Because they're not meant to work, the results will be revealed when the voting ends.

I secretly hope it is because they intend to tamper with the results so that the map pool doesn't end up being too dreadful.

He banelimg busted 2/3 games for the 2-1 win. I had a wall with all my raxes, facs depots and bunkers and still lost on crevasse.

I was so mad I punched a hole in the wall.

To all those saying that "stupid" people will ruin the experience and keep them off the ladder i say good riddance. Blizzard decided to take this to a vote, thus everyone is entitled to their opinion and no one has the right to look down on them for it (it's a game, it's meant to be fun). Some people like to play rush maps, others are nostalgic of them (they used to play a lot back then and not at all now) while some think the current pool is consisted of the same map in various sizes with different graphics.

I'm entitled to my opinion that it's idiotic to enable anyone with a Bnet account to dictate a map pool that everyone uses.

If you've stopped playing because you like rush/cheese games, how long will you come back for once Steppes is back out of rotation? If you're nostalgic for Metalopolis, go play a custom on it. Me and friends had a 4 man for fun tournament on old maps, had a good time.

Nothing against the casuals who don't play ladder anymore, but giving those people votes equivalent to people (not me obv) who use it to practice competitively? Not to mention the self-confessed people who vote for the worst possible pool because they see it as funny?

I beg to differ, unless SC2 ladder is only about pro play that is and since there is not a chance Blizzard thinks that's the case, they act accordingly. The pros should be the ones that practice on custom maps, or they could have a different ladder.

I am honestly not a fan of this
To all the haters: you deserve to witness many, many more Serral victories, worthy of the godlike player he is.

In almost every game I can think of the automated ranked matchmaking is where the competitive-minded play, and customs are for fun fucking around or specific practicing.

Your goal may not be pro play, maybe you want to finally push into Masters or finally get out of bronze.

Also Blizzard clearly set up WCS with ladder in their thinking, given the map pools are very similar, IMO so that amateur players could practice on ladder and still be familiar with the maps for WCS qualifiers etc.

Maybe Blizzard just tries to get us to the custom games and the chat channels with it, which may not be that bad of an idea actually. I took a break for a year now, but I guess channels & customs are still somewhat dead?

There really should be a separate poll for the metal leaguers. Not everyone wants to play on cramped, terrible maps.

Got any numbers on that claim?
How many games on ladder are actually between high Masters / grand Masters players? Still though, the point of the matter is that Blizzard is trying to get more people to play ladder again, after all SC2 ladder activity is nowhere near what it used to be the first couple of years although HOTS was launched just 1.5 years ago. Coming up with a set of "balanced" - well thought out maps that play well with the current meta has not really worked out for them (they have been doing that for many seasons now), one shouldn't blame them for trying something completely different.

I didn't say ladder is for the too 2% of the playerbase, but the whole existential point of even having a ladder is for those who are competitively minded at some level.
