Least favorite map for playing killer?

The killer I play the most is Michael Myers, and as Michael I loathe the Coldwind maps. So much corn blindness makes it tough to tier up.

What about you guys?

    I second both of you ^^^ Corn is survivor lifeblood and the swamp is an infinite maze of hidey holes and jungle gyms. Best pick 3 and hope for the best.

    Haddonfield. Really like it as a Survivor, but when I'm a Killer it sucks.

    I have to say that the institute and Prenn are my least favorite, but Prenn (original, not chapel) takes the cake for sure. It's the only one that makes me groan a little when I load in as killer.

    There are so many bad maps for killer… it's hard to choose just one.^^

    Swamp is bad, because of all the elevated gens, imho.

    But my least favorite is the Father Campbells Chapel.

    Not because of how it plays. it plays pretty good actually. But because of what it could of been.

    Every time I go tho that lame little clown caravan i think "this could have been a twisted state fair, or something unique, not another nurse map.

    Gideon Meat Plant.

    I don't like it with Piggy (although it should be ok with her), it's a pain with Huntress, and the only other killer I play regularly is Spirit. And it's a pain with her too.

    Have played it with Hag a few times, and had very easy games - lots of dark, unobvious places to trap that survivors like to run through.

    As someone who suffer from corn-o-vision, Rotten Fields is particularly bad for me.

    When i play Nurse Lerys Memorial Institute makes me want to cry. I will take Rotten Fields all day every day if it meant i didn't have to play Lerys as Nurse. When playing killer in general i hate Badham Preschool the most.

    The Swamp by a significant margin, though I hate it as both a survivor and a killer. Not only is it a complete eyesore, but every map there is a bit of a maze for everyone. Just not fun to play in.

    For me it just depends on the survivor's play styles. In general, I'd say the swamp is pretty bad. What I hate worse than the swamp is maps with infinites right in the middle and every survivor in the trial runs straight to it. You already know the survivor is running straight to the infinite. That just makes the match automatically terrible for me. I don't blame the survivors for knowing how to use the map's mechanics to their advantage, but it sure does make the trial suck for killer.

    Killer or Survivor I don't ######### care but I hate Swamp, Red Forrest & The New Map for Spirit.

    Haddonfield.

    Forest.

    Yeah, I'm going to throw my hat in with cold wind farm. Back when I mained hag, I didn't mind it so much, but since I mostly play with Doctor and Myers now, I can't stand it. As Hag, I could just abandon the chase when a trap set off if someone was juking me out hard in the cornfield, but when I'm a different I feel more pressure to commit. I know the tricks, aim your camera slightly down to the ground, don't lunge and just tap, etc. but 360 jukes in that damn cornfield are still hard to deal with.

    My second most hated would be the pre-school. It's like Haddonfield, except bigger. Every time I get this map the first words that come out of my mouth are "Well I'm right #########" I actually think the pre-school is more difficult than the cornfield, but the cornfield beats it in terms of sheer annoyance and frustration.

    My third would be Yamoakas estate, because YOU CAN'T ######### SEE ANYONE. It is so easy to lose people mid chase. If your eyes misjudge the direction of the scratch marks for a split second, they've up and urban evaded into the wind.

    My fourth would be Crotus Prenn. It's full of pallets and the double story loop in the large center building gives me PTSD.

    Some maps that a lot of killers hate that I don't mind so much would Autohaven, Macmillans, and Backwater Swamp.

    The Swamp. Even though it's size is reduced, it still feels big. The gens are really spread out. 
    The swamp gives me depression whenever I load into the map, both survivor and killer.

    I used to hate Yamaoka estate, but now it's pretty much just the swamp. Although, I got a funny kill yesterday near the gen on the dock thingy. As billy i charged up my chainsaw and heard a surv jump down around some barrels I couldn't see past, I immediately jumped off the side and completed the chainsaw charge, making me start the sprint mid-air right into the surv. Must have looked pretty crazy to them.

    The Game. Mostly because of those damn stairs and it being 2 levels. Kinda screwed up my Ritual of the Jaws, too.

    Used to be slightly traumatized by Yamaoka estate because that's where I had my first run in with gen rushers. I barely got through with the first chase, and hook, and the other 3 were ready to leave.

    I find it really depends on the killer I am playing but a few things are fairly global: corn makes most things more difficult.

    Also: is there any killer that is generally stronger in Haddonfield?

    I know some killers are great with the confined indoor maps, but I tend to struggle in haddonfield with just about every killer.

    I dislike playing on the Lerys Memorial Institute, The Game and The Swamp as killer and survivor, while I don't mind playing on Haddonfield as a survivor, if I get that map when I'm the killer I just make a cup of tea and hope the survivors have escaped when I get back.

    Anything with Corn or Reeds, hell even the horrible Bamboo shoots in the new map. Sure you eventually get better at seeing past them but its still so damn tough and killers like Myers get robed of their power.

    @Wahara pretty much how my list is except for the corn. I play that map so often that my eyes can make out colors that do not belong like pink, red, blood red, dark green, brown, ect. I also don't usually get juked either so the map that I HATE the most is the preschool. That map is cancer and has a lot of good loops.

    i dislike maps with "infinites" on them, where the survivors can loop you for ages. examples for that being: suffocation pit, coal tower or springwood. there is obviously more, but i wont list them all here.
    honestla, im a big fan of smaller maps (non city maps), as the trapper is kinda good on these (wreckers yard)

    My least favorite map is the family residence as i might as well be playing blindfolded when im there .

    My favorite one is the gideon meat plant because its a lot easier to see in that map as killer.

    The new Grim Pantry. Claustrophobic, hard to find Survivors, gens in buildings are tough to get to before the Survs screw off, it has three cancerous loops (jungle gym in the corner, the pantry, and the shack), and it's all around unfun to play as any Killer, ESPECIALLY Nurse and Huntress.

    Cornfield map is pretty Survivor sided, the only killers who benefit from it are Billy and Nurse. Michael can’t stalk anyone more than 5 feet in front of him, the Hag, Pig, and Freddy can’t see anything, andTrapper doesn’t have any good spots to set traps.

    No doubt the cornfield. Swamp is pretty terrible too with all the grass, logs and maze-like buildings.

    Have fun with the Nurse on Rotten Fields. For me it's the ONLY map I struggle with sd the Nurse. Even Lery's unblinkable parts are now fixed.
