So, after a ladder game, I'm chilling and feel like playing some customs. I want to try out a 1 rax FE in TvZ and see how fast I can get some tech after that for harassment.

I join a custom game, start it, and something feels WRONG. I quit it and go back to the custom game screen.

All I want to know... all I want to know is who is playing Shattered Temple on NORMAL so much that it's more popular than Xel Naga Caverns on Faster. What the hell is going on here?!

You may not know this but, 90%+ of the community is low league players

I would guess that it's them.

Shattered Temple is arguably a more balanced map, because Zerg is favoured in XNC, and playing in normal allows you to focus more on making sure you do your build correctly and everything you want to do without worrying about playing fast if you're a bit of a newbie.

OMG! People enjoy SC2 on a setting I don't. It's just unacceptable

But really, the vast majority of custom players aren't exactly top notch or really care all that much about these things.

Wait... what?

What is your reasoning for XNC?

You don't think you're complaining to COMPLETELY the wrong set of people, do you? This is like hurling insults at Japan to tell it to those Australians.

I'm inclined to believe it's likely an accident that snowballs out of control.

Popularity rankings reset -> someone accidentally makes a game on normal -> it goes straight to the top of the list -> people keep joining it without looking (like you lol) -> it stays on top until the next reset.

Oh god, you're right. I could totally see how this could happen. All it takes is a few mistaken people at the beginning using Create Game, and then the legions of game-joiners (myself included) accidentally join these games, making them even MORE popular. It only goes downhill from there...

Though I'd never understand why ANYONE would EVER play an SC2 game on slower settings, don't make such a big deal about it. Most people who play customs are players with low skill.
