In addition to the fact that they haven't actually stated anywhere that they are adding new maps, this makes me a little unsure about it. If anyone has seen them actually say they will, I'd be very interested in seeing that. I'm sure they'll put the PTR up somewhat soon as I'm sure there will be a patch to go along with the new season. If they don't change maps then changing the season seems pretty pointless to me. | ||

One interesting cause for this might actually be the ladder lock. First right before the lock people who suspect they might be in risk to be demoted to lower leagues stop playing and wait for the lock. After the lock is in effect it's hard to get more ladder points for people who play with 50% winrate, have already spent their bonus pool and gain & lose equal amount of points when winning & losing. The latter group also becomes less active as generally only way to get more points is to improve their short term win-ratio or improve their MMR during the lock period (one can refer to Excalibur_Z's guide for how the point system relates with MMR). One could hypotize that in future 2 month-long seasons people will be active especially during the first month, but their activity drops during the second month. | ||

Personally I am very worried about possible map pool changes as Blizzard has been completely silent regarding them. I hope that they have not abandoned their earlier intent to make changes to the map pool at start of each season. (edit: fixed some spelling) | ||
