Midwitch hook spawns

I'm pretty sure this classifies as a bug, because I just had a match in Midwitch where there were simply no hooks to put survivors on pretty much the whole match (not because I wasn't seeing them thanks to boil over). The middle of the map was completely devoid of hooks, they were all at the corners of the map hallways and on the first floor. The middle, where you have a pallet and a jungle gym, there were none there, also, nothing at the middle of the hallways, which, if the team was good, I simply wouldn't be able to hook anyone getting downed there.

I had to slug everyone in order to get people close to some hooks, which is a tactic I don't like and sure is unfun for survivors to just keep slugged the whole match. I suggest you take a look at your hooks spawns there because it is certainly messed up.

    They nerfed hook spawns for midwich making them very sketchy especially in the top corner next to the hidden double breakable wall stairwell

    Yeah, I've had some corners that where survivors were unhookable due to the distance.

    Not so much the direct distance but the distance accounting all the walls you need to walk around and I don't think the hook spawns account for the pathing distance

    With the basement in the swamp pantry main building, the corner behind main is also unhookable which the survivors exploited by running there each time they wiggled free.

    In my case it wasn't simply the distance per se, some places straight up didn't have any hooks, so you might say you had to go way up to another floor which is simply impossible even with agitation.

    Today I saw a video featuring one of these RNG bugs from Otz that points out this flaw in their RNG for maps in midwitch here:

    At the beginning of the video he points out this flaw in midwitch.

    I've experienced this also. Lack of Hooks on this map is astounding

    This has been a problem since several patches ago. It’s also not uncommon to see almost no hook spawns on the bottom floor making it impossible to hook survivors downstairs.

    I'm also noticing problems in Midwich much more often than I used to. In my case, it's been less the middle and more the halls. I'm almost always getting entire halls that have no hooks in them, and they're all in the middle or on the other floor.
