Solution to Midwich Elementary School map issues
Most Killers and Survivors are put into a detrimental state where they can't easily maneuver around the map due to there being only 2 open main staircases that are on opposite corners of the map. Killers waste a lot of time trying to go up to the second floor because it's too darn far and time consuming. Survivors also face this difficulty and end up getting lost and not finding gens.
To fix this issue, I think Midwich School should include more staircases that lead up to the second floor. Maybe a staircase situated on the North, South, East, West part of the map instead of just corners. This would allow for Killers and Survivors to flexibly move between floors without having to go the far corners of the map. Also I think there should be signs indicating staircases and rooms like in Lery's. This could help ease up on the navigation issues.
Thoughts?
EDIT: let me just clarify that while there is a ramp room and a walled off staircase, those are still difficult to access and are not "opened" like the 2 main staircases

There is a third secret staircase that you can use but you have to break 2 breakable walls. It helps a bit more, but still leaves 1 corner with no means of getting upstairs.

Actually wait, that last corner has an area in one of the rooms where you can get upstairs by a ramp made out of the rubble that collapsed from the second floor.

Theres also a ramp leading upstairs in one of the rooms but god i despise the map because of the 2 different floors.

I know, but its accessibility is under the control of the Killer. The entire trial can go on without that staircase ever being used.
Very true, but I believe some of the doors that lead to that room is walled off and needs to be destroyed by the Killer

they made a great and accurate map, I play both sides and think it is perfect you just need to memorize the place, most balanced map in my opinion

Maybe this forum post by @Ivaldi with help with navigation.

This, i would prefer they made certain signs that lead you the way to the stairs.
This map is really confusing and like a maze😂

In linear maps, if you want to get to a gen, you get to a gen, nothing stops you. Survivors can run off but the gen is there.
In 2 story maps, the map is literally against YOU, the killer. Want to get to that gen? Find stairs.
Yes memorize the map to get there sooner, but you have to admit, it hinders the killer's ability to get to the gen and that makes it unbalanced.

Getting between floor is not only the problem.
You basically CANNOT navigate by sounds on this map. You have to guess on which floor they are, and even if you did, some rooms have very obscure entrance placement and you literally need to walk around to get there.
This map is disgusting gameplay-wise. They took the worst of lery's and gideon gameplay issues and combined them into one map.
