I wonder if it’s possible to give the servers a list of maps, that contains duplicate entries.
Like some sort of equivalent to a SERVER_MAP_LIST.INI file.
Which would basically allow you to both influence the frequency of game modes, but also you could influence the frequency of individual maps.
Considering it would just be changing text parameters in some sort of an array, it seems like it might be the kind of thing that could be done with a hotfix. Or maybe entirely serverside.

Sometimes I wonder why things like this have to take a full season to go away… Like for big reworks and stuff, sure. But i mean… it’s map pools. Surely it can’t be that difficult to enable all maps for S3 already.
But great change nontheless

They’ve backtracked on so many things now. Phone number requirements are gone, credits are coming back, shop prices are being dropped, hero unlocks were lowered by 10 battle pass tiers, matchmaking is being changed, map pools are going away, rank reset are gone.
All that’s left to do is go back to 6v6 and get rid of push mode.
It’s almost like Overwatch 1 was the better game all along just like most of us have said.

Sweet, another good change to the game, another thing that shouldn’t have been changed in the first place.

Map Pools… You were right. We were wrong.
Thank you for removing map pools.

Personally, while I agree that we are getting some good changes recently / getting them announced, I will not praise Blizz for it too much, considering that they were pretty bad features/options/etc. in the first place.
It’s cool to have map pools gone soon! But why does it take 3 seasons to get this done.
It’s great that we have a way to earn legacy credits again soon! But this still leaves a lot to be desired and comes, again, a bit too late.

As you shouldn’t. The only reason these changes are happening is because the game isn’t performing as well as they had projected.

Too bad we have to wait, but i appreciate the fact that they are trying to comunicate, for real.

Yep. Just like they tracked back on the cosmetic bundle items not being purchasable individually at the start of the Halloween event.

I’m sure Kotick also had a little smile on his face when OW2 implemented their horrid monetization system.

Yeah, can’t control the higher powers.
Overwatch team though, has always fought for a better game. So seeing this happen, and that these changes are getting green-lit make me happy.
