Isn't it time for map offerings to go yet?

Just use the offering to deny any map offering. The green hand one. It is literaly made for such a purpose. Or use your own offering and hope you get lucky against theirs. Maps can be boring sometimes with some rotations. Sometimes I feel like I want to play on a certain map for fun. I do not wish to wait for weeks before it shows up so I just use an offering. I never really cared which map is balanced and which is not. I often won with the killer on very survivor sided maps.

Funny enough i have burned every springwood I had on all my killers and survivors because its my fav map lol. Same with rpd. Elm street and RE are my fav licences in the game. Other offerings I rarely ever use.

Short answer: yes! Long answer: actually yes, but BHVR would be in a bind of what to actually fill the blood web with. Map offerings aside, I think that survivors could need one or two new classes of items.

Someone suggested that an easy fix would be to let map offerings work in reverse: instead of sending you to a specific realm when burned the fixed ones would throw the chosen realm out of the map pool for that round. If the game send you 5 times that night to the swamp, just burn up a couple of grandma's cook books.

This would solve the toxicity involved with map offerings and make them useful for both sides in one bold, fell swop.

Yeah when I could use a bp offering instead.Luckily for me my ps5 glitches every time a map offering shows up.

I'm actually torn... I like niche killer builds that only work on certain maps. On both sides. I went against a Scratched Mirror Myers on Lerys the other day and it's been one of the rare occasions where I JUMPED out of my seat as survivor in a long time. I would have been a shame if that match had been on Autohaven and I had seen him coming from a mile away. 🙄

This will be an unpopular opinion but I feel like map offerings should disappear only for survivors and not for killers. A killer can make a niche build around a map but let's be honest, they will almost always sacrifice something else for it. We know Scratched Mirror Myers does because he's also so slow.

Survivors can actually stack four loadouts to be optimised for a map, not just one.

Map offerings should be retooled so if you bring one its to guarantee you WONT go there. Perhaps then I'd have reason to buy swamp, macmillam and ,breakers yard offerings on the bloodweb.

This. I wish boring people would stop suggesting boring things like removing gameplay options.

The solution is to balance maps, not to take away everyone's freedom and water the game down even further.

But even then, no map is that unbalanced, every map is viable, some are just a bit better for a certain role or certain killers. People just have crazy overblown OCD issues about certain maps, as if it's impossible to escape from RPD or something.

If anything, they should remove map offerings from survivors, and just have them as a killer only thing. It's never made sense that survivors get to dictate where the entity sends them.

I had Autohaven Wreckers three times on the trot a few nights ago and that was followed with Backwater Swamp, at that point I was bored of playing in the same dank dark maps so I put a Eyrie of Crows offering on, not because it is survivor sided or because I wanted an easy game but because it is the most different visually from the ones I've been playing.

Also, when I play killer its always good to have a few Lery's offerings available for when I want to be a Jumpscare Myers.

Someone suggested earlier that offerings to prevent maps could be an idea, I can't see how that would work, you would end up with some maps that are played less than the Twins

Why is that boring? Whether someone played a map offering or not, you would have ended up on a map of some description.

What different does it make if you roll RPD at random or if someone uses up their offering slot to send you there?

Maybe they should just make map offerings hidden offerings to shut up the whiners.

Sure.

Any map with a lot of high elevations is great for Balanced Landing.

Large maps are easier for survivors to evade the killer, providing it's not a highly mobile one.

Meanwhile indoor maps are bad for highly mobile killers.

Gideon has a ton of pallets.

Midwich and Gideon are great for TR base killers like Doctor or Starstruck Nurse.

Indoor maps are great for Ghostface/Myers and necessary for Mirror Myers.

Dredge has to think about locker placements.

Huntress/Trickster have to think about LoS blockers and locker placements.

But you can just as easily end up on these maps by chance as much as you could intentionally, and in those cases, someone is using up their Offering slot to take you there. I know Offerings slots don't hold as much weight as Perk slots these days due to the fact that everyone just plays BP offerings, but they could have potentially played a Mori, or a hatch spawn offering or something, instead. Offering slots deserve to be used for something that will aid you in some way.

I just don't get why people get so worked up about them. You have t play on a map, it may as well be the one you end up on, and if someone specifically wanted that map so what?

The only cases it really makes that much of a difference is Starstruck Nurse or a Bully Squad, and in either of those cases, it's not just the map that's making the game oppressive.

I swear I'm the only person who actually plays this game for fun anymore. Everyone else just wants to make it as boring and formulaic as possible. I consider the 'anti map offering' brigade to be in the same boat as the 'pro-DCing' and 'pro-new Mori system' camps.

This would also solve the problem of getting cucked by rng and getting the same map 5 times in a row.

Did you even read what I suggested earlier? The only thing that needs to go about map offerings is how they can be used to turn niche situational circumstances into guaranteed ones. On the same token, there are many addons and powers that work considerably poorly under specific circumstances, so they can absolutely benefit from being able to avoid specific map types. Converting the offerings into map type classifications is the best middleground without ruining fun or whatever you decided to rant about there. The problem is being able to choose specific map realms, as some realms have all of their maps have a varying degree of favor for one side or the other (making it a very poor category of being able to choose directly.)

nah keep them. I can only stomach the game sending me to midwich so many times before I play one.

I need to save those whenever I play with my brother who thinks it's SOOOO funny to send everyone to RPD

Freaking Masochist I swear, lol

Mirror Myers are literally the best games and he only works on Lerys.
