Ranked Choice is an objectively mediocre use of ranked ballots. A candidate can be everyone's second choice, and they're guaranteed to lose. They'd be eliminated immediately because RCV only counts top votes. You really want a Condorcet method like Ranked Pairs.

Consider the following election:

45% of people vote Alice > Bill > Charles.
35% of people vote Charles > Bill > Alice.
20% of people vote Bill > Charles > Alice.

FPTP says Alice wins, despite 55% of people preferring anyone else. Obviously terrible. Right?

RCV eliminates Bill and says Charles wins... despite 65% of people preferring Bill.

Condorcet says Alice v. Bill goes to Bill and Bill v. Charles goes to Bill so Bill wins.

As he should.
