New map makes Scott Jund quit playing killer

I feel like the new map was more focused on the arts and effects then the actual layout of the map.

It wasn't cause of the map. Well I'm sure the map had a bit of it due to it having more priority for the first week but it was cause of all the sound bugs. Sounds are more broken than they ever have been. Silent slugs are still rampant, survivors don't breathe or make injured sounds, footsteps are silent, Iron Will will just activate at random even if you don't have it, no more falling sounds, and god knows what else we have to find out, inb4 Quick and Quiet for every vault.

Even generator sounds are bugged. I had a gen in the Chem Lab in the new map that made ABSOLUTELY NO SOUND aside from the tapping sounds that happen from me working on it but no mechanical whirring or sounds of the pistons moving. He had no idea I was working on it cause he physically couldn't hear it.

Killer is in an absolutely horrendous state right now, and you never realize how much you need sounds until they're gone.

People just don’t want to learn things. I haven’t had any issues on the map. Complaining for the sake of complaining. Other streamers say the map is hard for survivors, so on and so forth

This is something that has been known to affect a large portion of the community, including myself. Don't be so dismissive about it just because you don't get the problems.

I agree that PH feels clunky to use.

I don't agree that the map is horrible design, a lot of it stems from that fact that most people still don't have a good grasp on where things are... because it's new.

Midwich is Haddonfield 2.0. You don't have a lot of great pallets save a few as survivor, but the lack of LoS and ways to get around the map also screws killers over so bad to the point where if a survivor has object and balanced landing/sprint burst they would be literally untouchable.

"not saying Im no longer playing killer probably take two weeks"

quitting something means for good, taking a break,... well we all do that time to time

It's no secret that the new map although it looks fantastic is completely broken in terms of balancing. But even worse than the Halloween map. I think what's even more frustrating is that even though the devs are trying to make maps more killer friendly they still think it's okay to put out maps that are the exact opposite. I'd even argue it's crap for survivor to. It's hard to say the devs have been listening to the feedback we have given about unbalanced maps when they still produce crap like this. If anything it shows they haven't, and this is where I believe lots of the frustration is coming from.

As for pyramid head. He is not OP so can people grow a brain and realise that? If you die against a killer. It does not automatically make them too strong. He is mid tier at best. Around plague, ghostface level. He is extremely weird to play with the clunkyness of his ability especially on xbox. And I think it's silly you can't put trails of torment on stairs. And to all those who say his ability is op cuz it dodges ds. It doesn't work with pop, it doesn't work with bbq, it doesn't work with dying light, it doesn't work with make your choice etc. The amount of times I've seen people be toxic by hoping in and out of lockers to get you to use their ds is annoying. And so is the fact it lasts way longer then is needed. You can literally sit on a gen and when the killer attacks you call him a tunneler. It's nice to have a way of countering that.

His is balanced and in my opinion one of the most balanced killers in the game. But his map, much like oni's is yet again not balanced at all. I'm not sure what the devs where thinking but I don't blame him for quitting killer. I'm honestly coming close to and god knows how that'll effect cue times again like when a bunch of people stop playing killer last time. I think they should stop adding new content and just focus on bug fixes and map changes.

And i decimated survivors on cornfield maps with bubba multiple times.

Does it make bubba strong?

Does it make bubba strong at least on these maps?

2 Times no.

The problem on this map is that, you have to move througth corridors and when you do, you can be spotted accros the map.

Firstly to all the people commenting about how they don't have the but so Scott's the problem; congrats you just learned how bugs work I hope your parents are proud. The bugs arent constantly in effect, they randomly happen in games and when they do it can be disorienting. And it also seems to be literally any sound effect can just be muted cause I got quick and quiet for free in multiple games.

Secondly the maps main issue is that its disorienting to walk around and it's just not fun when you know where survivors are but you have to walk very far away to get to stairs so you can go up to them. There are 4 sets of stairs on the map one of which the killer has to actively put into the game. Take into consideration that those 4 stairs are on each corner and you can get gens that dont spawn on corners. It's frustrating to play against as a killer to know where someone is and have no agency to do anything because they'll be gone before you get there

Lastly Pyramid Head feels clunky, not bad, just really clunky. The cooldown for his ranged attack, while probably balanced, is frustrating. It does not feel fun to be stunned for 3 seconds for using an ability successfully.

The key point that Scott is trying to make, which a lot of people seem to not listen to, isn't that playing killer right now sucks or is bad. He literally says it's not a balance issue. It's a frustration issue. Hes not having fun playing the role.

Gen rush? Hell I'd settle for being able to find a gen.

There is because so many players are saying ######### this game. Especially killers due to how rough it is for that side

Albeit this map is like The Gideon Meat Plant 2.0 this map does work well when playing as the Doctor. You can actually track survivors well with their periodical screams and usage of static blast. I always had some form of dread when it came to getting midwich with killers that didn't have survivor tracking powers (Pig, Trapper, Demogorgon, etc.)

I've gotten 4Ks (mostly 3Ks because I let the last survivor go *IF* they understand what I'm doing for them) on the midwich map because I played as doctor. The map isn't as bad, but it is sort of irritating when playing as other killers. Survivor wise it can be a pain to find teammates and gens at times especially when you need healing.

So, it's not a terrible map, but it certainly isn't perfect either. For killer it just depends on who you're playing as, but if you're playing as doctor I highly recommend you use add-ons that reduce static blast cooldown. Survivor locating killers like legion and their perks also work too. Maybe huntress and deathslinger could work on that map too considering the narrow corridors and halls until survivors reach a room or something, so they can get out of your line of sight.

For survivors put on bond or teammate locating perks like bond or bring a map item and find some gens in the meantime.

As a whole Midwich is a map that requires some sort of locating item or perk and heavily searching locations which on the Killer side can take forever depending on what group they're playing against or what Killer you're playing as. If you want to avoid this map then you're perfectly fine with using a map offering.

The sound bugs get old really fast, it's true.

It's not like they're THAT common, but even if it's just a once-every-couple-matches thing, it's enough to potentially mess up that match.

But man, if killers just occasionally didn't emit their terror radius, the community would explode.

It sounds weird to suggest that something might be wrong with one's settings when the sounds play most of the time and then just don't sometimes. Especially when they play fine in a match and then don't later in the same match.

Most of the time I hear downed survivors just fine from a pretty wide radius. Sometimes I can be standing right on top of a downed survivor looking at them and absolutely no sounds are playing. (Actually had to apologize to a survivor once because I was just kinda standing on top of them and then running around trying to hear their sounds, and they thought I was just slugging them and being a jerk. Hah!)
