Overwatch 2 is getting rid of Map Pools, but maybe not forever.

"You were right. We were wrong. Map Pools are going away starting in season 4," said Aaron Keller, Game Director of Overwatch 2.

Keller also noted that OW2 doesn’t have enough maps currently to justify using map pools. However, he did note that the concept may return in the future once there are more maps released. “If we were to bring them back, they would probably rotate at a faster rate, potentially every week,” said Keller.
