Redesign of the Remake Vote

I redesigned the Remake Vote based on all the reddit threads on here expressing concern about the whole remake process. The most popular concerns being:

  • The UI looks too similar to a surrender vote
  • People don't know what a remake is or what it does
  • The window to initiate a remake vote is too short

Here are the intentional design decisions I made:

  1. The vote is automatically initiated center-screen and the game is paused (similar to an overtime vote)
  2. An explanation of what choosing 'Remake' entails and what choosing 'Continue' entails is included to educate players
  3. People's usernames are shown (i.e. the vote is not anonymous). This is an interesting one. After reading a few studies on anonymity and deindividuation, I considered it might actually bring a bit of self-awareness back - resulting in a conscious decision and perhaps (ironically) less toxicity.

Let me know your thoughts! Open to (constructive) feedback!
