Elite mobs spawning next to each other?

Well I didn't had the "chance" to experience that until yesterday (after patch) when it occured twice or thrice in the same game.
Weird.

Interesting theory - it would also explain why you never see 2 sets of blues spawning in the same area. Seems like it might be > 4% chance for the adjacent spawning though. Maybe 30% spawn chance leading to 9% adjacent spawning?

I have seen double spawns of blues within a screen of each other many times. The game is rather predictable with elites. Each map has a set range of elites. Some areas have guaranteed elites, some areas have high chance for elites, and some areas have low chances for elites. Some areas can't spawn elites. When I do a run I know where at least half of the elites and rarely surprised by a location for elites. Some areas that can create spawns tend to be close together such as in Vault of the Assassin.

I was in act2 a few days ago. It went like...

Elite pack.
Walk a screen.
Elite pack.
Walk a screen.
Elite pack.
Walk a screen.
Elite pack.

All in that dried out area. I'm kind of surprised they didn't attack at once. I'm more surprised they didn't spawn and start spamming insane affixes everywhere.

It's been like this since the beta. They really need to change that.

And spawning right on top of waypoints and checkpoints.

What, why? Its exactly like you want it to be, less time searching for them. Instant action and +1 Valor right of the bat

It made my life in hell...well, hell, for my wd and dh. It's monotonous.
And it sucks when you play a barb with two 2-minute cooldowns and get a pack like two seconds later, if not spawned on top of each other.
Or when you initially load the game, and the game is slowly streaming in all the data, game runs sluggish, and BOOM elite pack the second the game loads right on top of you. 5k~ gold directly down the drain for no reason at all.
