Kill Switch update: We have temporarily Kill Switched the Forgotten Ruins Map due to an issue that causes players to become stuck in place. The Map will remain out of rotation until this is resolved.

The new map is just bad

Small map, almost no loops, you can see the four walls if you stand in the middle. Pallets are unsafe and is just a giant deadzone.

Please BHVR, take your time to develop maps and just stop creating bad maps that just benefits one side

    In their defense, maps are probably the hardest thing for them to balance in the entire game. A lot of thought and effort I'm sure has to go into tile spawns and how strong certain loops / main building will be in respect to those possible spawns given the map size. Not to mention how various aspects of map design all affect the killer roster in different ways.

    That being said, they do seem to be especially bad at it. Just looking at the most recent Haddonfield rework is eye opening. That map did neeed changes but BHVR went over the top and did too many things at once. They made it smaller, while also nerfing the houses, as well as removing houses among other things. Now it is probably the most killer sided map in the game. I guess it is no longer survivor sided anymore though so mission accomplished for them.

    I don't think this is the case here. I really enjoy Unknown and Springtrap maps, those are great imo.

    Main issue here based on what they claimed about it, I think not even devs expected it to become map. So they treated it based on that.
    It's definetly worst map in DBD right now.

    If looking in truth’s eyes, before they didn't plan to do map at all. It supposed to be extension with main building. Idk why they changed their plans.

    This map doesn't have soul at all. Problematic balance - that’s freddy’s map or borgo/farm. But they have concept, idea, and FULL map follows it. This one? Nuh…

    In the 30+ matches I have played since the Midchapter release, I have gotten the new map a grand total of zero times. (:

    It makes me wonder if the map even exists. I haven't even seen any streamer I watch get the map.

    I had it one time.

    This is not really a new map. This is the empty greenville with a shack and the new prison tile.

    Which i pretty sad because this looks really good. And the lobby screen and the TWD intro show so much stuff which would be awesome as a map.
