Map drop nerfed? Need a reasonable explanation

In the first 28hs of Heist league we had one person killing Sirus with Awakening level 8, that means he had map drops.

In Harvest league I had no problem getting half a dozen of maps each map I entered, from Tier 1 up to Tier 16 with the same bonus objectives...

Now in Heist, I struggle get a single drop from over 100% quantity and 30% pack size.

I stream every day and is hard for me to even play, bc I just can't a map drop. Get an usable map every 10-12 maps.

Oh it's fairly obvious like all you had to do was watch any HC SSF streamers the map drop rates were absolutely gutted

3xG tends to balance map drops with the league mechanic.

This league mechanic is dogshit for maps (and everything else), so probably isn't very well balanced.
Usually league mechanic is incoporated into the end game map somehow but this time it isn't. Enemies in Heist doesn't drop maps as far as I can tell so you don't actually progress much in maps if you decide to run Heist.

Not every single chest drops maps they are very rare now after the drop nerfs even more.

The screenshots kinda sums up my maps "returns" it's really bad.. I'm sure there will be someone saying the map drop is fine and we're trash at the game.

ssf players use every mechanic possible to get their maps

Your master missions should be very close to 0 in count, if it's not then you're kind of wasting them. Know how to manipulate alva temples to get map rooms, delve straight down to 170 and fish for cities, know who to put where in syndicate boards, check zana vendor every mission, einhar just adds mob density.

Always run prophecies. Use your scarabs that you get from your syndicate farming. Use your sextants. Use your best and most juiced maps for conqueror mob maps. Use your fragments. If your build can handle it, corrupt your maps.

You basically need to squeeze the lemon dry. I personally don't have much of a problem with map sustain even without all of this once I get to 32 watchstones. Usually the biggest problem is before I collect all the watchstones, which is when the few maps I do get are usually low tier. This is when I do the max juicing. But once you get the watchstones in place, the worst map drop is still high enough to be worth doing.

Considering you get one...because that's the point.

Oh my friends, I squeezed the lemon. Run every master mission, waste every scarab I find, use every fragment I get. Still no map drops. i've heard of "drop ban" before and I though it was non-sense, until now. My bonus progression is even better at this point than it was in Harvest. And I can't get a map. I really want a response from GGG if they do such a thing on me and wanna know why. Feel so frustrated, all my friends who started later than me doing uber elder and I can't progress unless I start buying maps.
