Comp Swfs Always Bring Azarovs/Macmillan... Why do you think this is? Starting to become problematic
Recently I have been facing a lot of ex comp teams in full swf, and everything single time there is a map offering for Macmillan/Azarovs.
At first look this just means it's a survivor sided map, and they always spam it.
But It's hard to tell as it depends on which map/RNG of the tiles.
The one consistent feature it does have though, is A LOT of filler pallets that you can chain into Jungle Gyms forever, and I think this is the reasoning behind this.
For the meta of Pre dropping, filler pallets absolutely carry, as there is no counter play for most killers, especially m1 killers, and they can assuredly make it to the next pallet no worries.
I think overall though, pallets should span further apart, to make dropping them right away more detrimental to the team as it can become more of a dead zone.

The answer is fairly simple, those two realms offer the most balanced maps, which is why tournaments mostly use maps of those realms and most really good players don't want to play one sided maps.

Azarovs and macmillan are actually some of the more balanced maps in the game. I think these teams just want to play on more level playing fields with consistency. That said even if I agreed with you, then we would be taking your suggestion of essentially balancing the game around ex comp teams which I do not think is a good idea.

Azarov's maps have extremely good loops with almost 0 trash pallets. Even filler pallets are connected to things you can loop 2-3 times easy. There's also just a ton of pallets on those maps and the main buildings are always super safe. Especially Gas Haven, that main is so gross and is right next to 2-3 extremely good pallets.
MacMillan is just strong for Survivors all around, almost no terrible 3 gens, strong loop areas, decent main, good pallets, the main thing is there's no trash pallets on these maps, all of them are at least decent. Compare that to maps like Dead Dawg or even Hawkins where there are some pallets that are just awful and really just used to get an extra 2-3 seconds of distance not to actually loop.
