Kill Switch update: We have temporarily Kill Switched the Forgotten Ruins Map due to an issue that causes players to become stuck in place. The Map will remain out of rotation until this is resolved.

Killers' POV :

  • The map is far too big to put pressure and control the generators.
  • If you want to get to a gen that is upstairs, you need to go through 8 different rooms before you get there and at that point the gen would probably be at %15.
  • There are walls that you MUST break or you literally cannot catch a survivor.
  • There are walls that you MUST break or you cannot hook a survivor.
  • If you are a low mobility killer or a killer who doesn't have a ranged attack or a killer who can't slow down survivors, you can't catch survivors if they get to a good window.
  • Even tho most of the pallets are unsafe, there is the 2 god pallets in the Courtyard.
  • Unless you find all 4 survivors in the same spot, you cannot guarantee if the other survivors are on another generator in the same floor as you, or they are doing a generator on the other floor.
  • The map is just not fun against good survivors since they can find the god windows.

Survivors' POV :

  • If you don't start near a generator, finding one takes a long time.
  • Every pallet (except the Courtyard pallets) is unsafe.
  • There are positions in which you need the killer to break the walls or you can't escape.
  • Even tho there are really good windows, some windows are extremely unsafe.
  • The map is just not fun against a tunneling killer since most pallets are unsafe and unless you get some good windows, you are dead.
  • If the killer decides to just focus on you because s/he needs an early down, you will run him for 5 gens and at the end, he will catch you and probably camp you.

So, this is basically it. The map sucks for these reasons. Maybe after we get to learn the map more we will like it..? I really don't know. I don't think I will ever like this map. It's just not fun.
