Hi everyone,
Since the issue is being ignored in the dedicated section, I'm posting it here.

In short, the problem is that during BG PvP event weekends, maps designed for 4v4 mode start showing up in 8v8 mode. Outside of the event, everything works fine — these maps don’t appear in 8v8.

Just take a look at these screenshots: you can shoot into the spawn from the central bridge, and AoE abilities can be thrown directly onto the spawn area. The map design simply gives no chance if your team is even slightly weaker. As you can probably imagine, being stuck on that spawn point is incredibly fun. And believe me, even if you’re on the stronger team, there’s zero enjoyment in just farming defenseless players.

Why this issue has been in the game for so long is a complete mystery to me.
