The Game Map (Gideon)

So I was playing Legion and got the game map (Gideon) back to back. I just want to put it out there that I was almost disgusted by how many pallets there were. I would be chasing survivors and would be forced to break pallets constantly, resulting in low kill games. Can this map be reworked?

    Unfortunately it already got reworked adding more pallets so more than likely not.

    Enjoy your destruction BP!

    It's horrendously survivor-sided. I don't know how anyone thought it was ok. Why devote resources to map reworks without fixing any of the actual gameplay elements of the maps? I don't understand these devs at all. They have an opportunity to actually balance the map, and instead they hit it with statistics, slap a new coat of paint on it, and it's still horrendous to play on.

    Isn't legion going to be one of the better m1 killers in the map since he can vault pallets when in a frenzy?

    gotta love how it actually was just reworked and this is a modern-day DBD map that the devs approved and put in the live build

    but don't worry, I'm sure their stats told them that survivors win-rate was too low on this map, so throwing in 15 extra zero-gameplay god pallets and not actually creating some healthy and balanced loops (and adding more windows while decreasing the amount of pallets/god pallets) was the right move!!!!

    I mean, the breakable walls on that map are hilarious now, though--if the killer can afford to go around rather than commit to breaking them, then a stupid amount of dead-ends available to ferry survivors to.

    I mean, that doesn't usually happen, but it's pretty neat when it does.

    How many of these threads do we need before somebody gets the picture that players are not happy?

    They need a new map dev or to retrain the current one because all the reworks have been bad or no improvement imo.

    My prediction is that next q&a the devs are gonna say "actually meat plant has a low escape rate" like walking around and breaking pallets and doors all day is fun and engaging gameplay.
