Map change votes broken?

[S435]

I've been in a few games now where someone has called a map change vote and some players haven't even seen the vote and the game has just ended. This can be extremely frustrating, especially if playing on Marathon and this has happened after 1+ hours of playing. Is there a form of decision cast based on the rate of answers? I can see why there would be, but if you are in the middle of a tank/infantry fight, you may not get chance to look up for 5-10 seconds or so.

I get that not everyone likes every map, but if players have invested a reasonable amount of time into a particular round, the worst thing that can happen is it finish without conclusion. I certainly don't mind losing a game if the battle has been long and hard fought, but to have no conclusion at all, especially when there's been no apparent vote (or one that has been concluded quickly) is the kind of thing that could cause people to leave and not return.

Rate of answers isn't a factor in the decision. The duration of the vote is just as long as most other votes: 30 seconds. The rules are: for a map vote to pass at least 20% of the players have to vote for it within 30 seconds and for everyone who votes against it someone else has to additionally vote yes.

Thanks for the reply - definitely seen some very unusual results/behaviour then, when it comes to map change votes on the TA Official Marathon server at least.
