Eyrie of Crows, Macmillan and Azarov Offerings

McMillen and Azarov are two of the oldest maps, have a a very reliable spawn logic, and are simple maps (their tiles are also shorter). Players who use these offerings just want to play these maps because they are very familiar with them - they know how the spawn logic works, use the same build, and don't want to improve with other maps. From my experience based on the offering you can tell how the user players/what type of player they are. They are also easy realms to find generators. Another advantage is that many survivors blend in very well on the rather dark maps - ace and Ada with her jacket are very stealthy ones on the maps.

McMillen is currently bugged and you can have more tiles/loops than usual - and we all know players love to abuse bugged stuff.

These realms are not balanced. Gas Heaven is a strong survivor sided map due to the strong main building and the wide gen spread. Azarov's resting peace and suffocation pit can have nasty four on one side which can be really difficult for survivors. Groaning Stonehouse also has a good mainbuild.

Its a myth the autohaven maps are balanced they're all survivor sided except Wrecker's Yard.

Despite what many believe, there are plenty of players and swfs who just want a fun match. If a map offering is brought and its considered a 'balanced' map, its probably one of those teams who want a fun game. Its typical that anything that isnt directly offensive is treated suspiciously. Nice work, humans!

Also admiting to DCing is literally bannable. From the forums anyway, youll still be able to play if they decide to time you out.

It might be strong for you, but you are not the defining 'line'. If you get better, you might see this map not be as problematic as you feel it is currently. Keep at it, champ!

Really? Please tell us more! Tell me all the kinds of players there are, and what each offering means, please. /s

It -could- be this. Or it could be players who want a fun or even map. Its not always doom and gloom, though dbd might be better off if it was lol

Eyrie is definetely not survivor-sided.

Main building is weak. Once you break walls, both vaults are dead. And it's only has one pallet. It's god pallet for sure but it can't be looped around because it's too long. So survivor has to drop it without running around too much. Rest of the map is fine after BHVR reduced pallet numbers.

What a negative way to take anything. Its all about your own perspective, and you need a check. I was not being rude in the slightest.

Eyrie main building is weak though. Once the breakable walls are gone, the windows are easy to deal with. The real strength of Eyrie is the large amount of connected loops — particularly by Killer Shack.

Usually I only run a map option as a survivor for one reason… fall and escape the killer 2 times or 3 or whatever it is. There are a ton of them in the Tomes. As a killer it's only cuz I'm running Scratch Mirror or if I feel people should be punished...Doctor at the meat packing plant. Lol

I understand that. But I say this as advice, not a command. I was banned for a month* because I said something akin to DC'ing if X reason happens. I don't agree with it, but they'll ban who they deem doing this. Carry on, regardless :)

*: When I say ban, I am only speaking from the forums. Saying you do so apparently affects other players into thinking its ok. I think.

I’ve been getting sent to MacMillan a lot. 🤢

I would agree 💯 (If I am thinking of that map correctly)

I would agree with forgotten ruins my friend, there’s nothing in the middle, it’s all on the edges. However, Thompson House is decent. I would even argue Aliens map isn’t terrible :)

As a survivor I love using the main building and outside of it there are plenty of connecting larger tiles with small loops you can use to weave through to get to your bigger tile.

I think the ship is odd though? It’s big sure but it only has 1 pallet. There’s isn’t much in that corner.

Its disrupting normal game play and might give someone new, wrong ideas of how to tackle this game, that they didn't have prior. Just stay on the safe side and just discuss this matter a bit more academic and hypothetically and things should be okay.

I personally also can't stand any of the swamp maps as killer, they are just atrocious with all the clutter and bushes and half the killers powers get countered just by the environment.

Garden of Joy was always a place to torment killers, no matter the small revisions it got. That place will never be anything but survivor sided.

Crotusprenn is just really big and hard to traverse as the killer and I would say its more survivor leaning.

Giddeon Meat Plant is also such a big timewaster for nearly every killer in the game. I learned to somehow cope with it, but survivors can literally just predrop any pallet on that map and still have enough ammunition for the entire match.

RPD is a weird one: I guess technically I win most matches there, but its somewhat aweful to play and I kinda hate it.

Hawkins is also very oldschool in its map-design and has some very confusing layout, at times and strong loops, lots of pallets and tight, cluttered hallways. I would recon its also survivor sided, especially if the survivor keep the two upside gens for mid to last and don't tackle them first.

I must say I disagree with Nostromo and Thompson's House, my friend, I don't think they provide the necessary resources that survivors have to have in order to escape.

The strength of a map for survivors is not defined by the amount of pallets it has, the main criterion is the size. The bigger the size, the better it is for survivors, because they have much more space to run once they hear the terror radius. Trust me, if Coldwind was so bad for survivors, they wouldn't be picking this map so often in competitive.

I mean, even if you don't want to listen to him, all it takes is looking at what maps show up in competitive DBD sets to realize that azarov's and macmillan realms have the most balanced maps. They are also comfortable for most veteran players to play and have somewhat avoided the absolute travesty that is modern DBD map rebalancing, where they make every loop terrible and add a bunch of deadzones. Add to the fact that they are somewhat open outdoor maps and it is not uncommon to see survivors bringing them as well as killers like nurse, hillbilly, and blight.

You like waiting into a queue, only to be thrown into a queue again?
