Map balance
Look at this ranking and tell me what you notice? Sure everyone's going to disagree on (tbh if there were middle grounds coal tower would be more survivor sided because screw its main building to all heck) ranking but if you squint your eyes just a tiny bit you may possibly see that the number of survivor favoured maps is almost triple the amount of killer favoured maps.
Which made me think "hang on. Are m1 killers actually as weak as people say they are or is the map heavily against them?". And when you look at a map like blood lodge it kinda supports this idea. There sheer amount of pallets on this map is just too much for m1 killers without enduring to handle. And (totally not reusing an argument used for as to why spirit should be nerfed -cough- she's fine -cough-) killers shouldn't be forced to a run a perk to counter an overwhelming strength of the survivors : pallets
Now should pallets be nerfed into oblivion? No. Survivors need a line of physical defence from th r killer or its hunting season if the killer knows how to track. But maybe the pallets should be a little more spread out and have their hitboxes adjusted so that the killer has to actually be under the pallet when it's dropping to be stunned. Not just "oh I lunged at you as legion when you were 75% done throwing down the pallet. It's a stun for you Susie because muh hitboxes"
(The their list is from this video. Go give it a watch its a nice relaxing viewing https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=OSuSZuOC3pg )

How is hawkins killer favored, there is pretty much a huge loop in one room
Idk ask the person who made the tier list. But regardless of where certain map placements are does my point make sense?
Kinda
Pallet hitboxes are very killer sided. Not sure why you think it favours survivors. You get hit through pallets like 50% of the time as survivors unless you drop it early.
Devs already said that they are going to be reworking most maps, but it is going to take time. There is another map rework coming this year I think.
I think it favours survivors because I always get stunned when I'm not even under the very edge of the pallet. It's always a little bit larger than the actual pallet which is a little bs.
Can we a agree that pallets are kinda bs for both sides?
Placing the meat plant and Lery's in the killer sided section? Lmao, whoever made this list clearly played not that much.
But, to reply to your points, the older maps are the less balanced for the amount of pallets that are most of the times very near to each other (combining it with super strong buildings and you even the killers' nightmare). What I'd suggest is to decrease at a minimum the randomness of pallets to spawn (sometimes for example I still get double pallets jungle gym) and remove some of them in some points (I guess there's no reason to talk about crocus prenn madhouse, right?)
