Starcraft 2 will not load any custom maps

Hello all, i just recently got a new Macbook Pro laptop, because my old one was having a lot of issues, and I installed WOW, and SC2 on the new one in order to play them, but I cannot play SC2 because I want to play custom games for practice, and it will not finish loading any of the custom maps…
It will not load the Open Lobbies / Arcade / Melee maps at all. It just sits there with those stupid little blue wheels spinning forever, but never finishes loading maps. Is this normal, because on my older, slower laptop, it would work eventually, albeit slow, but not like this. I have been sitting here for almost an hour now, and none of the maps will even start to load.
Is that just that, and I am not allowed to ever play custom maps on my new computer, or is there some thing causing this?? Please clear this up for me, and Thanks in advance!!


This is happening again now, since the latest patch, and I have not seen anything that even resembles a response since I posted this problem back in April…
Can someone PLEASE explain this to me??
I am currently trying to repair the game in the desktop app., and will cross my fingers that this helps, but I came here hoping for some assistance, which seems to have been wishful thinking!!

NOPE, didn’t help at all…
What is wrong with Blizzard’s games / servers, that you cannot even play the games you paid for??
Is this just ANOTHER in the seemingly endless ocean of bugs, or is there some other option to fix this issue??
Somebody, ANYBODY give me some advice!!

Alright, I give up I suppose…
This forum is a joke, and nobody ever responds to any questions whatsoever.
SHOCK & AWE Blizzard tried to update Starcraft 2 again today, and of course, now the maps will not load.
If you put in a Ticket, they basically just tell you oh well, deal with it, so I have tried this forum to get some help, but that seems to have been a waste of time completely, as I posted this question back in April, and have not had a single response.
Why does this so called ‘forum’ even exist if nobody ever replies to anything??

Not sure if this helps, but for my windows fresh install of sc2 it takes several minutes to load all the custom maps the first time. SC2 has a horrible way of sending the map info, data, icon, etc

I had such issues after 5.0 and 5.0.2 updates. Router rebooting helped me.
