I wasn’t there, but I know how you feel… It’s hard, sometimes, to do what’s best for the gameplay experience…. It seems like, if you try to fix something, you just get yelled at for meddling.
Giving the admins discretion on when to mapvote is totally legit. If there was a DRASTIC landslide (there was) of votes towards a swap, that’s 100% OK.
I, personally, will only allow a mapvote to go through it it’s more than a 75%ish victory.
I think, from all the stories I’ve been told, you guys did the right thing if there was really a 17v3 vote.
I stand behind you 100%, not that it’s worth much. I got kicked plenty today by Kuros/GXTI for a ban I made… I guess I’m not popular, but I do my job and I do it to the best of my abilities.
