Popular:

- Pervertedness (sexy pics maps, Kerrigan has sex with Duke)
- Explosions (bounds)

Rare:

- Teams vs Teams maps (2v2, 3v3, 4v4)
- Over-complex maps
- Maps with long dls

Keep in mind I am talking about what gets people into your maps, not what makes a good map, 2 COMPLETELY different things.

I know. Some other things that help are:
-Lack of originality. Nothing new.
-Simplicity. Never anything that requires any thinking at all. Just clicking.

Its those "pleasure" maps. Personally, I know a few good maps that have sexual content. Just the pleasure maps in peticular are meant to make people horney or something. There no real way to "win".

This version is called "pleasure my girlfriend gina". I'm posting this because I think its funny how this person wants everyone on battle.net to play with his girlfriends body.

There are a lot of defence maps out there.. the ones that are popular have unique things added to them like spells and such. Others are just good because they are balanced until most of them.

I don't if my maps are popular. It doesn't so long as I, and most people with half a brain can enjoy the map. If the public B.netters with the collective IQ of the socks I'm wearing don't enjoy because they don't want to learn how to play it, screw em. blink.gif

Defense maps don't become popular because they have something new, they become popular because they're not just a modified version of another D map. Modified as in rigged, un-rigged, added units, etc, not things like Sunken D to Circle Sunken D.
What I find baffling is that I see maps that are new and original, and it turns out that I was extremely lucky just to be able to see them, they're so unpopular.
