I'm Bored of Map Offerings

Can we please get rid of them? Maybe this is "a take," but I'd rather them fix how maps are chosen and remove map offerings than keep them around. I just personally feel that in a game that uses mmr, or what they tell us is mmr, there isn't any room for map manipulation. I can't think of one other game that has some sort of mmr system that allows you to manipulate the game into sending you to a location you want to go. I mean, I haven't played many games like that, but I have a understanding of more online games than I have played. So maybe someone can correct me if it's true or not that other games with an mmr system allow you to manipulate what map you're sent to.

Anyways I know the main argument against getting rid of map offerings is when you're sent to the same map multiple times in a row. There is a very simple fix to that. There are currently 39 active maps in dbd (would have been 40 rip Hawkins). You can remove that last 7 maps from rotation every player in the round has been too and assuming they're all different maps, you'd still have 4 maps in rotation. I don't think it should be the last 7 maps, but maybe 5 or 6 to still have 9 to 14 maps in rotation. Then they could get rid of map offerings and you'll never run into the same map over and over and over again.

    The issue is map design, not map offerings. If maps were better balanced offerings wouldn’t be an issue. Map offerings should be weighted more for killer though since it’s a 4v1 and they can throw many more.

    Yeeeeep. That's the topic of the week here it seems. I'm so done with Map Offerings....unless I played Scratch Mirror Myers...I never used any as Killer and I find Survivors bring them WAY more than Killers do. I would love to see what the statistics are (if BHVR even tracks that) and to see how often Survivors bring Map Offerings and WHICH Map Offerings are brought the most.


    They're such a waste of Bloodweb space & inventory...even more so than other Offerings and add-ons, personally speaking. Esp when you have piles of the same 2-3 ones....like how badly do people wanna keep playing.of the same damn maps? Almost always I'll get the same map twice in a row, every session I sit down to play...then Survivors bring Offerings and poof...I flip-flop between Eyrie of Crows and House of Joy, with the occasional The Game Offering.


    Maps need a overhaul with their size and tile randomization and Offerings be scrapped, with a better tuned randomizer for Maps being picked....

    I sigh (both as killer and surv) every time there's a map offering and it's neither mcmillan or crotus prenn
