Attempted to start a game with AI Teammates to see if the battleground would change randomly; upon quitting and remaking the game twice, the same battleground (Battlefield of Eternity) was produced three times consecutively.
This is indicative well beyond a reasonable doubt that the limited map pool bug is currently active on the PTR, by which AI Teammates games are being formed on a fixed sequence of four maps that repeat indefinitely. Furthermore, one can only progress on this four-map wheel if they complete a game on the currently-fixed battleground.
The bug has been present on the Known Issues List for several months and the massive thread to which all related complaints have been directed has continued to grow weekly, yet we have not heard anything back regarding the resolution of the issue since January 17.
As this bug has been around since at least the Hanamura rework (August of 2018, seven months ago), was active for the entire extended Toys event, and has recently demonstrated a capacity of being resolved (from the evening of March 5 through the evening of March 13, multiple accounts reported that all games were producing random maps from the entire 15-battleground pool, including on game remakes), it sure would be nice if you could resolve it once more before the event goes from the PTR to live, that we might have some variety while grinding the limited-time items.
Thanks.
