1. Remove popularity sorting.
2. Add Sort by number of players waiting in each map.
3. Give way to add maps to favorite so favorite maps can be seen in 2nd separated maps list or on the top of normal map list (if you think this will be better).
Simple and I think this will work. If player want to play for example "Unknown map" he find the map (probably few pages down) and then he enter a chat room inside this map. The map will be then above the not played maps. Each new player join the map will increase a map place on the list.
The problem with current custom maps is not that they are far far in 1000 of other maps. The problem is that if I find a map and join it, there is 0% chance that someone in the short time (eg. 5 mins) join it also. So I'm alone who want to play in the moment.
If you sort maps by number of players inside waiting at the moment, players will be able to see maps, people want to play or they can choose their own from those not picked at the moment.
