Please add ability to execute !map [custom map] any time without a vote during
1) Cooldown period after game just ended - add [custom map] to future map pool
2) Auto map select(from 4) - add [custom map] to currently displayed 4 maps
every other time if someone issues !map [custom map] - simply start a vote as usual

up to 2 custom maps allowed, first came - first served basis, after game starts - reset list of custom maps

"small team games invitation" - should be a way to say a definite NO, at least for some amount of time and not see this shitty box after each and every game, after a while it gets annoying

Define "shitty box".

Note that the custom map vote limit is four, so custom maps will be replacing randomly selected maps. This sounds fine to me if it occurs in the discussion phase.

I want an ability to -never- see small teams game invitation, after I press NO - do not show the invitation for some time(10h?)
Optionally there could be a setting to -never- show it for those who always prefers big team games...

I suggest to extend 4 maps to 6 maps or find a place somewhere nearby for 2 custom maps... Replacing already selected 4 maps maybe UX troubling, like what if someone already voted for a map

why fish lobsters for matchmakers out of team room anyways, often we are just idling in team room to get some players attracted anyhow into team rooms.

snoke, I think some people play big team games in rooms that already contain many people because smaller games require too much time to set up.

i suggest a poll each time you hit matchmaker "are you really sure you want to play matchmaker and not hop into a team room?"

i often cant decide which of the big 16v16 team games room i join too, such a big choice always

Given how few small team games seem to emerge from the polls, I think I must be in a tiny minority for preferring small team games, which is a great pity.

Of course now we get custom 100 player rooms which won't make small team polls, making it even less likely a small team game will happen.

I have noticed a few times when sufficient people vote for a small team game, it still doesn't happen. Is this due to matchmaker not wanting to match people whose skills are too far apart? Perhaps that restriction could be waived?

GBrankthe_green_squig The requirements for MM team games have been increased to a minimum 25% win chance (it was 10%). The last thing I'd want is for people who trusted the poll and voted yes to be disappointed by a completely one-sided match. That'd guarantee those people wouldn't opt for a small teams game again.

Large-scale polls suggest that small teams are preferred by a majority of ZK players.

But possibly not by the majority of the subset of ZK players that is found in large teams games.

I want someone to generate stats on how often the autohosts are used vs. manually hosted general teams rooms.

That just begs the question of where one can find other small team fans then.

I want to! But... i never find a game even if i try or see 3 players in matchmaker because of too high elo.
And i dont want to make other players sad because i was able to join because weird matchmaker shenanigans just to have them die in 5-10min. I guess having small team games outside tournaments will still stay a dream for me.

The problem with organising small teams outside of tournaments is that people join them, and they stop being small teams.

Wouldn't an option to disable !maxplayers polls help?
