Why are the odds of being sent to Gideon Meat Plant increased?

I get that it's what the devs do with new maps and what not, but it's terrible. We're given map offerings for a reason. I've gone to Gideon 9 times out of my 10 games today, and in 3 of them, people played an offering for it. If I play a sacrificial ward, there's an increased chance to get Gideon. If I play a map offering, I risk the chance of someone else playing a Jigsaw Piece and giving a 50% chance to be sent to Gideon. If there are no map offerings or sacrificial wards, there's an increased chance of being sent to Gideon. Either way, I have to waste every one of my map offerings just for a CHANCE to not be stuck in Gideon. I don't think they should mess with the rng of map selection. What do you guys think?

Personally I don't mind it when they increase the odds after updating a map; it gives people a chance to explore it and get used to it. Same with when a new killer comes out and most of your games are against them, it's good to get a period to practice a lot.

It does feel a bit like they up the chances of being sent to new maps when they drop.

The chances are increased because it's a map rework, so they increase the chances so people can play on the new map and get a good feel for it. They do the same with new maps. I like to call them "Featured maps" as you will basically play them every game. It will go away after a week or 2, best you can do it is deal with it or stop playing for a week.

But that's my point. I shouldn't have to stop playing for a week or just deal with it. There are more maps than just Gideon. Couldn't there just be a slightly increased chance at getting the map rather than playing every single game on it?
