Mount Ormond Resort (Ormond)

Map is mostly fine. From Killer POV, most filler tiles are playable and don't consistently attach to strong jungle gym windows. It is on the large size, so it is particularly bad for Killers that don't have mobility. Map has clear line-of-sight all around the Main Building, so Survivors pre-running can be frustrating.

From Survivor POV, the clear line-of-sight makes it hard to navigate against a proxy camping Killers. Tiles feel generally playable and fair

Too many deadzones can spawn

Actually i more liked the old one as killer main.

Now it is kinda huge, especially if you try to defend gens. If they not stupid, and finish the middle gen, then you almost garanteed to loose.

The loops not extremly bad, however for a slower killer it is pain in the ** Also for those who not too mobile. Even for Blight it can be horrible since many obstacle just not work normally, and you just slide from it.

Stealth killers have almost no chance to use their power as it is intended.

It is not the worst map, but i would say it prefers survivors (of course assuming they are not braindead, and they know what are they doing even if not SWF)

To big, to bright, and to many pallets

Need a snowstorm fog effect to stop seeing survivors and killers from the other side of the map

Generally balanced and navigation has greatly improved since removing the upstairs breakable wall and massive rock behind main building.

It's pretty well-balanced (wide open, no structures are overly strong or abusable since it's latest tweak, very little hook deadzones, decent pallet density), however it's one of the maps that was greatly affected negatively by the Anti-3-gen system.

Due to middle-gen in main building being the most important generator to complete early to avoid a 3-gen situation, Survivors will obviously keep coming back to it which often makes the Killer have to kick it (since simply conceding gen progress for the sake of keeping kicks for later, risking it being completed while away for a short time, isn't exactly normal). It is also not rare to see perks such as Surge (downing Survivors shortly after chasing them away from the gen) and Pain Resonance (it is often the generator with the highest progress and is often hit at least twice if Survivors prioritize it) add to this and chew through regression events on this generator quickly and, if the Survivors don't go down easy, is one of the easiest gens to accidentally block early, automatically putting the Killer in a very disadvantageous position if there is at least 3 Survivors alive when 1 generator remains. If the system only kicked-in at the end then this problem would be essentially gone.

Apart from this, this map is one of the most balanced maps in the game in my opinion and doesn't need any major changes outside of maybe adding a hook or two in corners as it is common for experienced Survivors to purposefully either sabotage or have one Survivor die on a corner hook, making this corner safe due to lack of other hooks.

Ormond is a map that I think feels mostly-balanced, but also feels kind of bad to play on. In general, I find that a good 90% of my matches on the map boil down to whether or not the main building is one of the first gens done. It's kind of like RPD in that if the survivors break the 3-gen early, the map is survivor-sided, but if they don't, the map is killer-sided.

Naturally, this promotes this sort of boring, hyper-defensive gameplay where if the killer and survivors are both smart and understand the map well, a majority of the match happens in the middle of the map where there are only a couple decent tiles, those being whatever the hell that big vehicle is and the main building. But even then, the parts of main building that are actually strong are largely inaccessible from its generator if you aren't pre-running at the first sign of the terror radius (or running Sprint Burst, I suppose).

All it takes is a couple broken pallets for the entire middle of the map to be a huge deadzone where not much gameplay other than holding W can occur, and if the killer manages to get a 3-gen within that huge deadzone, the match tends to get very boring for both sides very quickly. If the survivors start running super early, they make it to strong tiles and the killer drops chase, and gens take forever as a result. If survs stick to gens longer to speed the match up, they go down super quickly because there's no tiles for them to make it to.

This map is a nightmare for m1 killers and killers with little to no mobility. It's balanced for killers with map mobility but if you have no map mobility or speed you will struggle and the game will favor survivors.

The map is too big with some strong loops at the main building. Also, there is too much clutter, which can harm killers like Deathslinger, Huntress or Singularity. The colision on this map feels pretty strange, specially on the snow mounts.

Opposite of Sanctum of Wrath, Ormond gens feel undefendable with m1 killers. I'd like to say it's because they are too spaced out, but it's a combination of strong tiles and a main building that promotes holding W, actually punishing the most only the killers that cannot close that distance easily.

IF on top of that strong fillers also spawn it feels really powerless as an M1, and I feel shrinking Ormond a little could be a massive improvement.

It's also one of the few maps where breakable walls seem to improve the gameplay instead of completely overturning it, for both the window near the counter and the pallet upstairs in main, while other walls can just be left unbroken and not impact the gameplay at all/minimally impact it.

Overall beautiful map visually, love the snow!

Survivor spawns are also an issue on this map. If you've ever loaded into this map with Lethal Persuer, you'll often spawn in the middle of the map, seeing all 4 survivors in separate corners on separate gens. Unless you have Corrupt Intervention, coming back from that purely RNG start is going to be an uphill battle.

No issue with the map, it is big to patrol but has some fairly mind-game-able pallets linking areas so I think it is mostly balanced

I say, this is mostly a balance map; used to be more survivors favored and can still be by SWF with sabotage and flashlights builds. The map is too open and bit large, so it makes Flashlight save practically easier to do; but other times; the map has quite a few deadzones in between the main building and some of the loops. For slow/average killer, especially as Trapper; the bright map can make placing traps easily spotted too early and it is more practically to block strong windows and pallets with traps.

When swf bring hook distance offerings and sabotage builds, the hook spawns can be unforgiving and painful to get too without Agitation or any killer perks to mitigate it.

The only thing I dislike is how few line of sight blockers this map has. You can see the killer coming from a mile away. Stealth killers can feel quite weak thanks to this, while mobility killers don't care at all. Other than that, feels relatively balanced. I don't mind this map.

I truly hate this map as any killer. To reach one generator and another it's soooooooo rough! I've seen comments saying how chases look like but barely any talk about any pressure. If I ever get 3 or more kills, is due to survivors' incompetence, not my skill.

My favorite outdoor map. Yes it's big, but the sightlines are super long so it's pretty easy to find survivors, and the generator placements are actually decent.

The fact that survivors love to bring this map's offering from time to time while not even sweaty nurses do it on the killer side should make it obvious that it is survivor-sided. However, that is mostly due to two things:

1. Even though the map's overall size is medium, it still feels big because the distance you need to traverse to get to the objectives is quite big. Most maps have small dead zones on its edges, so you don't need to walk from corner to corner, not all the area of the map is used. But this one? It has jungle gyms and gens extremely close to every corner of the map. So survivors can run all the way into this corners and still have good loops on their side to continue the chase, and killers need to walk through the whole map to reach gens, and this gens are extremely far apart from each other! This bad gen spread can make them really hard to defend. All survivors need to do is one gen on each side plus the one in the middle and BANG, the final 4 gens will be impossible to defend for most killers. Let's not forget the main building in the middle slows down traversal too, you can't walk a straight line from one side to the other.
2. The visibility is quite high on this map too, so unless survivors are doing a gen inside the main bulding, the shack or a jungle gym, they will most of the time see the killer approaching and get a headstart to run from them.

Change this two things and the map should become balanced, because the loops themselves aren't that strong. It's always good to remember: Eyrie of Crows had a similar issue with its size and it got fixed. Ormond needs to get that checked too.
