Map offerings need to be removed now
When those offerings are used in more than half the trials, i think it is time for them to be removed.
That's ultra toxic when players are using them to give a terrible experience to the opposite side...
I do not even know why they are still usable while they are so spammed.

If we were honest, map offerings are not the issue - the bad design that some maps have are the real issue. So idealy, it would be better to focus on this and try to solve it. However, making every map balance is nearly impossible because the devs seem very bussy with other stuff - look how long we have to wait until we get the swamp reworks. In addition, the licensed maps are probably hard to change. Lastly, I am also a little bit afraid that some map designers do not really care about gameplay but rather on the aesthetic - g.e. Garden Of Joy and Borgo are so bad maps for so many killers but also have the problem with their red elements that some players confuse with scratch marks. Another example is Mother's Dwelling wich is after its rework even more worse than before.
So the best way would be to remove the map offerings. From my personal experience it is for both sides really annoying to get send to a map from the opposite side: Survivors using map offerings to play on maps such as Garden Of Joy, Borgo, or Badham because many Killers struggle on these maps. Killers on the other hand want their specific best map like Skull Merchant wants Midwich, Nurse and Blight want McMillan ect. It is so unfair that one side is perfectly prepared to play that the other side has not many option.
Of cause, the game can still send you to Midwich and you play Ghostface or the game can still send you to Garden Of Joy and you play Ghostface. This might give the opposite side an advantage. However, it ""doesn't matter"" that much, because chance decided and the opposite side couldn't fully prepare for it. So you might still lose or get a bad experience but it would not be so huge like with a map offering.
The only reason why map offerings should not or can not be removed are achivments (like repear Generator X on map X and escape 25times, escape on Map X without getting hit ect.). However, it should be no problem to remove these achivments because the gameplay should be more important than the achivments and gameplay expierences are often worst when one side send the other side to a specific map and wins or give them a bad time. I also think that some players would play more fair or for the team if they do not have to care about their achivment - its like the issue survivors have with some tome challenges but this is a different story.
tl;dr: I agree that map offering should be removed because it would make the experiences for both sides better.
Im so tired of teams sending me to farm maps or garden of joy
