A patch to Haddonfield

There has been quite a new little meta with the map Haddonfield and the Nea perk balanced landing. Mostly all of it happens at the house with the basement in it. They go to the top of the window, wait for the killer to go through, and then use balanced landing. And they would do that rince and repeat. This was not a problem before but since of the recent buff to balanced landing, when you are exhausted you still have a reduced stagger when you fall from a high place. I thought this was a great buff to balanced landing and I still do. But the buff now can create where u can get back up to the window over and over and over again. And of course it will get blocked but you have 2 other windows that you can loop him over and over and over again. Sure the killer can go back through the window and back down the stairs but experienced players can easily deal with that. I don't think they should revert the buff, They should probably decrease the amount of windows there. I think there should be 1 or 2 windows at least. Just to make sure that killers are not looped all the time.
Of course you could always leave them and go after someone else but people are going to start figuring out about this and keep on there plan b.

As of posting this I went against a rank one killer and looped him for a minute till he dced :/
And legend put the strode key if you think he might have been on the wrong map

    Lol, people still DC over a map instead of getting better at it? Sounds about right.

    It's the same with everything on this game - people would rather moan about it on a forum than play and get better, and dcing before the match even starts because you know it's haddonfield is a joke, suck it up pal - not every survivor wants to exploit map design.

    Haddonfield is called "Had no Fun" for a reason. The amount of chances some absolute bs tile spawns there is ridiculous.

    I rather lose addons than my god damm mind with them.

    I must be the only Rank 1 Killer who does well on this map, at least 2/4 kills.

    Haddonfield is great. Mindgame central.

    I'm sure there are bad placements, but it's just as easy to outplay a survivor just by not being predictable.

    @SenzuDuck I don't understand the hate for the map. It's one of the best in the game in my opinion.

    I don't understand the "It's happened once with survivors so it'll happen every game" not every survivor is a dick head, honestly. Just suck up and play the match, you might have fun.

    But yea - I love haddonfield tbh.
