What is the best map for killers ?

Hi, i recently played a game in shelter woods against wraith, and always I play soloq, the team was good, but the map with this lonely areas with no pallets or any structure is so difficult, I love this map when I'm going with any killer.

Like this other map Glenvale, this map is good but I think it have so much dead space in the corners, so for killer made this map shortly and easier to control.

What do you think ?

    You’re right. Shelter woods has huge dead zones. It’s known as a killer sided map. Same with Glenvale. Once you get rid of two plates on one side you’re left with a dead zone and 2 very unsafe pallets. If you break the walls early then you can make some vaults really weak. No to mention it’s the only map that can make the killer shack weaker for survivors.

    Shelter wood is not really killer or survivor side true you have a lot of dead zone but the map is really huge and gen are really far from each other so unless the killer have mobility its a hard map for the killer

    My favorite map is azorhov resting place for one reason i split the map in 2 so the map become one of the smallest map in the game

    Overall I'd say Azarov's or the Saloon. Both are really easy to get 3+ gen strats and the Saloon is really small and open. Azarov's meanwhile has the potential for a 5 gen lockdown though it's really rare. They're both good maps to play defensively on if you have the perks for it.

    Other than that it depends on the killer. Stealth killers indoors, range killers on open maps, etc.

    Shelter Woods, Wreckers Yard, Coal Tower, Father Campbell's chapel are usually good maps for all killers.

    My favorites to play as killer are Dead Dawg Saloon, Hawkins, Lerys, Midwich, Coldwind, and Lampkin Lake.

    L-Lampkin Lane?!

    In all seriousness, Wretched Shop is one of my most consistently good maps as Killer. Rancid Abattoir and Ironworks of Misery are decent too. Strangely, Pale Rose is usually nice to me as well.

    There aren't really any killer sided maps anymore, there use to be like 2-3 but they were made safer after the realm reborn whatever crap they did. Best there is now is balanced maps and survivor sided maps.

    Yeah a lot of survivors question me when I use the offering to go there but idk something about it I love to play with both killer and survivor even if it's survivor sided

    I go to Hawkins when I'm sweating for a win as Killer. It's free real estate, especially on stealth Killers.

    Dead Dawg and it's not even close. That corner near the hanged people usually has some nasty 3 gens. The only thing you need is to ignore the main building.
