Whoa, that idea's awesome. Has any game provided an option like that before? I doubt there's a way they could do that for H4, but that'd be awesome if they got it into H5 and it worked well.

The only bad thing might be that as soon as someone sees it's join in progress, they might just back out automatically to avoid being unable to vote for a map or risk landing with people who just don't do teamwork well or whatever.
