Recently there were 3 eu lobbys on the same map up, and none would fill up. Needless to say that all the leaders were taking the spy slot. 3 lobbys is actually quiet rare, but i see 2 identical lobbys every day. Maybe there could be a vote to close the lobby (only joined ppl can vote), or there would simply be a limit as of how many lobbys can be created at the same time.

I can see this feature being used maliciously... quite easily in fact. And there's a lot of factors to consider, if you vote it to be closed, what's to stop the leader from kicking the person? Does the vote still count if the person is kicked? etc.

 

It's way too complicated a solution, I believe there are better solutions to this problem, so gonna give a virtual 'down vote'.

I was thinking it would be something on the general lobby page. I don't really see what available options we have that aren't too intrusive.

Yea, I mean I can think of many other suggestions. But this specific thread isn't the place for it, it's best to make a new thread for a new suggestion.

I always thought they were supposed to be implementing a system to prevent duplicate lobbies.

Preventing duplicate lobbies is a feature that is not working correctly right now.

Right, but wouldn't it be better to just make that feature work instead of adding a feature to vote them off?

That needs to be fixed then. It should give preference to lobbies expecting mumble though, those are frequenty more fun because both teams can actually communicate.

The system would consider Mumble and non-Mumble lobbies to be different.

Currently only 1 lobby for each region, game mode and map is allowed. Mumble and non-Mumble lobbies considered as a different. Consider this suggestion is completed.
