Gideon Meat Plant is the worst-designed map in the game.

There is an obscene amount of pallets, and most of those are completely safe, with no short way around them, meaning you are guaranteed to be stunned or delayed by them. And every one of the few windows is relatively safe as well.

Even a complete beginner would be able to run a non-ranged killer around it for several minutes, which is ridiculous.

On top of that, the basement always spawns in a corner, where only pathways leading to it have a pallet to stun you whilst carrying a survivor.

Right next to the basement is the trap room, where both the killer and a trolling survivor can keep you hostage indefinitely. There are many other random dead-ends scattered around the map for no reason.

For the killer the map is horrible due to easy-to-locate generators near the metal doors as well as the aforementioned basement and safe pallet problems. The escape gates also spawn on opposite sides of this gigantic map, making patrolling impossible in the endgame. And the hooks on the bottom floor are far between.
For the survivors the map is horrible due to random dead ends.

The complete lack of lockers on the second floor hurts both the survivors and certain killers.

as a killer main,, this is one of my favourite maps where i VERY rarely get more than 1 survivor escaping.
this and hawkins labs, RPD, Midwich and red forest are my absolute favourites.
(especially the new red forest)

hate ormond, farm, swamp, Macmillan, and the dredge map (never remember the name)

[Dollmaker]

Yeah, that map needs some tweaks.

I would also vote for Lery's for similar reasons, mainly the excessive amount of windows.

[BondageSpider]

Gideon is fine. I generally like the indoor maps on both sides, at least they don't look like vast wastelands of random junk.

[Ruru Rabies]

It's not perfect but I like how easy it is to change floor when you want to, as opposed to Midwich or Raccoon.

[NarkoTri1er]

Gideon has a lot of safe pallets, yes. But I still find maps like Haddonfield, Garden of Joy and Coldwind (Fractured Cowshed and Rancid Abattoir) far worse.

I understand the pallet frustration but Game is even worse for ranged killers. 4.4m/s, plus the added slowness when aiming, plus the vast amount of walls and corners for survivors to go around of to prevent LoS.

Gideon is NOT a good map for ranged killers.

[Mors_Indecepta]

For some killers, Gideon is a slaughterhouse.
It's my favorite map, if I'm doing a 4k for an achieve or tome challenge.

Personal experience aside, Nightlight.gg shows Gideon's as being one of the maps that killers do pretty well on, in terms of kill-rate. So, despite the seemingly endless number of pallets, the best data currently available suggests that killers do a pretty good job (overall) of pushing through and getting kills.

Oh, and I think Eerie of Crows and Decimated Borgo are tied for the worst-designed maps.
