Are all of you devs for Nexus Wars or something? I'm just amazed that this forum is full of mapmakers, why would you care to be a mapmaker, its not like there's a small chance in hell your map will survive more than half a week in the "new maps" section in the popularity system. And that's if you're lucky. A REAL mapmaking community forum would be full of complaints about bnet 2.0....
Why is no one talking about this, especially here! In WC3 they were 7mb per map.
Now they are 10mb per map, 20mb TOTAL (for all your maps), with a 5 map limit. What is this 1998!? nearly all ambitious projects are made impossible by this, unless you decide to make your map "premium"... Maybe there will be a microtransaction system to increase your map size? Because right now...
This is shooting all serious mapmakers in the foot AND groin... Maybe worst of all is the popularity system, making new maps impossible to find, rewarding people who made the first maps. Newer maps won't ever gain traction, and thus less people will be motivated to make new maps, etc. etc.

I read somewhere it would cost $79.99 to increase your map size, maybe on team liquid. K I'll edit it out I guess.
