Why is vet still a voted option instead of a queue?

My friends and I used to play a lot, and we always got annoyed that people would vote for all sorts of different variants that we didn't want to play. We always wondered why there weren't just other queues so that you could just pick the mode you want to play and play it.

After coming back from some time away, we were glad to see different modes in different queues, but vet is still a voted option. Why? It's so frustrating to have to sit through a lobby as it fills up, then sit through a loading screen, then sit through the countdown timer, all for people to vote vet. That's a lot of time to waste on not getting to play the game mode you want to play. Why not just have separate queues for vet and regular as well? Just seems stupid to have people queue up and load into a game which might not even be the game they want to play. It would be like queuing up and loading into a game of League of Legends, only for it to be URF mode 50% of the time. It's fine if you like URF, but if you want to play the normal game, this just wastes your time as you have to leave and requeue for another attempt.

Agreed. All I see now is people quitting when it's Vet or Non Vet. I can't take it. Clearly this isn't working.

this times 1000. let people "vote" by joining or not joining a game that's pre-specified as Veteran mode. all the in-game vote does is piss people off, due to their expectations being violated one way or the other.

there's an argument to be made that if you start splitting lobbies up more than they already are, it's going to get harder and take longer to fill lobbies up at all

Please allow Vet to be an auto option when making a game. I cant stand asking people to turn on vet and leave when its not
