Not getting reaper

[connor34911]

I haven't gotten reaper first or second in a really long time. Probably about 3-4 days and quite a few games. I've been playing a ton lately so I'm actually afraid to say how many that is.

Anyone else?

I got to play on it yesterday once, but yeah it seems to be quire rare lately. Same with Thorn Gulley, too.

But now I get these two maps a lot. And just a recent loss to Adorable on Reaper

What I get rarely recently is Peekaboo and Glitch.

I've gotten thorn gully, just no reaper. Weird

If it was truly random, the more matches you start won't increase the probability of receiving a map, despite expecting to get that map. Also, if the queue is already loaded, then those maps may be biased according to P1's tastes.

According to p1 taste? How so?

They can load the queue with what maps they wish, forfeiting any which they don't like (seeing as no one else has joined and they don't receive a penalty).

The system allows p1 to forfeit a game at no cost if your the only one in game. Effectively allowing him to only accept the maps he likes. Possibly all adorables on reaper.

You might have some questions about this system. I've made a detailed FAQ below.

Q: Isn't this a bad system if P1 can just choose his map?
A: Yes.

[Phyresis]

The system should just have a flat loss in points for every time they surrender a game that hasnt started yet.
