Thoughts on New Maps?
As somebody who plays killer and survivor a fairly equal amount I have just a few issues with the map reworks. It is obvious that the Ormond rework has been long overdue. The sheer size, amount of pallets, amount of jungle gyms, and the insane indoor loop on the main building was an absolutely nightmare for killers. Whenever I played huntress and got this map I swear to you a tear would roll down my eye knowing I was about to get absolutely dogged on. My main concern now is why is it just SO barren. I mean the entire west side of the main building is literally just an open plot of snow with a glitchy rock on it. Even tapping into my killer mindset I think that it is absolutely nuts. Not even that snow plow asset on the south of the building could be utilized there?
I know some killers may be excited by the size of that dead zone but it is actually a bit absurd just to stare at a map and there's not even some of the ski rack assets or literally anything. I would borderline consider this just lazy map design in general, because there isn't even anything there visually. God forbid you get a huntress or plague and find yourself anywhere on the entire west side of the map. I understand that old Ormond was awful for killers, and I agree it needed to be smaller and lack some safe pallets and jungle gyms but it just seems like overkill, especially for newer survivors who don't even have a place to try and hide or loop.
Autohaven has also been reworked with an insane amount of deadzones on many corners and the outside of the map. The fact that the killer can stand on top of a hill and see almost every gen and nearly any survivor that isn't trying to play stealthy is insanity to me. Playing the new maps as killer, especially as a nurse main, feels like easy mode. I even played bubba who i'm not very good with and survivors really did not have anywhere to run, I almost felt bad.
I was just wondering what everyone else thought about the map reworks. I understand Ormond especially needed a rework, but autohaven was always a map I thought was pretty fair as killer but that could just be me.
