LTD Game Mode Option Suggestion

Hi, I have a suggestion regarding people choosing other than the standard -hpgmcb, prophet. It's always a pain having only red wanting to play hybrid or some other mode that no one besides red wants to play. Furthermore, these nonstandard game modes always prolong games waiting to start, with people constantly leaving. Then we are forced to wait sometimes long periods for this game to start for another to be created. Last night this was at least 15 minutes. Even if red announces in the lobby, someone always misses the announcement, which results in leavers, flaming, etc.

I suggest having an option to either let players votekick red in the lobby if the majority do not want to play a nonstandard game, or have an option for red to initiate a nonstandard mode where all must vote !yes or !no, with the game only being permitted to start with a majority ruling.

No, because votekick was removed to prevent abuse. And also red has the power to choose whatever mode he wants as long as he tells every player in lobby. It's the same as a privately hosted game.

If you dont wanna play hpgm or hpgmcb hybrid, go play next game.
Furthermore, these nonstandard game modes always prolong games waiting to start, with people constantly leaving. Then we are forced to wait sometimes long periods for this game to start for another to be created. Last night this was at least 15 minutes.

Wait time will depend on time of the day. I have seen hybrid games not take long from starting also.
Even if red announces in the lobby, someone always misses the announcement, which results in leavers, flaming, etc.

As long as red announced the mode in lobby to everyone, not my problem if players in lobby were afk. It is not like hybrid is unplayable. It is a legit mode.

I suggest having an option to either let players votekick red in the lobby if the majority do not want to play a nonstandard game, or have an option for red to initiate a nonstandard mode where all must vote !yes or !no, with the game only being permitted to start with a majority ruling.

Will not enable !votekick in lobby ever again. People misuse the function more than use it for valid reasons. Typing a mode at beginning of the game is part of the map's trigger, not the bot's.

Best solution would be to use an automode. But, due to some problems we will not be doing so atm. You will need to wait for the next legion td patch which is expected to come out soon.
