Will maps ever be balanced?
There shouldn't be maps that render certain killers completely useless, but that's unfortunately very common. Will this ever be addressed? I know that due to it being a killer problem, this makes it a VERY low priority since only survivor opinions matter but I thought it was worth trying to ask.

There was son data about which maps have the highest escape rate for survivors not too long ago, if someone could find it, please link it. In the mean time, I think the devs keep the maps mostly the same as they are now to give everyone a game of chance.
It’s true that maps such as Coldwind Farm and Haddonfield are more survivor sided, but at the same time we must consider maps such as The Game and Lery’s which fall heavily in the Killers favor.
If you’d like to play Clown and suspect you may be going against optimal survivors, I suggest you throw on a smaller map to limit the amount of mobility necessary by the Killer.
Note* I am not saying that burning map offerings is a solution (as they are finite), but it is a temporary token you can use in your favor when wanting to switch up your Killer or play style.

Yes just give it 4-5 years and eventually the base game maps will have been adjusted.

there is like,3 killer sided maps in the whole game and all the other ones are balanced or survivor sided.I don't see how that's fair tbh.I legit don't know why maps aren't their main priority over chapters,it's alot more important for the game than getting a new killer or survivor

Nope. Don't worry there will be more and more mobile killers to compensate.

They showed the data for the maps, every map in the game is more killer sided than survivor sided, with a few being close to 50%.
That said, I've been saying since I started playing that all maps need the exact same number of pallets, same exact size, and same distance from the doors. Placement can be different and whatnot but those are a necessity to make all maps balanced to where they only need to balance killers by their performance and not how much certain maps help them.

If maps were balanced, they wouldn't be "FUN" for survivors, so no.

All maps are balanced. 😇

Four killer sided maps at max and about 10-12 survivor sided maps. Balance by BHVR.

^ This.
They are supposedly working on it and realize it's an issue, but at the rate we're going it's going to be YEARS before they're all fixed. This is also assuming not a single new bad map gets released in all that time.
I also don't think their "fixed" maps we've received so far are really fixed well enough. They still have problems.
