As anyone who's recently played public games might have noticed, the abuse of votekicking has gotten out of hand. Certain clans and/or groups of people have made it a habit of using votekicks to improve their chances of winning as well as getting rid of anyone they have personal issues with.
The votekicking system was implemented to allow teams to kick people who AFK, troll or grief their own team. Any other use of this system is pretty much a guaranteed ban in every other multiplayer game that has matchmaking. There don't seem to be any systems in place which allow votekicks to be analyzed for their legitimacy, and players have caught onto that. What's worse is that they are pretty much directly rewarded for kicking any player below a certain skill level because of how the gold balancing system works.
This thread serves pretty much just as an extension of another one which should give you an idea of where this kicking culture is headed: https://forums.taleworlds.com/index...rs-from-server-should-be-harder.446402/unread
One post summed it up best
TaleWorlds, if you still care about new players at all, you best take some time to look at this current situation. The state of matchmaking has encouraged players to take matters into their own hands and start tailor making their teams by just votekicking as they please. The ones who suffer the most are the newer players.

Votekicking players in skirmish is a surefire way of making people leave the game. Literally isnt possible for some people to play the game...
If winning a skirmish match in a non competitive gamemode is so important to people, seriously reconsider your priorities people.
