Reminder: Midwich has still terrible hook spawn logic
Just played on Midwich map and yep, one part of the map had 0 hooks on the second floor or very far away (not even under me lol, first floor). Only way I could hook someone is dropping down and quickly going to backyard in the middle of the map which was also quite far. This problem is there for such a long time, hook spawns are just terrible on this map. You can have a situation where 1/3 of the map has no hooks and it's pretty much just slugging simulator.

Yeah, can confirm. It seems like when you are in one of the aisles that connect to the corner where basement spawned, hook logic doesn't take into consideration verticality, nor access to the courtyard. So, you can have an entire floor without hooks only because they spawned above (or below) it, or in the center map. But you won't make it anywhere because you have to get detours to change floor or go outside.
In my experience, the worse case is when the deadzone is on the first floor. A down not even deep in the corner makes it literally impossible to hook.
