What is wrong with stream of consciousness

Hi there.
At the moment, I go exclusively for 3 encounters: Blight, expedition and harvest. I set all their atlas points and deactivated all other special content. I have been doing this for quite some time and after a while you get a feeling of how often you get the not deactivated encounters, right? I estimate, that I got 3 of them in 4 maps on avarage.
Then I noticed the keystone stream of consciousness and thought: Wow, 50% raised chance, with that the encounters should come almost all the time.
But after I took it, not only did the number of encounters not rise, I'm getting them considerably less. 4-5 maps without a single one is fairly common now and that almost never happened before I had soc in.
So: Is that thing bugged???

Yeah, I know we're talking about probabilities here, not guarantees and I'm mathematician enough to know that it CAN happen... Just like when you throw a die 100 times it can happen that you get a 6 every time, but if that actually DID happen, I would assume that I was dealing with a loaded die!
I wasn't talking about 20-30 maps or so... Before I took soc I ran hundreds of maps and, as I said, even 3 maps in a row without at least one encounter almost never happened, but from the very moment I put soc in, 4-5 maps in a row without one became rather common... And I did at least 250 maps since then. Sure, that's still no evidence, but come on, it IS a bit suspicious... But from your answer I take it, that no bug of soc is known to you. Hmmm...
I actually agree with you about it being bugged.
My *totally personal observation on my own tree* is that SoC does not work properly.
Disable it and try again.

Already planed ;) I decided to give soc a chance until today, take it out tomorrow and see if I get more encounters again...
Well? Don't leave us hanging, man!
Still not sure... I tried it, but before I could run a significant number of maps the atlas was reset, and with the new atlas passive tree, the probability to get a blight or expedition is so high, that I get them almost every time, with or without soc...
