Why are the game categories inconsistent? I get having different categories for different patches, but some are tiny maps and some are small. It's very inconsistent and off-putting. Like the rule-sets seem extremely arbitrary. The 2.0.4 rule-set specifies 6 AI empires and a lot of additional rules, whereas the 1.8 rule-set has less and no additional empires.
I recently ran a team Roshan Kill run, and we killed Rosh 40 Seconds before Creeps spawned. Currently there is no way to notate runs with negative in game time, as putting our in game as 40 seconds would imply that the run took a minute longer than it did. Currently my only option is to leave in game time blank which doesn't seem like a great solution since in game time is what seems to have priority, so our run would be ranked lower than the run which took 3 more minutes than ours.
Since the Class% runs are getting more and more competitive, I was wondering if we could consider cutting out load times between maps. I'm not sure how it would work logistically, but it might help times be more consistent between runners.
It's recently come to my attention that several characters have misspelled names. Would it be possible for someone to go through and verify that they are all spelt correctly? If not I can. I'd just need to be made a low level mod.
Is having the specifications for map rotations in the % runs necessary? For example many competitive runs use Blackheart bay with isn't allowed in the rules currently, but was when the Runs were completed. This makes it a bit confusing since it's not obvious whether those maps are legal or not. If certain maps are banned for whatever reason that seems reasonable, but currently having the legal maps based on seasonal rotation seems over-complicated and unnecessary.
Hey guys! I've been active on the site for a few weeks, but this is my first delve into the forums so I figured I'd make a post. My name is Yûe and I enjoy speedrunning a wide range of games and genres. I currently hold the Any% WR for Pyre, Endless Legend, Supreme Commander 2, and several categories of Heroes of the Storm. I'm currently practicing a run of Dark Souls 1, and pathing a 3 player co-op run of Borderlands The Pre-Sequel. I have an active Youtube Channel where I upload Speedrun themed content for different games every other day. (Once I have a library of enough content I intend to upload daily) So if any of that sounds appealing I'd highly suggest checking out my channel! I'm sure I'll interact with many of you as I learn different games.

EDIT: If anyone is interested in running a very unbreakable RTS or a chill 4X game based on a lot of RNG Hit me up. I have lots of notes for Supcom2 and Endless Legend. (The Supcom2 Xbox run is actually insanely broken and fun but I have no way to record It so i've been stuck with the much better patched PC version.) Either way i'd love to see the communities for these games grow as they're a lot of fun. Thanks everyone!
