    Still getting robbed of my map pick

    So you know the drill. You patiently wait through the terrible featured maps like Shovel Dodgers, Airport, etc. only to have your pick overwritten by some lazy dull map. Fix your stuff Ubidumb.

    Care to actually share pictures of your maps before slating all of the featured maps? Lets see what a "Real" level designer makes...

    I'm not saying I disagree entirely before jumping onto my post, shovel dodgers is a novelty map, you'll either love it or hate it, I hate it myself, but that doesn't mean it isn't a unique concept, therefore it does deserve a little bit of time in the spotlight, although it should get removed soon as it is getting a little boring.

    Although before going too far off track, you need to tone it down a little, there's some hidden gems in the featured list, don't blame Ubisoft fully for the same maps being played, blame the playerbase who keep picking it.

    No, they approved of this stuff without a second thought so the blame is on their shoulders. I'd show you pics if Google didn't remove the ability from XBox One users but I've played all of my maps multiple times and the flow and fun factor is better than most of the featured maps but that's not my point.They don't seem to test the featured maps carefully.

    The issue is when you do get a chance to choose your map for voting, the system will override your selection and insert some featured map instead. So your selection never even gets a chance to be voted on. It's happened to me several times, and I've watched it happen to others.

    I even took video of it flipping my map choice to one of their featured maps
