Just Build - Build vs Build vote suggestion

Small bump! I still like the idea… but

After thinking this through, I realized that there could be another problem with this voting system.

Each person, under this scenario, is put up against someone else at least once. If people see a really good build, they may be inclined to vote negatively on it to reduce the chance that it competes with their own build. What I mean is that people may think that to increase their odds of winning, voting good builds lower will reduce the chance that it is put up against their build and could get rid of its chance of winning right away, and that similarly, rating poor builds higher would tilt the vote in its favor, where eventually they would go up against those bad builds and be more likely to win. Still voted for the suggestion since it’s a lot better than what we have, but it’s something to think about…

I think the suggestion thread linked here → Not voting same lobby builds gets rid of this bias.
