What Warcraft Map Genre Annoys you most?

[Joe-black-5]

guys stay on topic "what warcraft map genre annoys you most"
or this will get closed
this is not another dota ranting thread.

 

[Vengeancekael]

If more people just made awesome single player maps like RDZ does, I would never have to look at DotA again.

I dislike Melee/LOAPs the most.
OT: HI, VIKUS.

i'm making one
but on topic, i also hate tower defenses, no fun

 

[Kuhneghetz]

Melee
I never manage to defeat any opponent in these maps. They always build up faster than me, even when I try to build up as quick as I can.
For me, that's so fucking cheap.

LOAP
It's as fun as playing with rocks. And it doesn't get any better when people make over 9000 versions, whether if it has hacks or different themes.
The only potential LOAP map I've played is "Real Life [for Morons]" made by MoronSonOfBoron and Harken_Dell.

Run Kitty Run/Slide Ninja Slide
Yay, you run/slide through a spiraled path, dodging enemies while listening to a shitty copyrighted song.
Action 52 is more entertaining than these pile of vomit maps.

Any Anime-themed maps
I've yet to see an anime map that doesn't beg for an apocalypse.
Anime maps usually include flaws like terrible programming, uncreative concepts, primitive terrains and/or custom resources that are either extremely poorly made (models that lacks shading and proper definition on the textures, models that have animations that make the characters act like stupid idiots, icons that are cnp from screencapped cartoons) or stolen/ripped from a commercial game.



Oh, and in case some people don't know, Vampirism maps belong to the Tag cathegory along with Sheep Tag, Tree Tag and Kodo Tag.

 

[Joe-black-5]

Oh hohohoho!
Forgot all about those Shitty WC4! maps
I hate those more

Why dude they rock, when is see green icon (no DISBTN, you know what I mean), and such a cool models (with 3 animations: walk, attack, death) I think: omg this is so awesome, lets quit game and delete map ^^

 

[Axarion]

I think the worst theme are TDs and Anime maps. And anime maps wouldn't be bad if they had quality but i never saw a good anime map, because most mappers who do anime maps are just retarded. And I don't think DotA itself sucks its only the community which sucks so I prefer palying against the dota ai

 

[PurplePoot]

DvO, you're within your rights to hate games you're bad at, but being bad at them doesn't make them cheap.

 

[sadvisor]

LOAP, OPRG, AOS, TD, ANIME maps. I really hate them.

More than that, I hate awful-quality popular maps (like Run Kitty Run, Cat v Mice, etc) but the question is "what genre", so...whatever.

 

[WherewolfTherewolf]

LOAP, OPRG, AOS, TD, ANIME maps. I really hate them.

Soooo, what type of maps do you like? AoS, Rpg and TD maps constitute the majority of all Wc3 maps

 

[sadvisor]

Mini-Games, Survival, and classic (tft) maps.

 

[Darkness-4ever]

I like Supreme Commander and NOTD Aftermath on wc3, there's so many paths you can choose to win at both in, though these maps have a bit of a high learning curve, makes getting new people to play difficult.

 

[Miss_Foxy]

I hate maps that trick you into watching a Rick-Roll

 

[Tleno]

I hate maps that trick you into watching a Rick-Roll

Thereare actually some of those?

 

[WherewolfTherewolf]

Thereare actually some of those?

Yeah, the guy who made them was on the old Clan Forum I used to be on (before the owner wasn't able to renew the domain). There is a way out of it, windowing did work for me when I tested it though I think he said he countered it. Did he ever implement the whole riddle thing?

 

[Brombie]

I honestly disregard every map that the creator proclaim itself to have a so-called WarCraft genre. Its quite common to read below the title "Just another AoS..." and then the magic dies.
I'm rather fascinated by maps which has a large variety of styles and gameplay. Originality is everything. If I'd mention one genre, then it would be the ORPG's. I'm fine with simple classic RPG's, but the O frightens me..

 

[Aeroblyctos]

I hate AoS type of games.

 

[MortAr]

Sorry, I don't play Warcraft anymore.

But back in the time I did play, I mostly hated all kind of ANIME maps.

 

[DeftheLynn]

DotA needs skills !
not like another "mini-games" that you can win even you're played it only once.

but i think, DotA seems a bit too dominated the Bnet though ....
Why don't you host another genre on Bnet if you don't like DotA ?

 

[The_wand_mirror]

RPGs annoy me. Especially because people can't seem to comprehend the concept of one being singleplayer.

I would like AoSes if people didn't play them so hardcore and they weren't all so balanced that they weren't any fun anymore.

TDs tend to be quite dull and then you lose in one round because you bought the wrong tower in the beginning.

But above all, I hate hate hate melee.

lol, if an RPG is singleplayer it will miss a lot of audience. Plus the experience of multiplayer is almost not comprehandable with singleplayer unless there is something which really makes it worth your while.

And hating melee is like hating the actual game itself XD

Well i guess i dislike LOAP, they feel so pointless.

AoS, mostly the people that play it are annoying but you're also forced to fight other players and there's no other way to win (I'm just not that kind off guy okay!!??).

World War and other bad attempts at making an aletered melee, Seriously... wtf is this shit??? It's not even fun and will never be as deep as a melee game unless someone with brains will make it.

Weird maps, those strange combinations or things that would like be some different genre than what they actually are but fail to disguise it with some random content and features put into that. Also to cover this up they add alot of extra's etc. which you don't actually NEED AT ALL!!!

So that's it.

 

[Narrat0r]

I was pissed off when I saw Frozen Throne icon named "DotA" at a LAN caffe. I just wanted to shout out loud: "WHAT THE FUCK PEOPLE?!"
I hate AoS's, except Megalith (one of the best maps I have ever played, third person and open world). I also dislike Footman maps.

 

[VeljkoM]

I dislike most (not all) AoS and actually most hero based maps. I kinda used to enjoy the "army" part of RTS games.

But in the end it isn't the genre type maps I dislike. It is poorly made which are well great in numbers.

 

[LordDz]

Is it only me, or does people hate all maps that they are bad at?
:>

 

[WarcraftWillLive]

I pretty much don't hate any kind of Map Genre, I'd love to play Warcraft III's games a lot regardless of what it is!

 

[Miss_Foxy]

I kind of dislike something other than fake Rick-Rolls, people tricking you to watch erm... Porn in the map image...

 

[SilverLeaf]

dota

 

[Cihparg]

Actually, I am a ex-dota-pro, who played for about 2 years professional dota, and i just got pissed by the attitude of the other pros, so I decided to go a different way.

^ This.

 

[Anthony Alexander]

I love the universe.

 

[En_Fuego]

^ This.

For some reason, I highly doubt redscores claim. I have not once seen or heard mention of him on gosugamers.net, not have I seen him registered for any tournaments.

 

[-Kobas-]

Omg just delete one of them then!
Edit: -> Delete!

Dude, for the longest time, deleting posts in Off-Topic wasn't an option. My bad, wasn't there for the swap.

No need to "omg!" on me. Jesus fucking christ.

And yes,

Omg just delete one of them then!

has pissed me off that much.

 

[-Kobas-]

lol why, it was joke, you are with THW far longer than me
Grrrr don't be mad at me...

 

[SilverLeaf]

Only thing that annoys me more than dota are dota clones with crappy balance, crappier terrain and even crappier heroes. Not AOS will be considered dota clones but seriously no one (as of yet) has the resources to make a better DotA. They do a very very good job of making their crappy piece of s*** look good and people don't really enjoy it, but as it is the 'in' thing to do, they just like to show off how good a dota player they are. Gameplay is boring, and people just play the same hero, the same strat over and over again. Seriously, it is THAT horrible. But there arn't many other maps these days... gone are the days when we click custom game and can see 100 different maps. Now we have like 10. The vast majority are Dota, and then a few crappy altered melees (HEY WE GOT CUSTOM UNITS!!! COME!!! kinda s***), and some crappy RPGs that look horrible, none of the good rpgs. We have stuff like CoT rpg which doesn't even have a decent terrain.
