Roles don't seem to be random enough anymore

[CaptainHavoc]

I used to get different roles almost every game, but today I've had 3 doctor roles and 2 escort roles and nothing else. Anyone else getting the same role over and over?

That depends on the settings entirely. Most games include a solid Doctor and a solid Sheriff(/)+Investigator, and the chances you can get whatever role spawns is about the equal for everyone else. It does hold a preference over roles you have not won with, or roles you've won the least with, but that doesn't mean you still won't get the same role over and over. I was spy 8 times in a row before, anything can happen when random is in play.

O_o

Thats just... wow.

[Dark.Revenant]

There is no weighting, actually. It is all 100% random.

[McKinley]

Oh, that got changed? Could have sworn I saw something in the patch notes mentioning something once upon a time. . . Oh well, 100% random is more enjoyable.

Next thing I know, spy spree again!

That's really weird then... 3 Docs in a row, then 2 Escorts. Then a Mason Leader, which was weird, because there were no other Masons and no citizens. I wish that could be disabled from randoms.

Must have been cultists around, you can smash those guys with a hammer if your Mason Leader. Try it out, its messy and fun for the whole family!

Try this:
Predict the role you will get. No cheating though, escort is not the same as consort for example and you won't get "half points" for it!

You will be right less then 1/5 over the course of 100 games. It depends on the setup and your actual guess though: If you guess to be citizen when there are 2 citizens in the setup + 2 basic towns + 3 random towns then you obviously have a much better chance of becoming one then when you say you will be arsonist when there is only 1 random neutral in the game.

I had SK about 50 times in a row - I think that can't be random...

no, you are a serial killer IRL and it picks up on that. Watch your door.

[Spy]

SHUT THE FRONT DOOR!

[Cyber_Cheese]

I've only ever played as sheriff.
In the hundreds of games I've played I've never got any other role.
