Treatment Theatre (Léry's Memorial Institute)

This map is absolutely horrid. Sometimes it just spawns windows line up in a way that makes it impossible to ever get a hit, and because of the constant line of sight blockers you regularly lose chase.

It might be a Paradise for stealth killers, but half the killers powers don't work because the doorways are too small for the high mobility killers, so they get stuck, range killers have an issue because of all the high walls, that block line of sight to ever get a clear shot from more than 5 m away. Then there are some weird hitboxes you get stuck on despite there not being anything sight.

It is also a Paradise for stealthy survivors, because it is so easy to hide and nearly impossible to find a stealthy survivor on this map. Then we also have issues with tracking, because crows and scratch marks in the distance basically do nothing because you can barely see further than you can throw.

No matter which side I play on I just never find this map fun, not even as a stealth killer, because I don't need to plan out how to approach as there are high walls everywhere and often angles from which you simply cannot be seen... Getting gen grabbed with almost no chance of noticing the approaching killer is always annoying.

The entrances to rooms need to be more consistent as well, sometimes you need to run around an entire room to find the entrance, just because of unlucky spawn logic.

Basically the map would need bigger rooms to combat the narrow corridor issue for certain abilities, some was of combating excessive stealth, no clue how to do that without making this an outdoor map. Then it needs a look at window spawn locations as it is ridiculous to spawn two windows 3 m apart of each other.

Then there is apparently the double basement spawn currently? No clue if that is on purpose.

And if both exits spawn on the same side that can also be somewhat problematic.

Can't find gens, can't find totems, can't find survs, can't find doors, can't find my own left shoe here.

Stealth killers, particularly Myers, thrive here. But for me personally I dislike it in either role. Graphically the last update vastly improved it and it looks awesome. Gameplay wise is another story.

Treatment Theatre is the first of the indoors maps and the only one that isn't licensed. By its own nature, it has plenty of differences from a typical outdoors map, like it being smaller, having lots of line of sight blockers, hard to find generators & totems, lots of windows and pallets at loops that are unconventional. The issues of the map are mostly vague and hard to address except for a few. The main issues are directly connected to how impossible it is to estimate which side it favors in general.

Many killer powers are favored by the map and many others are incredibly hard to use, causing a very unnatural hierarchy within the killer roster for this map. The unfavored killers can result incredibly frustrating to play in Treatment Theatre. Many loadouts and playstyles (specially those around stealth) from both roles can be very advantageous.

The map is very disorienting and hard to learn for a survivor that is not familiar with it, putting them in a major disadvantage both in chase and at repairing generators. On the other hand, survivors that are proficient at the map will be able to have very long chases with the advanced resources that the map counts with.

In summary, the map's strength shifts a lot depending on which killer is at play and also on how proficient the survivors are with the layout and loops of Treatment Theatre. Two incredibly relevant factors that are not from the map itself change how the trial is gonna play out.

More unalloyed issues of the map are how absurdly loud the treatment room is, specially when the generator is repaired; and how the doorways are so erratic and unpredictable, which can cause circumstantial problems like struggling to hook a survivor, hardships in navigation or getting cornered randomly.

The most immediate improvement that the map could receive is reducing the loudness of the treatment room.

The fact that survivors that are unfamiliar with the map struggle so much and those who are familiar excel so well is an ambiguous yet very troublesome issue since weakening the safety would make the first group struggle even more and strengthening the safety would elevate the second group further. This problem requires a very careful solution.

The killer powers being so favored or unfavored by the map is tied to the line of sight blockers and the overwhelming amount of obstacles, yet tweaking those elements is not an easy task and should be addressed with prudence.

Lery’s and badham has to be the saddest maps to land on as killer

Lery's is a testament to the idea that just because you CAN make windows variable between matches doesn't mean you SHOULD.

Most of the frustration of this match is bad window spawns for one team or the other, and painful navigation when you need to go 75% of the way around a room before a door is open.

As much as I love lery on both survivor and killer, I wish rng was fixed to avoid extremely long walls with no door open to cut a survivor off, or reach a generator etc. It is the same effect as badham infinite fences and very unpleasant on both sides. Otherwise, one of my favourite maps!

Tbh, the old version felt better as there were not as much good pallets as of today.

I like that the map is unique with the amount of windows but the addition of string loops make it difficult to deal with sometimes. Especially as you loose bloodlust frequently due to LOS blockers.

As a Myers main, please don't change this map lol.

But in all seriousness, as survivor this map feels balanced, it requires a certain amount of stealth on both sides. Even with a terror radius the killer could be coming from various directions with all the LOS blockers.

As killer it is a map that definitely requires mindgames for all the windows and small rooms, but I think that's what makes it fun. The generator spawns usually feel fair as well.

Doors are usually easy to check but can be harder to find as survivor, but I think just some proper exit signs with arrows throughout the map to point out the exits would help, tho not sure if that's doable with random door spawns.

Reducing the sound of the main room would def be appreciated by both sides I think.

Perhaps a few breakable walls would help contend with the long walls for M1 killers.

But in general, I like this map.

Lery's desperately needs distinction between rooms - be it things like painted walls ("I'm in the green room" "I'm in the room with flowers painted on walls" etc.) or something else.

Tends to favor killers that benefit from blocking line of sight. Mirror Myers heaven. Finding totems is obnoxious, but protects hexes a bit better - really bad for survivors if it's a totem-protecting killer who can easily keep an eye on the totem and gain downs, notably Demogorgon.

This is a strange map. I used to hate it, now I quite like it. I think the biggest reason I used to struggle with it is the visuals. It's very samey and hard to navigate if you don't have a high number of hours playing on it. Adding more unique visuals to the hallways and rooms might alleviate this. Real life hospitals look very creepy on their own and I feel like there's a lot of room for visual updates in that regard, instead of dooming the newbies to a maze of bathrooms.

Now this map can be fair I feel however the RNG of window spawns can be very very strong an you can have windows chained together creating some insanely strong areas
