The map pools are for Rated Arena and Arena Skirmishes at this time, not Solo Shuffle.

I’ve updated the original post with this information. Thanks for asking Mhortai.

Such an awful change announced less than 24 hours before the season starts…

Dragonflight was looking amazing for PvP and now you’ve created new problems that never existed for NO REASON

Who does this benefit?

This is a terrible idea. Some classes benefit from certain maps more than others… and by splitting them up during certain weeks you’re now alienating certain classes by making them want to queue or not queue during a specific week, it just doesn’t make sense to divide the maps up at all. Now when people lose they will blame your map selection system. You need to keep all maps available and keep it random so people do not blame your system for wins and losses on certain weeks or better yet blame your decision for why they are not getting into LFG groups on any given week. Weekly map pools are a bad idea just like how weekly affixes are bad in m+. Just make them all available and completely random and then no one to blame, no one is advantaged over another on any given week it’s all just random… please don’t create problems that never existed before.

Map variety is good. Arena is inherently dynamic, unlike scripted PvE content… this change will only be frustrating by reducing variety and encouraging high-rated players to push on advantageous weeks.

This is a terrible change that no serious competitive player asked for. It seems to emulate the overwatch team’s insistence that players want this when it’s never been actively discussed by the community. All this will do is make negativity bias more prevalent. Players won’t see their favorite map more frequently even if they queue into it more frequently, they’ll remember the week they got to push rating but 10/20 games were on mugambala so they had to play more bad games as a result.
