REINHART
fuck King's Row
its like among us all over
Happened with Aatlis once. Enemy team IMMEDIATELY provided a name lol
Bunch of owls in chat
I track all my game with a spreadsheet and compute winrate by map, so every time I pick the map with the highest winrate which often put me in the 1 extra mapvote that nobody picked 😅
Every time kings row is in the map pool and doesn’t get chosen, a thousand puppies and kitties die as a result, let’s do better as a community for the kitties and puppies and always choose kings row
You're welcome
At least it's still a good map. Getting a trash push or cp map when everyone voted for a good one is infuriating.
I always choose the map no one picks because I have no issues with any map
Did people even ask for this?
I was literally watching this video when I looked up at my computer screen to see a unanimous kings row vote…
Not gonna lie as a Tank main I've started hating this map. Theres only so many times I can hold the same choke and not lose my sanity.
I like seeing different scenery while I get CC'd and punished till kingdom come thank you very much.
The fact you also have a Rein flair, its easy to tell who the culprit is
I've been found.
Eichenwalde is my favorite map! Love the theme of raiding the castle. I'll take it over King's Row any day.
:3
people are just picking purely on nostalgia, kings row is a pretty bad map, flashpoint is one of the more interesting map types, now never to be seen
I've seen it happen on very few of my games that this happens 🤣
definiately the sombra mains in comp
"i cant play sombra? okay, you cant play your map"
Seriously.
I've gotten to the point of just tossing a single vote to the invited map, to render the feature moot XD
ME! MUHAHAHAHA
me when im an owl
To be hones, I absolutely hate that they aded this to Casual. I want to play in the max number of maps as possible, I don't care if they are unbalanved I have 300 hours on Battlefield 3 AND I LOVED EVERY SECOND OF IT. I just want variety
Didn't know Reinhardt was scared to admit he voted for it, pretending with the others saying who.
I see this as an absolute win
be happy its not the new flash point map fkin maze in there
Turning a fair democratic map vote into just another shitty RNG function.. what a way to ruin a perfectly fine feature
me
So disappointed with this ! 6v6, 10 votes for Dorado, 2 votes for Kings Row, 0 votes for Runasapi … Runasapi wins !!!!???? 🤯😡😤🤯😡😤 Why offer voting when votes don’t matter !!!???
Inaccurate (it would put runasapi that literally nobody picked)
I will always vote for the map with no other votes.
owls in all chat 🦉: who
Me, picking the one map nobody voted for just for funsies and it gets picked 🤣
Then I remember I have to actually play the map as well (it was new junk city)💀💀
people that want to be the main character to the point where they want to be that ONE vote for new junk city, nah i'm spawn camping you i will NOT allow you to play the game
I’m getting sick of playing kings row, it’s a fine map but holy shit pick something else
It’s always those two that get picked. I get they’re popular but it does get tedious to play the same maps all the time like second game in a row playing defense on watch point.
This happened to me, and I felt like crashing out. i was so mad.
This is so fking well done
Map Voting in a nutshell
Map 1: Heaven
Map 2: Buddhist Enlightenment
Map 3: The middle of a crack sale in the back parking lot of a 1* mcdonalds
this community: OMG why do people hate map 3 yall have no taste its clearly better!
If 90% of the lobby votes for it, there should be no count. Just pick that map.
"omg but what if I want to play it"
I don't care.
If players vote overwhelmingly for a single map, that map is automatically selected.
From the patch notes. I've seen several times where there is an overwhelming vote majority not have it auto pick. It clearly isn't working.
I assumed they mixed "overwhelmingly" up with "unanimously"
TBH given who the company is, you'd think that stuff like that wouldn't have happened. The word mix up completely changes the meaning of that statement. It's not the biggest issue, but when it's been a days or whatever since that patch note and there still hasn't been an adjustment, it just becomes frustrating.
One would think that the person writing the notes would confirm with the developers of the changes what to put.
By overwhelming, they meant everyone picking the same map. They specifically designed the system so that EVERY vote matter.
Idk why the hell it's so hard to understand.
Overwhelming =/= Unanimous.
An overwhelming amount of people wanted Route 66. That is generally understood that there may be an amount greater than 0 people that wanted a different map, but were the very clear minority.
Route 66 won by unanimous votes, there were 0 votes for any other map.
Word choice is important, you see.
To quote you:
Idk why the hell it's so hard to understand.
IMHO the vote should be for a mode not a map. I.e. push, Flashpoint, hybrid etc and let the system pick the map from the mode that wins.
I'm only mad if the pick is ANY Clash map because this mode is just absolutely horrendous and shouldn't even exist and the new Aatlan or whatever it's named map because it's just terrible in every possible way and it feels like Ai put it together. Which is what it probably is. It's bland, generic and terrible to play on. Just get it out of my face.
The content of this video is interesting on its own but I wanna point out the video editing itself. That was pretty neat. Especially the lined up cards part. Good job whoever did it
IT WAS ME!!! thank you c:
WHO
it was HIM
Actually, op said it was, and I quote, “me”
WHO
Mario
Well done
Your application to Blizzard's marketing department is now being reviewed.
who the hell
who
uwu
How did you edit it so nicely o.o?
Honestly, I haven't played Overwatch in a long time (maybe 5 years), so I thought that animation was something within the game. Really incredible!
