==Trivia== 
*Popular 3v3 comps at the time included RLS, Triple DPS (mainly Retribution, Subtletly and Marksmanship) and LSD2 (Affliction, Restoration and Balance).
*During Season 11 many PvE items were very powerful. Some notable items include:
**Dragonwrath, Tarecgosa's Rest (from Firelands)
**Fangs of the Father (Golad, Twilight of Aspects and Tiriosh, Nightmare of Ages)
**Cunning of the Cruel
**Rathrak, the Poisonous Mind
** Gurthalak, Voice of the Deeps
**Vial of Shadows
**Kiril, Fury of Beasts
**Vishanka, Jaws of the Earth
* With a duration of 38 weeks, the Cataclysmic season is the longest PvP season to date, tied only with Battle for Azeroth Season 4 (Season 28).
*On Cyclone, a battlegroup in EU, the rank 1 3v3 team comprised of famous arena players Raiku, Hydra and Mirlol was mysteriously disbanded days before the end of the season, with considerable debate in the community related to what may have transpired. This event is arguably the largest controversy that has ever occurred in the competitive WoW PvP community.
