New sheep spawn in Arabia is so aggravating

I'm okay with open Arabia, but the way they changed the sheep spawn is nonsensical, as it makes the game far more dependent on luck. In both pro games and at my level (1200ish) it seems you have about a 50 percent chance of finding all your sheep, and a comparably good chance of finding all your sheep plus a couple of your opponent's. Thats cuz the radius in which they can spawn is now so wide that there's no way to ensure you'll find yours in a reasonable amount of time (And yes I know to explore the front first.) If you find them quickly its cus you got lucky.

I'm all for a little chance, I just don't like how luck has become a major factor at a decisive stage of the game.
