Would it be OK for killer to choose the map?

until they balance the game, i think this is a GREAT idea. but i made a similar thread and was met with harsh response.... so.... uh.... good luck....

I feel like most killers would choose The Game (The Pig map) because it's the easiest to find survivors on, and it is amazing for most killers, especially the Nurse and the Doctor because of the two story layout. It would be too biased, and you would probably never see half the maps made for the game if that was the case. DBD just needs more unbiased maps for both sides (if that's even possible).

Also some survivors let you find them deliberately and pallet loop you to the eternity if you are not the nurse

The looping part is true, but normally from what I've seen on both sides as killer and survivor, it tips towards the killers favor, and the result always comes down to maybe 1 or 2 gens left, then everyone gets killed or last survivor escapes through the hatch. It may not be a fun game for the killer because of the atrocious looping, but in the end the survivors end up paying the death toll lol.

No thanks. Would forever be on the Game if they could.

Whats wrong with that map i don't get it?

Its a horrible map for several reasons. Gens are often hard to find. The killers heartbeat sounds like its right beside you nearly all the time whether they are upstairs or downstairs. If you're facing killers like the Doctor or a competent Nurse on that map you might as well just throw yourself on the hook.

Nah i dont think the killer should be able to choose the map everytime. the regulation of map choice being tied to rare offerings is good. If killers could choose the map it would be the same maps over and over again. Instead i would rather the devs balance all of the maps so that all of them are fair and enjoyable. That means balancing pallets and killing the horrific old infinites aka really long loops now. Fractured cowshed, groaning store house, coal tower, cow tree, etc. All the maps need to be made enjoyable to play.

If its a bad map why not rework it or remove completely , i mean its easier to fix 1 map thing then all of em

Well the Swamp is still here after all this time so....

So one guy doesn’t like stealth so no one gets it? What kinda ass backwards logic is that?

if somebody doesn't like stealth what is he doing in a stealth based game eh?

This game is not stealth based game dude. It never was and devs don't want it to be either.

Then what is it based on?

Chase, at least according to the Devs.

My point is that some maps are not designed for certain killers (Michael....the Farm , hillbilly and leather face ... kindergarten and hospital, nurse and trapper...the SAW complex, huntress...clown map, etc ,etc ,etc) and also some perks are not great at certain maps , so why don^t let the HOST(killer) choose the map gud for his killer and not suffer from the randomness?
PS. I main billy and huntress and i can state that playing as billy in hospital is torture and there are some maps where I can strait see every gen that leads to ez huntress wins.

You wanna play Doc/Nurse in The Game all day ? Because that's what's gonna happen lol.

I don't think the devs. would only allow the killer to change the map for solo/SWF. In Kill Your Friends, the host can choose the map. Even if the devs. did make this change, they would have to delete all of the map offerings that people had spent with bloodpoints.

As to your comment on DbD being a stealth game, it's more of a strategy. The devs. never said that survivors had to play stealthy to win.

The reason why most survivors don't like The Game is due to:
1. Generators are hard to find. Sometimes the sound of a generator doesn't help in finding it because the gen could be on the next floor or it's on the other side of a wall.
2. Most generators tend to be very close to each other quite often (usually around the stairs), therefore the killer doesn't have to run too much to get to the next generator.
3. The Doctor's cancer build consisting of unnerving presence, ruin, distressing, and addons to increase madness by being in his terror radius. Because the map is small horizontally and longer vertically, survivors feel like the doctor's terror radius is covering 2/3 of the map. In the past, I think someone mentioned the terror radius is in a sphere-like shape, so survivors can hear the terror radius even if the killer is on the other floor.
4. Compared to old maps, the totem spawn points are hidden better.
5. Like Lery's, blood and scratch marks are easier to see on most parts of the map (exceptions the frozen and bloody room). This means it's more harder to lose a killer in a chase when there's no bushes, shadows, etc.
6. For beginners, this map has dead ends.

I understand certain maps are tough on killers, but survivors have issues with them to. Overall, it's up to the player to take advantage with these issues, or come up with strategies to win that match.

Even if they don't implement this, they should add a "No Backwater Swamp" button.

No stealth; audio makes it easy to find where people are and defend generators, half of the pallets are completely unusable, no fog, blood trails are visible from a mile away, there's a hundred good totem spawn points...

About the only bad thing for killers is that the basement is always in the corner, but it's a death trap to survivors caught there once the pallets are burned.
