2 new arenas in 9.2

Both seems small about the size of Dalaran Sewer and Black Rook Hold.
The Enigma Arena scares me, but they say you gotta harness the power of something to modify the Arena. Seems like an arena that wizards will take control over easily.
And from the screenshots, the power thing moves and the walls seems to open and close.

Harness the power of the First Ones and change the field of battle.

The mysterious Enigma Arena from Zereth Mortis was created by the Progenitors and serves as an ever-changing battlefield. A switch located at the center of the Arena can be used to create cover for yourself and your allies—or deny it from your opponents. Clever strategists will control and dictate the flow of battle; those who cannot adapt will surely be defeated.

i hope the enigma arena is just a brawl or something

arena doesn’t need any more clever strategies added to it

Honestly Another 3 pillars in the Enigma Arena would’ve been fine instead lmao

This sounds amazing!

It would be cool if maybe tornadoes or something could be created as well!!

Mugambala needs a 3rd ramp just like blade edge arena needed.

maldraxxus one looks like a little less bad version of empy domain so i guess that’s something
hoping the pillars are significantly bigger than EDs to mitigate how bad the spacing is

enigma one looks awful
i can’t wait to pre run a go or try to avoid NON PURGABLE DARK SOUL
just for some tubby hpal to horse into the middle of the map for his tubby warlock to drop all the pillars

Maldraxxus looks fine. I just know I’ll hate Rdruids going for restealth using the open staircase in los.

Enima so far looks dreadful.
The game open and it’s empty, no pillars. And it seems like there is a power you got to take in the middle of the map, what does it do? We’re not sure yet. And on the 2 screenshots, we see the glow move to one of the waiting arena room.

Feels very powerful arena for wizard cleave, like even more than Tolviron

i think it’s just a clickable button probably on a short cd that either drops or raises the pillars

i’m going to assume that the yellow lines will each be flat walls similar to hookpoints
IDEALLY there would be 3 up at all times and the button in the middle just shifts those 3 instead of the more likely scenario where it either drops all or raises all on probably a short cooldown

Finally the new ligma map!

the engima arena LOOKS really cool like something outta halo… dont know if it will FEEL good tho

Agreed, seems a bit cheesy but so is dalaran sewers dropping LoS water on a whim

enigma arena is going to be the worst arena added to the game im counting on it now. amazing because we still have mugumbala as a map.

its actual proof that blizz pays 0 attention to arenas as a whole because you can ask any one with a brain and they’d say enigma has no place in rated arena.

looks cool tho. gonna play like garbage tho.

Demo Warlocks are gonna sit on it and summon 40 imps so you can’t click it back up then one shot you.

I honestly don’t have high hope that its gonna be good. I hope they’ll just end up making regular pillars and let it be

No one that really enjoys arena wants random RNG elements or gimmicks. Just give us fair, well designed maps with designated spots for LOS. You’d think blizzard would learn their lesson over the years with this.

i’m being realistic

every time they’ve added a mechanic to arena to spice it up they end up removing it in a later patch because players don’t like it

they should save their creativity for mythic+
