Constant disconnects and "Map Rotations"

So I'm someone who enjoys playing this game from either R1 Survivor/Killer sides and two things that have been bothering me lately...

1) Is the constant disconnecting from loading screen that people seem to be getting (I get it occasionally and sent in the log as asked in the bug section) but most games we're just beginning at a 3v1 situation with 4 gens to do instead of the normal one. Often enough the killer seems to disconnect during loading and it boots us back to the post game screen (where sometimes you don't even get the 5k Killer disconnect bonus - but it still burns your offering). This issue seems to have become more serious recently after the winter event ended. Hope this gets fixed soon but many games just ends with one person giving up because its a "3v1" and it becoming a 2v1 "tunnel and proxy camp the hook" for bloodpoints. It's aggravating to have to go through multiple loads and lobbies just to get one "good or normal" game about 60%~70% of the time.

2) Map Rotations: Not sure if I have a faulty memory but I remember reading this some time and people ingame seem to corroborate this - even though I can't find the news or patch notice after searching for it. There certain maps that you are "more likely" to get on certain days meaning if you sit down and play for a 3~4 hour session you will continually see the same few maps over and over again (Example I just kept going back to Auto Wreckers like 50% of the games and Preschool/Corn for the other half. Never Ormond, Never Haddonfield, Never Treatment etc over the course of like 12~15 games.

This is extremely monotonous if you get the same map variations over and over again as someone who has played a lot of this game already - it's definitely contributing towards the fatigue even when I swap to killer or survivor. Compound this with people who might only get to play for a long session every couple of days - if they get the same map rotation would it be very unlikely for them to even see some the maps at all?

-Can anyone confirm on this 2nd point though as it might just be unlucky bias from my part-
