What is with the level selection lately?
If I play survivor it's always McMillan Estate, if I play Bubba it's the f****** hospital where I can't use my chainsaw. For me it was like this all yesterday evening and all day today.

I've been seeing some matrix black cat type of ######### myself..
The last time i played as Legion. Hawkins.
The last time I've played against Legion. Hawkins.
My survivor game before that? You guessed it. Versus a legion on hawkins. I literally had back to back matches as survivor against two different legions on hawkins without map offerings.
I also happened to see tru3 play as Legion on hawkins around this time on YouTube. Bizarre.

Its as if the game only loads a small number of maps per day and cycles through them. It doesnt feel like its pulling from the full map list, everyday you get a repeat of maps you’ve already played, often back to back

I noticed this a lot a few months back. Had a session where EVERY map I played on as either role (with one exception) was Pale Rose. This happened for like 6 matches in a row before I used a map offering to get a different map, and then occurred for another 4-5 matches afterwards before I took a break.
Haven't seen it quite THAT bad since then, but the matchmaker does seem fond of sticking to one map for a few games in a row (maybe it speeds up load times?). It's why a while back I'd tried to brainstorm a sort of base game realm selection/veto system that would take place right before loading everyone into a Trial; giving the players a little more input on map rotation beyond the map offerings.
Honestly though, if I got stuck only cycling through the MacMillan maps, I don't think I would be too bothered (since I think like 4/5ths of them are pretty fun for both sides).

Yeah last night me and a group of friends were playing survivor together and we got put into MacMillan estate four out of five matches. And then today I played three survivor matches and two of those matches were MacMillan estate. My two matches as Bubba took place before and after those set of survivor matches today, and they were both on Hawkins. And playing the new Bubba on an indoor map like Hawkins is a nightmare!

Having the option to vote on a map sounds good in theory, except that not all maps are created equal. Some maps clearly favor survivors more than Killers, like Ormond and all its damn pallets. The one person playing as Killer would lose the map selection every time.
I don't know if it has something to do with the update, more tinkering around with the MMR, or some hot fixes, but I'm getting stuck on the same maps that I was yesterday and it's getting really old.

Interesting. What do you play on? I play on PS4. I wonder if it has something to do with platform or the servers?

I didn't say it was a vote; the system I'd thought of was more like a Realm Veto primarily affected by the killer.
I'll link my original post on it in case anyone cares to read the full concept, but the general gist of it was that the killer would be presented with three realms which the upcoming Trial could be in after everyones' loadouts had been locked in. They would be allowed to block one of these realms. A map would be selected out of one of the remaining realms. Map Offerings would still be usable, albeit with new functionality (and working differently for survivors than they do for killer).
Basically, killers could avoid maps where they believed their powers would become nearly or completely useless (like Oni/LF on Lery's), while there would still always be a chance for any of the "survivor sided" maps to make an appearance.

Maps seem to rotate pretty well, though I've never seen Badham since starting on PS4.

Honestly, playing survivor on ps4, i think Badham might be the most common for me. I have not seen midwitch since PH's release when it was every other game. Both relieved and surprised by that.

Oh ok, sorry I read that wrong. I guess giving the killer a veto option that works like a map offering wouldn't be so bad so long as it's used fairly.

When I play killer its non-stop corn maps, Haddonfield, and Ormond. When I play survivor it's The Game, Hawkins and Saloon.

I went a couple of weeks there without seeing Midwich at all, but lately it's starting to pop back up again. But God do I hate the generator placement on that map. And is it me, or is the perk small game just utterly useless on that map? It'll constantly ding at me letting me know a totem is nearby, but I'll find nothing. But if I go to another floor, there it'll be.🤨

For me it’s always estate or shelter woods nothing else

Lol ya small game is rough there. I'm more of a detective's hunch guy, but I'll be abandoning anything aura related for the time being.

this is why i believe that theres a map/realm of the day for this game, with the amount of maps in the game it doesnt make sense for me to get any Autohaven map back to back to back

I almost always get MacMillan maps as both sides (with Groaning Storehouse being the hottest pick), as well as The Game being super common on Survivor and Badham Preschool being super common on Killer. I haven't seen the Saloon in ages now, and I only get Midwich when someone uses an offering, and I love both of those maps... 😭

There is clearly not an equal chance of each map when you remove offerings from the equation. I've noticed I get MacMillian roughly 1 out of 3 matches, more frequently as survivor. I need to start keeping stats on it, because it's not feeling very random.

I played like 10 matches a week ago. 7/10 i got the plae rose. And there weren’t any map offerings for it.

Yeah it certainly stopped feeling random for me today.😕 It gives the impression that they're locking down maps. Whether that's for maintenance or time of day is anyone's guess.
