Garden of Joy offering almost every match

[Squeaky Fengy]

Like what the deal? I played today 7 matches and got sent to Garden of Joy in 5 of them. I just can't stand it anymore....

I admit I used a Garden of Joy offering once... I was playing killer, saw one of the survivors was named "Oingo Boingo," and thought it would be funny to say, "Have you seen my garden? It is most peculiar!" in the endgame chat.

I don't know why the devs wanted to rework the coldwind maps right away, since the game had much more unbalanced maps like garden of joy itself.

Using that map offering as a killer makes you the kindest killer on earth lol. Hopefully that Oingo Boingo didn't DC.

Not to mention that they reworked coldwind maps before.

because the house is broken for survivors

That map is a guarantee escape for survivor. The only thing you can do as a killer is either hard tunneling the one who brought the offering, or play extremely causal that doesn't care about the result (don't even bother to chase for more than 20s for example).

[RamboRusina]

Why? Because it has an infinite against most killers + dozen loops that are chained to each other in rather tight area. It has some really awkward clippings around objects that mess with some killer powers and auto-aim. The map is absolute hell for killers.

im failing to see what the problem is with that map. i use it often as killer, and i even got adept on it.
the house requires better positioning on the killer's part and that's pretty much it.
as a survivor, i don't experience the huge survivor sided advantage that everyone talks about, and my teammates die on it one after the other, which usually ends with the killer winning.
this is consistent with what i see from all the killer streamers: they always 4k on this map without exception.

when the bottom window is opened at the entrance to the house (when there is no pallet inside the house), you can make a semi infinite there with m1 killers jumping through the top one and entering the bottom one and going around, in addition to the house from the kitchen window which can serve as a waste time for the window at the entrance to the house to reset and repeat everything.

ps: all of this wouldn't even be so much of a problem if the map itself didn't have a lot of pallets connected, in addition to a very reasonable size

That ♥♥♥♥ is very annoying. Feels like they went back and added them to older maps too. Can't have any fun interactions with killer powers. Just invisible walls that smack you in the face for trying something different.

Yeah, I hate this map offering too (and map offerings in general). I always tunnel and "wswsws" survivors who use this offering.

(Some) Other killers:

-Consider anything less than a 4k a loss and a stain on their reputation

Me:

-Willing to de facto throw the match for the sake of a dad joke

And as luck would have it, when I got in there, they came looking for me because they wanted to farm! So it worked out better than it should have.

I really hope that with these reworks on the maps, after finally nerfing blight and nurse (and some other top-tier), I don't feel sorry for using offerings against these killers, honestly

Map offerings should be removed. They aren't healthy for the game.

I only ever use map offerings to play my favorite ones that I never seem to get. They're my favorite because I have fun on them, I like the aesthetic. I don't really care about advantages because unless I'm playing as killer I find that each map is a toss-up.

I'd be perfectly happy with them getting rid of map offerings if only they would make a much more effective (ie, even slightly effective) map repeat fix. I still get the maps I hate all the time (sometimes twice in a row) and the ones I love very rarely.
