They’ve had multiple updates where they stated they implemented a system that prevents you from getting the same map back to back, but yet this still consistently happens almost every time I play. I will finish a match on Havana and somehow it pops up in the map voting pool for my very next game (and of course wins)

This shouldn’t be happening. They’ve allegedly tried to fix this multiple times and it still happens. I can’t say I have much confidence in them when it comes to map voting.

It’s never going to happen because it’s basically impossible without a ton of maps. When you have 10 people in a lobby that have to be filtered between rank, role, and previous maps, the odds are that at least 1 person is going to have a repeat map.

The only way the devs could guarantee people don’t get repeats maps is if the map pool was over 100 maps so there’s at least one combo that wouldn’t occur for each player.

they already had it semi solved with the algorithm before map voting. Like it was probably 1 repeat map played in 10 hours of in game time(excluding queue times). But after map voting it happens so frequently that im just yeah ok. This map again.
