Please allow us to ban realms!

Pinball and Nurse on Lery's is infuriating.

I'm sure survivors would be glad to ban maps too. What do you guys think? I think everybody should be allowed to ban 1 map!

    I know you're saying map, but just to make it clear to my brain: Map or realm?

    Wasn't there supposed to be some new offering that negated map offerings from the other team? I would use those in literally every one of my killer matches if we had them.

    Getting sent to Ormond in 1/4 of my matches sucks, but nothing compares to the sheer agony of seeing a Coldwind offering and knowing deep in my heart that between the 5 farm maps I have a 100% chance of being sent to ROTTEN FRIGGING FIELDS again. That is the most (corn) horrendously (corn) awful (corn) boring (corn) and uncreative (corn) excuse for a (corn) corn (corn) corn (CORN!) map that has ever been made.

    I was sent there 5 matches in a row last week. I hate it!

    Well yeah, the Item Map exists, but Realms refers to, for example, Coldwind Farm, and maps of that realm refers to, for example, The Thompson House, Torment Creek etc.

    So my question was: Do you mean to ban a Realm like Coldwind Farm, or do you mean to ban a map like Fractured Cowshed?

    Sorry for not being clear.

    When I get same realm 5+ times in a row, sometimes same map back to back, I very much wish I could opt out of certain realms just to have variety. The worst is when I play a map offering to go somewhere else but because it isn't guaranteed I still end up in the realm I was trying to avoid.

    I would love to ban maps as Killer. However if each survivor would be able to ban 1 map the killer would need to be able to ban 4 to make it fair. This however would reduce the map pool too much i think.

    Another version could maybe be killer bans 2 survivors ban 2 but survivors have to vote and the 2 maps with the most votes gets picked if the maps tie it bans one or 2 ( if each survivor picked a different map) of the tied maps at random?

    Any better ideas?

    Yeah, at least 2 maps would be amazing.

    Killer too, WoW had a 2 Map Blacklist and it worked out well.

    I mean you kinda can set a map or keep it random with offerings.

    Realms!

    There are 15 different realms currently. I think banning 5 of them would let a pool of 10 to choose from, which is, in my judgement, enough diversity. You're right about the different locations of a realm being called a map.

    The offering exists, unlocked it last night on pig. I believe it's a very rare offering. It only came up once when I prestiged her 1-38.

    Suggestion to fix the issue:

    We now have that map offering counter offering (moco). If we'd split regular offerings (wreaths, cakes, wood etc) and map offerings, and have the map offerings that have been brought show BEFORE getting into the match, giving people the chance to use a negation offering on one, several or all of them (like give the MOCO ranks. brown lowers the chances of one, yellow negates one, green lowers the chance of two, purple negates two, pink negates all for example) and then have the entity show a preview image of what map you'll be heading to and give the chance to nope out.

    a map is the one location you are at, such as "Suffication Pit"

    a realm is the location multiple maps are from, such as "MacMillan Estate"


    so saying you want a map banned would only keep that one map from appearing, but saying you want a realm banned would keep up to five maps from appearing.

    I think they should keep realm selection out of offerings since it's not fair for the killer (survivors can do x4, killer can do x1 - survivors can do and can negate killer same time, killer can't do and negate same time). Creating a voting system for survivors can make realm banning 1:1. They should stop putting things on the game where survivors can do x4 and killer only x1.

    Yes, I said something about that later.
