I can't think of a single reason to justify map offerings
Map in this game are one of the biggest issues. Some of them can be abused if you plan your build before hand, some are even so broken that just with the right tile spawn you can inmediatly tell a chase is going to take 2 mins (ehem, main house in garden of joy).
Not only this, but map offerins are, for some reason, weighted the same when it's a 4v1 game. Survivors map offerings have the same weight as killers map offerings, but there are 4 times more survivors per match so... when it comes down to who's more likely to choose where the match will play out, it's survivors.
I play late at night, at this hour I always face at least 3 P100's per lobby. I literally can tell just by looking at the lobby without fail that they'll send me to either The Game, Eyrie of Crows or Springwood. So fun.
Just remove map offerings already. Or make them work the other way around: block a map from the pool instead of sending everyone there. Or make the sacrificial ward brown quality.
I've been really trying, but I can't think of any reason why someone with over 500 hours in this game would defend map offerings without clearly outing themselves as either a survivor main who never played killer or a scratched mirror Myers-only player.

They can be massively abused by Swf's. If you get sent to Badham as killer and there is also an offering to make basement spawn in the killer shack, two survivors have No Mither, you know you're not going to have a good time if you go anywhere near the lower floor in the school!
Oh no they are so silly I dont know why they are in the game. Should only be something you use with friends in a custom game.
Feel like anyone that actually uses these should be put into their own little special que. Very obnoxious.
The only reason of why i dont want map offerings to go is scratched mirror Myers.
Otherwise, the offerings can absolutely go in my opinion. They hold immense power and are most of the time completely unfair.
Agreed, besides some fun types of builds for specific killers, map offerings need to be scrap or Rework complete differently. Maybe since it is stack by the Survivors side, the Survivors only get a 25% increase chance per map offering they used, so they all need all 4 map offerings can be played just for the killer to overwrite it with the map cancel offering.
Also, maybe killer biased but, maybe the killer should be allowed to view all survivors offerings in lobby screen, so they have time to set it up. It would make the canceled map offerings more worthwhile when you have a minute long feedback of what the Survivors are bringing, in advance.
If not everyone agrees with this, I am more down with simple removing Map Offerings permanently, since they can straight up gives any sides, especially survivors more often a straight up advantage, when bringing a specific build.
I honestly liked Map Offerings better when they were small and it was a chance to go to the map, not a flip of a switch.
My fav update would be re-introduce the addons that give slight chance to go to a place in the place of current map offerings.
