no terrain because its a lobby,how am i supposed to terrain it?
You could re-create the default TFT lobby? :p Just a little work with images, nothing hard. And it makes it look legit.

Anyhow, even though I did enjoy it partially, I don't think it's suitable to be here.
The idea seemed good, the Dotard, the troll, the newb and the spammer (95% of Warcraft nowadays?) combined into a single chatroom.
But, you know, too much penises, faggots and such...
And after a few minutes, it gets pretty boring. You repeat a scene twice, not much happens, and the new Warcraft community makes me want to cry, not laugh.

Also, why did you convert some of the triggers to custom text?
 
Time to review this map. :3
Testing...

Review:

Terrain:
Some kind of a lobby texture image could have been used, but not important.
Comedy:
The cinematic is fairly funny, it's very classic and fits the warcraft chats perfectly. Although some jokes have been overused, the 2 song transitions for example, but the different characters keep their attitude throughout the cinematic, they're all unique and funny. You've brought a lot of different characters together, which lead to a massive troll-fest.
Quality/Polishing:
You have all of the messages correctly colored, no mistakes. Although sudden ending, at least show the credits. (songs used, map creator, ...)
Overall:
It's a nice idea, you've executed it well, not extremely well, but some of the issues can be fixed, for example add the lobby texture image as a background and add a credits ending. The cinematic would've been more hilarious if it had continued a little bit more, but the length was fine.
Rating: 3/5
Why:
*Sudden ending (-1)
*Some overused jokes (-0.5)
*A bit short (-0.5)

If you don't want to read my feedback:
  • Add a credits ending (songs used, map creator, help from other users, ...)
  • Extend the cinematic a little
  • More jokes at one time

Keep up the good work.

@Vengeancekael Hey,thanks for the description,looks really nice and it helps improve the look of the map! I was going to increase the cinematic's length but decided not to due to this being a one day side project to take a break from my main project.Thanks for the review,I am actually surprised to get an approved score,it gets my hopes up to keep learning as much as I can (struggle with MUI :C ).Anyways,thanks again.
