Remove LV-624 and Solaris Ridge (for like a week) They are both overplayed, and even during high-pop, rounds just alternate between LV and Solaris back and forth. There is no variation.
Better idea: Remove all maps but LV-624 until everyone is sick of it. Do the same thing with Solaris. Watch everyone still voting LV-Solaris everyone vote for other maps

LV-BR cycle will continue until morale improves.

split Cm into 2 servers, one that runs LV/ solaris 24/7 and the other that runs every other map
I can understand your sentiment. LV is overplayed. I have no issue with Big Red aka Red Rocks.

I don’t dislike 624. I think it just takes up too much of the spotlight. We have a lot of maps but I feel like we are just stuck with 50% of the game being on LV.
I would not say we should remove LV. But I’d like other maps to get played more
What’s about having maps be unvotable for two rounds instead of one after being played? I think, it would surely increase map diversity (or just add another map to the LV-Solaris meta)

That could work.

This sounds like the best option to me.

Here’s an idea. Make the other maps better so they’re played as much as LV and Solaris?
LV is honestly extremely mid. People complain that WO is the same over and over again but LV has the same exact problem. Its the same points over and over and over again at the same chokes at caves over and over and over again. I don’t know if its because thats the only way to play the map or the fact that their is so many rounds where you play LV and its the same thing.
I do think their should be a restriction on playing maps over and over again. I thought of having it tick down every single map one at a time but at the same time you would have to wait like 8 rounds to play the map you really like until its voted again.
Of course we could also add a random vote function which is for the true chads because if you dont vote random you are a coward.
No simply “making the maps better” wont change the fact people will still play LV because they arent gonna play those maps because they are gonna vote LV exclusively.
As you can tell I fucking DESPISE LV.
People will always prefer these two maps because they’re used to them.
