Why did they add an arena preference feature and then have it never work?

I've played aqua dome 4 times in a row even though it's thumbed down. Psyonix y

It's always 4 times in a row.

Learn how it works first.

You thumb down the ones you don't want to play on and thumb up the ones you do want to play on

[Volodesi]

Thumbs down doesn't mean you won't get that map.

Just lowers the chances.

And thumbing down a map pretty much doesn't work if that map is more peopel generally have it thumbed up.

Yes, and that doesn't take it out of the queue. It just makes it less likely to appear since you don't prefer it. If someone on the other team has it liked, you cancel each other out and it appears as often as normal.

let use doubles for example.

if nobody upvotes or downvotes a map, it has normal chance to be played.
lets use aquadome for this example. if everybody downvoted it, it wont be played.
if 3 people downvote, and 1 person upvotes, it has 25% chance for being selected normally.
if 2 up and 1 down, 50%. etc etc

Arena Preferences

• Preference weighting has been updated to be simpler. A map’s odds are now changed based on the net percentage of the lobby who like or dislike a map
  
• If all players in a lobby Dislike a map, it will now never appear
  
• If half of the players in a lobby Like a map, it will appear 50% more often
  
• If one player Likes a map and another player Dislikes it, it will appear as often as normal

Also a user on Reddit came up with some hard data on the system...

You don't work

Well, I along with many people, have that map liked. So if you came across those people in game it would balance out your dislike.

The funny thing is that I have Aquadome disliked and get it way more then the maps I actually liked...

Well, I for one liked the arena, because it gives me a competitive edge over people playing on hardware that doesn't meet the minimum system requirements. Maybe others do too :)

That, and all the people whining about Aquadome/Starbase Arc made me like these maps ;-)
