Breakable Walls & Survivors

Yes, it is, because otherwise survivors could build up breakable walls in any doorway. Create godloops that you actively need to keep breaking down. By the time that survivor goes from 1 god window back to the other, the wall would have been rebuild, having 2 teammates keep building up the walls while 1 takes you for an infinite loop, with 1 person doing gens.

Having the walls spawn in and be permanently gone for the rest of the game is the much better approach. Doesnt mean all breakable walls are equally spread though. There is a reason why bigger maps have less walls and why smaller maps have more.

This is a horrible idea. Breakable walls are there for killers to help control or break loops.

Then there are maps that have too little breakable walls to set-up. Suffocation Pit only has 3 spawns and you cant really enable all 3 spawns for the survivors as the main building would become too strong with 3 doors, but outside that, building up the walls would be worthless because those are the only places walls can spawn in.

I can argue the same for other maps. Dead Dawg Saloon would have a literal infinite if the walls are gone at the start, but you cant just pick and choose that anti-survivor walls spawn and anti-killer walls dont. Especially since that definition is a grey area depending on who you play as. So you end up with a situation where not spawning the walls in leads to either the map being too killer sided with no real looping potential(midwich would be an example) or where not spawning in the walls leads to maps being too survivor sided with no way to cut off loops(Dead Dawg, The Game).

Breakable Walls arent the most exciting mechanic in the game, but they do help balancing maps a lot. I personally still rather see a mechanic added into the game that adds a lever(or multiple levers) in the map that function pretty much the same as gate levers both for killers and survivors(obviously giving Wake Up and Remember Me a bit more value). But instead of survivors being able to exit the game, you have a deadzone turn into loop city. Even if you dont add a cooldown to survivors setting it up, it would take the killer 1 second to shut it down and would take survivors 20 seconds to set it up. Not all maps can have that kind of mechanic for aesthetic reason. Heck, you could have both mechanics in the same map.

Breakable walls are disliked because they are slapped onto places that dont really make sense while playing the game, but they do make sense from a balancing perspective as it reduces the amount of dead zones, destroys god loops and could give the killer the option to invest some time early in the game to save a lot of time later on. If the devs would add another mechanic that has similar effects, it would definitely be welcomed. More diversity in chase mechanics is always welcomed, but untill then, I do kinda like the walls. I disagree with some, just as much as I disagree with some pallets(coughcough Lery's hallway pallet coughcouhg(also, note, I think Lery's is one of the maps that needs some breakable walls in the place of certain doors, would be nice to create a 3rd doorway in rooms that only have 2)), or windows even(I mean, Dead Dawg Saloon's U wall at the water tower with a breakable wall and 1 useless window, honestly no idea why that structure is even there, it only gets in the way, its not even set-up right to link up with the pallet there). But just because I disagree with certain choices, doesnt mean I dont appreciate the balancing aspect that has been added.

In fact, it's thanks to breakable walls why certain god loops were able to be destroyed without making the map too killer sided. It's thanks to breakable walls that Springwood is managable for most killers now, it's thanks to Breakable Walls that Fractured Cowshed could be nerfed very significantly, it's very likely that Breakable Walls will end up saving Haddonfield. They are boring themselves, but they help make maps more enjoyable.

I honestly dont see what that means in relation to the OP. Killers dont spawn walls, if that is what you mean, they are there to control and counter loops that are extremely strong and break potential infinites. Also adds to the horror-theme that the killer would break walls, not the survivors.
