yeah part of that is how probabilities work. 20% means it has a 20% chance each and every drop, not just going to really average 1 in 5, like some think. It still has about 2.5x higher probability that any other map in the queue, every time you hit drop. And tbh, I think the randomizer is poorly coded or gets in a rut, because you do get stretches of the same map, over and over again.

Their Randomizer is most predictable one i have ever dealt with....There is defintly something wrong with it. When you drop on Terrible Therma 12 times in a row (yes it happened, back when clans first dropped) either they have it out for you or their stuff just stinks.

Russ tweeted:

A couple other bits: Dec 2nd patch swamp will drop in frequency to just a little more than the other maps.

So we should get a better rotation next week

He also tweeted:
Swamp fog will also get toned down a bit as well as the cockpit glass getting toned down some.

technically.....it YOU don't see........ wouldn't that make you the one who is Blind?

Anyhow.....I find Thermal ahs it's use, as it does make spotting "distant" enemies a lot easier.... but navigation a lot harder, so I use it more when scouting, or occasionally, when in heavy combat, as Lights have a way of hiding in the shrubs if they are more that a few hundred meters away.

Agreed, thermal cuts through the fog so spotting mechs can be easier... but ya get stuck a lot more. (and heat kills my fps due to my crappy PC)

Out of 6 games tonight I had it 3 times.That's too much.I think it looks nice and stuff but I hate the stupid things you can get stuck on.Also it's seriously unbalanced too.
I'm still waiting for Arnie to come rushing towards us screaming "get to the choppa!!!!!!" .

Try 6 of 7 Mining Collective last night. Would have welcomed the bog.

I still don't see how thermal vision helps on this map. Are you guys that blind?

Ummm, yea.
I have bad red/green color vision and it's really tough to notice stationary enemy mechs in the bog. I have a similar problem in forest colony but it's not quite as bad.
