IMO if people want to play a smaller map pool, that's fine. I will do anything to reduce the amount of time wasted on votes and restarts. Many maps seem just worse to me. I'm not sure, but it seems like people are attached to the idea of variety as an abstraction. It's unclear to me what level of variety is good for better games on average. Most RTS have around 10 in the pool at a time with a few bans avai?
The maps I like, I could play all day. Maybe I'm built different, but the vote to constantly change to worse maps represents only a frustration to me.
