Vetoes not working properly

So me never getting a vetoed map before during my 600 hrs of play is just a huge coincidence?

That's the misunderstanding, It has never meant that.

I've just heard back from out Server Team and I have some news on the Veto Issue. There is a Server Side bug that is causing some votes to get lost. Its a simple server side fix. We will be rebooting the Server at 3pm Pacific Time.

Thanks

I think there may be a misunderstanding on how Map Veto actually works. Just because you have voted to veto a Map doesn't mean you will not play on that map.

"A Veto counts as a single vote against a Map. When creating a Match, the Automatcher will only select among maps that have the fewest amounts of Vetos"

Basically, the Server sums up the total number of Vetos for each map for everyone, then generates the set of maps with the least number of vetoes, and randomly choose one of them.

I've talked with the Server team and they are going to look at it, (just in case) if there is a problem it should be easy to resolve with a server side fix. I did some testing here and Map Veto-ing was working as intended.

I've played this game for 5200 hrs & I certainly know how vetoing works. However, this bug is introduced in the game just after the 26th hotfix, and it has never been like this before.

Believe me!
