Map Ban

Map Ban is a gamemode option in Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege that was introduced in the Operation Shadow Legacy expansion. It allows players to ban maps from the current match, eliminating the possibility to play the banned maps.

It is featured Ranked and Unranked playlists, and can be toggled for custom games.

• All players are shown a pool of five different maps.
• Each player is given one vote to ban one map.
  • A player can also choose "NO BAN".
• There is a time limit to Map Ban, in which the player must cast their votes to be counted.
  • After a player has casted their vote, it can be changed between one of the five maps, or "NO BAN", at any point during the time limit.
    • Casted votes cannot be withdrawn. It can only be changed to other choices, including NO BAN.
  • Votes not casted are not counted towards the majority calculation.
    • Even if the majority of the team members did not vote, the team's choice will still be calculated from the minority who voted.
• At the end of the time limit, the votes are totalled for each team, and its majority is calculated into the team's decision. Up to one map will be banned, based on the choice with the most vote on each team.
  • The map that received the most votes will be banned.
  • If "NO BAN" received the most votes,no map will be banned as the team's decision.
  • If the score is tied between two or more maps, one of the maps will be randomly banned as the team's decision.
• The ban result is announced to both teams.
• The remaining maps that are not banned are then randomly selected to be the stage for the match.
