disclaimers:
-
i do not condone map pools in ow2, they’re dumb and removing content is not a good look. this is just speculation and theorizing on my part
-
maps that i think should be rotated out are based on my unbiased opinion, possibly due to other maps out of rotation this season needing to come back into rotation next season. my personal opinion on each map was not factored into my decisions
-
the baseless lighting change speculations are based on my guess that blizzard wants to roll out as many different lighting swaps for maps as the seasons roll out, hence why maps like lijiang tower aren’t returning to their original OW1 lighting
