Um whats up with the hooks?
I always have issues with the Mary’s letter map. I swear almost every match someone wiggles out of my grasp because I cant find any or there are non left. I even use Iron Grasp sometimes. Anyone else have this issue? Or am I just blind?

Not just you. Midwich hook spawns are awful. Here is a recent video from Otz where he loses a kill due to bad hook spawns.

Not only Otz, me too! The hook spawns on Midwich are notoriously bad, the spawn logic fails to take into account traversal time and wayfaring between the hooks and instead prioritise flat out proximity, while two hooks above each other could be literally half the map apart in terms of connection.

😡Wow😡 its extremely annoying. And I had one that brought boil over on top of it

This is all because people complained they never wiggled off the killer's shoulder (which they aren't entitled to since they got downed) because, "There's WAY too many hooks everywhere!" So one patch, the devs decided to reduce the hook count on all maps, and here we are. Then people complain about slugging, and around and around we go.

this map has to be reworked asap. it's bad on so many levels.

i personally haven't noticed people wiggling out of my grasp as easily on midwich unless if they had perks to assist them, there was a bunch of body blocking, or offerings were used. that's concerning to hear, though. where do the hooks normally spawn for you?

Yes, this map is notoriously bad for hook RNG. You also need to manage them carefully as there is sometimes only one hook that can be reached from both the courtyard and from one exit gate so ideally that shouldn't be broken until very late in the game.
Meanwhile on Torment Creek you often get two hooks right next to each other, near the harvester. 🙃
Other than that Midwich is a quite good killer map though so I won't complain too much. I worry that a rework would add more god pallets. 😉

This just further proves the point that while Midwitch is brilliantly loyal to Silent Hill, it is a terrible map for a game like DbD.

Yeah I had a whole corridor on there without a hook and lost several survivors because of it.

Midwich is terrible now. I downed someone in the central court and there was no hooks in the central area at all. The closest one was at the corner of one of the long corridors so I was forced to drop the survivor.

Midwich in general is a terrible map. Too many 'hold w' areas with not enough mind game potential which should make it a good map for killers. But then hooks are hard to get to. I do think it needs a slight redesign.

One time on Midwich I had 1 hook downstairs and then the basement. 1 more hook was outside and 3 more were upstairs. I had to slug to death 3 people because of it (of course I tried to make it to a hook with no success 2 times each survivor).

I’ve had a lot of players burning Mary’s letter lately along with one or two bloody party streamers. Last night it happened twice in a row.
