From my point of view, Battle.net is poorly designed in terms of
community and communication features. Nearly every game with an
online lobby like this is poorly done too, from Age of Mythology to
MechAssault. The games themselves are fine (well, I don't think much
of WCIII multi-player), but the lobby areas lack thought.
