Certain maps like popular tds and pudge wars etc would fill up quickly but unknowns could take ages.
I've been having a little think about all this, the advantage of the current sc2 system is you don't have a load of people hosting the same map all waiting for people to join when if they were all in the same game they could be playing.
Perhaps join games should only show games with lobbies, then if you create a game that already has a lobby (created in the time its taken you to check the game list or if you were to lazy to :) ) it offers you the choice to join it or start your own lobby (maybe for a private game or something).
A lot of you say in WC3 any map could get players despite the DOTA spam, but I remember you would have to wait ages in the lobby for most non DOTA maps, over 10 or 15 minutes.
At least with the current system theres a good 15ish maps you can play rather than DOTA and any semi popular map that someone decided to host if you were lucky (It seemed half the people couldn't even host on WC3 due to port issues.)
Yes its really frustrating to get new maps played but going back to WC3 is not the answer.
