I do stuff and thingies... Try widening and reducing the number of small nooks and crannies to correct the problem.
Quote from Blizzard Entertainment
As part of our preparation for patch 1.1.0, we wanted to quickly highlight for map creators an upcoming change to the way custom game starts will function after the patch is released.
Currently, when launching a custom game, players in the game lobby are allotted a certain amount of time, specified by you, the map's creator, to make adjustments to their team and race compositions. After this, a three-second lockdown will occur and, during this time, no adjustments to teams or races can be made. This means that if you were to select a seven-second countdown for your custom map, players would actually be required to wait for a total of ten seconds.
In patch 1.1.0, we will be amending this structure slightly so that the final three-second lockdown will be properly deducted from the creator-defined time instead of being added to it. This means that if you select a seven-second countdown for your custom map after the patch, players will only be able to adjust their races and teams for four seconds and then, at three seconds remaining, all of their selections will be locked.
As a result of this change, custom maps that you've created and published may need to be altered and then re-published if you want to keep the countdown your map currently has, post patch 1.1.0.

This is not much of a news post. Most people should adjust race//setting right before the game even goes into countdown.
None.
Blizzard *really* should have just get rid of the popularity system.
LoTu)S, Blizzard made an
entire new post to announce a fix in 1.1.0 that removed THREE SECONDS from the countdown. Yes, this was worth a sticky and PR according to them. Makes you wonder if they will ever get to real fixes.

Apparently they're scared that if they made this change without notifying the community, the community will come and rage at them for a change that affects all maps. I'm guessing that Blizzard made it a sticky just because they think mapmakers actually pay CLOSE attention to how long a countdown lasts. No one has ever complained about the 5 seconds before sc1 started, why should this be much of an issue?
None.

I'm confused. Why did you just repost the OP as if it wasn't what LoTu)S was quoting?

Failed copypaste on my part lol. Didn't notice it earlier, but that's supposed to be a quote of user excerpts from the thread. I'll fix it tomorrow when I get back to a computer.
None.
