I guess my perspective is from a player, not a lobby maker, so fair enough. That was aimed at getting more lobbies started, rather than having multiple that are half filled, but now you mention it, it is likely to penalise those who put one map up first. 

 

Not sure restarting the lobby is that big of an issue, as some of the players might relocate to the other more filled lobby if given a reminder that there is one. 

 

Just trying to offer a different solution to limiting the number that can be put up, as this seems to be the only idea brought up so far. Something also needs to be done to remove near empty lobbies that have sat there for hours, but I guess it doesn't fit with a solution to this problem.

First come, first serve - should be a basic principle of lobbies queue. Therefore the already started lobbies should always has priority over all others. Your suggestion have obvious negative impacts on a system:

1. This will block any opportunity to run unpopular maps ever, because such lobbies usually require more time to fill up.
2. This will ruin any attempts to play with your friends or make a scrims or mixes, because such a slow filling lobbies will be always beaten by fast lobbies without requirements.

Too many open lobbies means that they fill very slowly. This evening there were 7 eu hl lobbies open at the same time and they took ages to fill. I don't see the need for more than 4-5.
