People are upset Hawkins is leaving for everything but Hawkins itself

So I’m glad Hawkins will no longer be available call me a jerk, but that map is terrible in my opinion. But, when I checked all the comments majority of people were upset about for everything, but Hawkins is fun to play on. I saw two comments of people saying it’s fun that’s it. Majority of the people said it means more chance of RPD or Haddonfield, more licenses can vanish, and other stuff. I just find it odd that people are upset Hawkins is leaving for everything but Hawkins itself

    I am upset because it is my second favorite map. Does that count? Make it three people!

    I agree, Hawkins sucks. Gens are hard to find without knowing map-specific spawns which casual players probably don't, hard to track people because LOS is terrible, the upstairs is basically a death trap for any survivor without balanced landing, only stealth killers do well on Hawkins and most other killers are screwed, pallets are almost all unsafe, so either you drop it early and run or pray to the entity that you get a stun, and totems are a pain to search for.

    The only good thing about Hawkins for me is it's the most tolerable of the indoor maps. Lery's is completely random, Midwich is holding forward simulator, and the Game is a free win for survivors since there's so many strong pallets, by the time they're all broken the game will be over.

    Edit: forgot 1 indoor map, RPD. But RPD speaks for itself. We all know it sucks.

    I still think they should just make a sound studio map for the trickster using the layout of Hawkins, that way Hawkins fans can still enjoy the layout of the map, just with a different look.

    It is a bad map for survivors. Small, easy for killers to patrol, few vaults or hiding spots. Easy to get caught.

    That the thing if you keep the upstair gen last you will win as a survivor you just need to play as a team. That one of the reason its a killer sided map anyway its not like killer have many map in their favor i cant even name 3 map that are killer sided in my opinion

    Hawkins is the only indoor map I don't mind playing as a survivor or killer. IMO there are far worse maps that should be changed.

    It's not the map itself it might not be amazing, but I think most of us have a lot of nostalgic memories of things that happened there, just like every map. And the fact we will never play that map ever again is just sad. It's like a workmate dying I mean even if it's not your favourite workmate, you will still miss him/her if the person die and is never to be seen again. But I know that's life and yada yada.

    I liked hawkings, because i am a stealth player and its easy to break line of sight and then juke the killer on this map.

    Thats something the recent map reworks heavily nerfed, like autohaven or The Game.

    so yeah, i dont like hawkins leaving.

    Good map. Shown who was good survivors and if they understood how to chain tiles and make loops

    I'm gonna miss it. As Twins main it's one of my favourites for messing around with survivors and having fun with the cats eye addon

    Oh, really? Oops. I always do that one first because it is scary to be locked in that room. Didn't realize I was supposed to save it. Ha ha ha... Add that to the list of reasons my team probably hates me.
