Maps like Havana, Rialto and Numbani are missing. There might be more I’m not certain. I just wanna know why.
plenty of multiplayer games remove maps from rotation, usually until the next season or something. i’m not entirely sure why but I think maybe it has something to do with server space?? or something??

There is a map pool, sadly… As if it wasn’t already bad enough that they removed content (2CP and many maps), they now decided it was a great idea not to have all the available maps during a given season…

Yeah, I also thought about that which would be pretty embarrassing for the OW team…

OW2 has map pools, so some maps won’t be available. The maps in the pool will change each season (every 9 weeks).
As for the reason, Blizzard says they want each season to feel different, and that’s one of the ways they hope to accomplish that.

That sounds like a pain in the ayss. I can’t play my favourite map because they want the game to feel different every season? What if they make bad map choices for one season? I feel like the game would stay fresh if they didn’t limit us to a handful of maps. But I guess if they don’t want to make new content they can just re-release old content ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Yeah, that’s the actual reason. They aren’t going to be releasing content fast enough for a live service game, so they have to artificially simulate novelty by taking away old content and re-releasing it later.

They also said it was so they could work on the maps that are not in rotation to improve them. As if a map is like a car and has to be taken off the road while it is worked on? Very odd.
Maybe they don’t realise we can play on 1 version of a map while the work on a new version. Anyways…

Every push map is worse
Well it’s not a high bar.
I vote to remove them too 
Although I do think that Havana with no barriers and 200hp Widow will be hell for absolutely everybody. Oh boy I cant wait!
