Today I played 6 Team Arena matches. Of those, 83% were Slayer. I have 5 Slayer matches and 1 Capture the Flag.
Even over the last few weeks, Slayer seems to be getting selected at least 50-60% of the time. There’s already a Team Slayer playlist. Team Arena has historically been focused on objective game types. If I wanted to play Slayer, I’d jump into the Slayer playlist.
I understand mixing some slayer into Team Area, but it should be closer to 10-15%, not 80%.

Team Arena shouldn’t even be a playlist,it should just be team slayer and team objective respectfully
they added more slayer into team arena for whatever reason

I second this ^
Even though Objective games haven’t been as popular as slayer variants, 343 can’t ignore the numerous outcries for more OBJ style playlists. A Team Objective playlist would be the correct answer to everything.
Team arena is the HCS playlist. Funny seeing how it’s “historically an objective playlist” when it wasn’t. Previous games had actual objective playlists. 343 just need to do the same and people need to stop -Yoinking!- about TA when it’s not for them to begin with.
It was good balance when breakout was in the rotation but as it got removed due to dislike from pro n community…!
Assault was tryed out few times but it, too was dropped from arena and not even being placed in the pro circuit league.

I meant “historically” in the sense of Halo 5. I’ve been playing since launch, and through the various seasons, the playlist has been predominately a team objective playlist.

If they want to use Team Arena as the Pro playlist, that’s fine, but give us a ranked Team Objective for the non-Pro players.

It’s in the works. Just no estimated release yet.

Yes it’s always had objective games but regardless it was still determined as the HCS playlist from the get go. Notice how certain maps/gamemodes that aren’t being played by the pros aren’t in the playlist as well? It’s not made specifically for the casual audience. 343 need to make more playlists to suite that need as you said above ^^
fyi: historically was really a bad word to use cuz h5 isn’t an old game nor has it followed tradition. What would be “historically” correct is halo having oddball, king of the hill, ect ect.
Wish I had that problem, seems like every match I played was CTF on Truth. Like every game for real.
