Vetoing all z maps, cauz i can't stand zvz anymore. theres this thing on the SC2 ladder, the matchmaking system. Contrary to your belief, it was designed to match you up with someone as close as possible to your skill level, such that the match ends up with an outcome that is as close as possible to 50%. The matchmaking system does not pair players up based on what maps they vetoed, otherwise, you would have bronze players playing against masters, because they both had the same maps vetoed. However, if you for example decide to join a custom game on delta quadrant, then yes, that is how it works there. You will be faced against someone who likes delta quadrant, thus the selection will be based on the map, and not the skill level. So there, you might end up with a masters playing against a bronze, because they both chose delta quadrant. And by queuing for a delta quadrant custom game, you significantly reduce your chances of getting ZvZ. learn more about the matchmaking system: http://eu.battle.net/sc2/en/blog/1549172 http://eu.blizzard.com/support/article.xml?locale=en_GB&articleId=46710 "Whenever you join the queue for a ranked match, Battle.net works to pair you with an opponent of equal skill." Notice how it says "an opponent of equal skill" and not "an opponent that vetoed the same maps you did" | ||

But as has been discussed in other threads, the matchmaking system first chooses a player for you to face, then looks at downvoted maps. In other words, your probability of getting ZvZ is completely independent of the maps you downvote. | ||

Btw, I always wondered. Doesnt the matchmaking system find players first, and then checks avaliable maps based on their downvotes? Cant imagine why on earth it would find maps before players. Yes, it should find players first then maps. If you select from the join of maps and players, it is a much larger set to choose from as opposed to just selecting 2 players then selecting a map, which accomplishes the same thing, albeit in 2 queries. Course, blizz could have some other elegant optimized solution that does it in one query. | ||

You cannot defend your natural at all and even if I did not play Zerg I would probably veto it. Just a horrible map. | ||

Xel Naga because I don't like the open natural and I'm sick of it in general. Shattered temple because of the huge space in the middle. Leave the base and you have blink stalkers and collossi walking straight into your main. Typhon is also vetoed but I might change that. I just has never led to any fun games. | ||
