The last 7 games for my Orc team, in order:
Mighty Thud/Ogre
Black Boxing Beat/Ogre
[B]lackrock Orcs/Orc
Blind Basher/Ogre
Blind Basher/Ogre
[B]lackrock Orcs/Orc
[B]rutes/Ogre

Are you seeing a pattern here? The back-to-back games were particularly annoying. It would sure be nice if the scheduler looked at the last 5 games and tried to find different racial matchups.

For that, there would have to be different races where to choose from. Look at your own teams if you don't know what I'm talking about (no offence, it's just the way it is at the moment).

Yep, bear in mind that your opponents games looked like this:

Orcs
Orcs
Chaos Dwarfs
Orcs
Orcs
Orcs
Orcs
Orcs

... now thats all fine but the scheduler is going to have problems scheduling variatey out of that. I know you can only make a very small difference but this isnt something which can be resolved by the formula.

You're part of the problem.

Play a diversity of races, and you will have less repetition.

You have CD & Orcs.. hardly diverse.

You have no room to complain.

Make about 5 teams with some ballers & middle teams, then I might feel sorry for you.

I have elves & chaos that play mostly orc & khemri, with dorfs as 3rd.

The problem is that he'll get exactly the same set of races whatever he is using. Still, the only way to improve the diversity as a whole (right at the moment) is to do it yourself.

Hehe, I made an amazon team for Blackbox (of course) and I have been shocked to have been pitched versus Wood Elfs, Dark Elfs and then Wood Elfs again... Same problem, different s**t.

Well, I for my own sake started a HE team to help out with the diversity. But after catching several remarks over the months on the channel that ppl was looking forward to mush the team completely into pulp, and the whole intend of many games seemed like that. I gave em up:(.
I would say that meeting dorfs ver and over again , could have something to do with it. But then again, they just have to mush to prevail.

60 games and haven't played dorfs once.

I agree that the original poster is a hypocrite though.

The scheduler seems to be quite intelligent to match Orcs only vs Ogre and Orcs Razz With other races it doesn't seem too much of a problem at the moment:
Last 9 games with my Undead: vs (in reverse order)
Khemri

Skaven
Undead
Chaos Dwarf

meaning, you haven't coached dorfs, or you haven't played against dorfs?

Dude, orcs are one of the most diverse rosters around. They have stunty, regular, and Big Guy players, with wide ranging ST and AG values. Is it too much to ask for that diversity to be reciprocated? Laughing

My Norse have played pretty diverse games.
