We desperately need map balance changes...

Even one of the most chill players in DBD gets frustrated af due to awful maps like this one, you could really feel the frustration, and killer players most likely got a sense of deja vu for feeling the exact same (most likely worse).

How he won? skill? power? perks? no, tunneling the weak link and the survivors becoming overly altruistic to save that person, but had they just left them to die, the 3 of them would have escaped no problem, so it ultimately came down to the survivors making multiple mistakes at the end, on a match that was heavily in their favor until that moment and would have been a win otherwise.

Even on his survivor match the killer got frustrated enough to call hacks, which might be funny to some, but shows how infuriating maps like Cowshed are.

Even i had this kind of experience, particularly on Haddonfield and Garden of Cringe.

On the first one i actually had one of the best matches i ever had, with both sides being competent, it was fun, but realistically, i only won cause i got someone out, which was when i was already on my last 2 gens, after that it became a real struggle for both sides, from me wanting to keep the last gens, and the survivors constantly running to super safe areas, that being the houses, away from the gens, i ended up losing one rather quickly, which resulted on the last 3 gens, in the end i managed to down someone and put them on a scourge, which bought me enough time to get to the last two before the last gen was done, from that point on, it became a slug fest to secure the win, from downing one and going to another to stop the last gen from being done, got the second person out, stopped caring about the gen and went after the third person to secure the win, got them hooked, 4th finishes the last gen, but i knew where they are, and i got to them.

Had it not been for me getting the first survivor out by tunneling and the admittedly excessive slugging, it would have lost that match without question, even then, most of my experiences on that map are just a slog due to how safe the houses are (some being borderline infinites against M1 killers)

Then we go to Garden of Cringe... these matches ultimately come down to me getting even one kill, easily one of the worst maps next to Cowshed and Badham, and all have the same problem, too big, many safe structures, too many pallets, etc, i often just feel helpless on these maps.

It just goes to show how bad the balance of the maps currently are, doesnt help that Red Forest was left the same in the new patch, and Shelter Woods is still a mess.

And these are just the worst examples, we also have the likes of Suffocation Pit that has one of the most outrageous middle zones, filled with loops with several pallets and even more safe windows, or both of the Crotus Prem maps, having horribly main buildings that become infinites in some cases.

Seriously, the balance of the maps should become top priority for a while, it would make easier to balance both sides, specially the killers, and we already saw how pushing for multiples releases ends up, with Tools of Torment already being regarded as one of the worst if not THE worst chapter in the game before it even comes out.

We have enough content for months, put some resources on improving the game instead.
