Yamaoka Estate is very survivor sided

So much clutter, makes tracking extremely difficult compared to other maps, without taking away any of the advantages the other maps have.

    Yeah but doesnt it make up for that by not having any real infinites like iron works etc... I've also heard that theres not many pallets on the map.. I've yet to play it this is just what I've heard...... maybe my friends just haven't found the loops yet

    Oh the map has no exploitable "infinite spot" (aka long loop), so we make it terrible for killer to "make up for it".
    Are you even serious??

    This is actually a request that I've heard a lot of players requesting... less looping more stealth play....  and let's be honest theres always going to be players thatll complain about anything... I can understand complaints about bloodlodge, poor rng on lerys etc... but the devs heard a request to reduce looping and add more opportunities for stealth this is what they did from I what I've seen 
    I don’t like the way this map’s layout is but if it encourages stealth, I’m all for it. Killers don’t like loops or infinites...well, you have to give survivors something in return. As much as I know killers want it, there can’t be maps where survivors can only run in straight lines to avoid them lol

    I don't feel this map is particularly one sided for either killer or survivor. Pretty balanced map really.

    I'll admit, at first I really didn't like this map, but I think with the proper perks it'll be fine. The big downside is you don't know which map you'll get, so in order to do well on it you either need to burn an offering to get this map while you've got a detection appropriate loadout, or you equip a loadout that is sub optimal for other maps just in case you get this.

    Its difficult. Maybe I should play more survivor so I can see both sides, I mostly only play killer.

    Complains about looping, infinites, too many pallets, gets what he wanted still complains about it. Well guess what you'd better get used to it if you want looping gone and killers to be the dominant power role. Because you're going to actually have to use what you accuse survivors of not using by looping.

    Now certain killers have a hard time on this map but Freddy, Pig, Trapper, Hag, Rin, Jumpscare Myers, are all doing extremely well on here. I've even seen Billy's and Leatherfaces do extremely well on that map.

    The only one that has a hard time consistently is Huntress with darkest moonlight and thicker fog.

    Are you aware that "darkest moonlight" isn't working anymore?
    It's just a wasted offering…. but hey, your the pro. thumbup

    I think it is pretty balanced. It is hard to find spots to evade the killer in my opinion.

    Works just fine on the older maps still. I doubt it works on any that were released after they were removed from the website.

    All the bamboo and stuff can be used again Survivors. Try finding a good vantage point and just stand still for a second. Keep your eyes peeled for moving bamboo, Hello Miss P3 Claudette.

    Personally I have played the map 3 times, all 3 times as Freddy. I got two 4 mans and a 3 man w hatch escape. Its a small map with not many places to run to so, imo it is balanced towards the killer. Then again i have yet to play it as survivor but I have watched a few struggle in the new setting.

    Rank 5 my man! I was equally as suprised but than again I main freddy and have never had problems 4 manning even at rank 3 which is the farthest Ive come. If i wasnt using my main it probably would have been different.

    Also bear in mind one of those matches was a war zone from start to finish! The survivors really made me work for the kills and I had hooked every man 3 times ffs! Only time I've ever had to do that, however that was more to do with the caliber of survivors i was up against than the map.

    The map is survivor sided because of how damn big and cluttered it is. There are still some damn good pallet looping spots on the map. I honestly wouldn't mind the same looping-oriented gameplay if it meant that Blendettes couldn't just crouch and pass off as a damn bush all the time lmao.

    Works fine on older maps spirit release.

    It's obviously not a wasted offering if it still works on older maps, but hey you're the pro that seems to know it all yet still fails with the Ad Hominems..

    It's always noob stomping if a killer you call trash gets a 4k, it's never the killer worked for those kills or actually used skills.
