realm repeat prevention is terrible and makes the game worse

Realm repeat was enabled in 8.5.0 and was meant to replace the former map repeat system.

The problem? now realms with 1 or 2 maps in them are just ridiculously more common now. Its like you get 1 good match on macmillan then immediately its always followed by a swamp or nostromo.

Noone is complaining if they get macmillan → macmillan → autohaven → autohaven

but when its constantly Macmillan → lerys → swamp → nostromo → swamp again - macmillan - lerys then THATS when it becomes frustrating.

Realm repeat prevention is pointless. the maps are completely different. realm repeat prevention on every match severely reduces map quality.

    You are very unlikely to get the same realm when only one map was between it usually takes about three matches before the realm usually repeats without offerings. My own match history does not really even support your statement as swamp for me was 13 matches between before repeat, Coldwind Farm four between, Autohaven seven, Ormond five, The Decimated Borgo seven and those were all that repeated in 17 matches. Older ones were 2v8 matches so they don't count in this.

    I see people claiming them getting certain maps more is more observation bias as you will remember the maps you hate more than the maps you like.

    Also I would complain if I would get the same realm all the time that would be boring to me, but that does not even happen with the current system. So that would be your one that you claim nobody would complain about. I have no interest to play autohaven and macmillian all the time.
