Could hills have two ramps?

I feel like giving them two ramps [ EDIT: on opposite sides of the Hill ] will reduce situations where Killers corner survivors who run behind the hill by taking the ramp and getting them from the top.

Conversely, it would reduce situations where survivors are "untouchable" until the Killer goes all the way around the hill. Reducing "cocky" plays from survivors and saving Killers' time.

[ EDIT: By opposite sides I mean, if we look at hills as cubes, they have 4 sides (discounting the top and bottom sides of course). If we add a ramp to one side, and another ramp on the side opposite of the previous side, we get a wall-ramp-wall-ramp cube. Guaranteeing a ramp next to a wall no matter which side of the Hill the player is facing. ]

Just a thought.

    Hmm.. while I like the idea, I think I've got to disagree with it - if only because as a Killer, I have gotten several hits from cocky Survivors trying to lunge off the hill top and misjudging my ability to fall and lunge at the same time. XD

    The double ramp hills are kinda useless tho. See Red Forest.

    I was thinking ramps that are on opposite sides of the hill, in contrast with the Redforest hills that have the ramps adjacent to eachother and have rocks and other obstacles on them.

    If we look at Hills as Cubes, applying a ramp that goes through it will give Killer's an opening no matter what direction the Hill spawned with. Never creating a "Killer has to go all the way around to get to the survivor/hook" scenario.

    The Redforest Hills still allow for these scenarios to happen. Since the ramps are next to eachother on the (cube) Hill, there are various scenarios that happen where for example, a player is facing the front of one of the "cubes" sides. They are unsure of where the ramps are. There's a 50/50 chance that if they decide to go to one side, they will be met with another wall of the Hill, insteand of reaching the ramp.

    Having a ramp on opposite sides of the Hill/Cube, will guarantee a hill on either side that the player facing the wall of the cube decides to take.

    Those situations will still happen, adding a ramp will just give survivors more options to take. Whether to keep running around the hill, or meet the killer on top of it, or a second chance for a balanced landing play, etc.

    I don't think so - I think if there was a second ramp, Survivors would take it constantly because they are the only side that takes stun-time for falling from heights. Killers wouldn't care either way because they can walk off the Empire State Building and keep going in this game lol

    yes, but they cannot put the killer in a position of having to go around the hill to get to them, giving them free unhooks / heals, or allowing them to be cocky. Plus, your example still happens in the Red Forest Hills, since the sides of the hills that dont have ramps, have rocks or trees that usually force the players to use the ramps. Eliminating that fall stun for survivors anyway.
