Hey everyone, today we’re ranking the maps. It’s been a very long time since my last map tier list, and we’ve gotten 8 new maps since then, so it seems like time for an update. This is largely just my opinion, but the goal is to try and rank the maps least to most balanced in terms of gameplay. I personally don’t think that’s possible because the game has too many variables, simply put. We’re going to be seeing a lot of the more survivor sided maps closer to the bottom, because by and large the killer sided or leaning maps are typically the fairer ones I find in terms of really being balanced.
For this we have 5 tiers. Terrible maps, Bad maps, Okay maps, Good maps, and Great maps. Let’s get started. Before we start though a quick mention to our fallen brother The Underground Complex. It was an okay map I would say.

Arguably, I think Rotten Fields, Shelter Woods, and Wreckers Yard are the worst maps. Its basically a GGs for the killer every time unless the survivors are REALLY coordinated.
.
Then I would put the survivor sided maps below those mainly because I've seen alot of even average killers do really good against a good survivor coordinated team on those maps. They end up leaving to easy 3 gens for the killer alot of the time. (Depending on what time you spend at as killer)
Tbh idk why or when, they'll had more versions of Garden of Joy. Like the other realms.
Behavior themselves confirmed it in their 6th year anniversary livestream.
So I wonder when that could be
You forgot one tier
Removed tier – Hawkins Laboratory
The Backwater Swamp maps are WAY too high.
Midwich anywhere besides bottom 3 is a disgrace
I'm ok with garden of pain tbh playing as both sides
Unpopular opinion… I like garden of joy
We didn’t get a Sadako or Pinhead map but of course we got that flop knight map
killer main ranking maps worst to best balance = NERF SURVIVORs + buff killers thats bullshit
Garden of Pain
I have to disagree with rpd east wing it’s one of the worst in my opinion
How is RPD not on the bottom of the list
Midwich is NOT a great map or even a good map.
Rotten fields in okay maps is hurtfull, unless you're playing a killer than can easely traverse the map, this map is horribly survivor sided, just the fact that two pig trees can spawn should be more than enough to decide that
Yeah idk I love all the bad and terrible maps I love garden of joy weird community
My least favorite map HAS to be Badham, I'd rather play on the swamp and Eyrie of Crows every game than play Badham more than once per session
(Yamaoka's estate is a close second worst)
i love and kinda hate that you can tell when some of these were recorded with the awful rubberbanding for that week after christmas
I think we should just remove map offerings and just rely on pure RNG with the map idk
Wreckers Yard was the first map I played in DBD. I played as Trapper with I think just Brutal Strenght and nothing more killed two one disconected the last one got out through hatch because I wasn't able to catch the guy when he jumped into it. It was in the 2018 in October when the Halloween event was a thing. So overall I just have sentiment for this map really.
Azhy little giggles are legit gonna break my soul
I wish he had taken account to the fact that these “Survivor favored” new maps are to compensate for overpowered new Killers.
If they remove maps like Gas Haven and Cold Wind and Forsaken Boneyard they’d have to remove Wesker and Nemesis and Artist from the game for being too OP.
Can we get another version of this but based on how the maps look and feel?
It’s been almost a year and garden has still not been changed, wyd bhvr
I noticed his idea of “balanced” didn’t mean equal for both Survivors and Killers but rather how much of an advantage the Killer gets.
If Survivors have a huge advantage he calls it bad.
If Killer has a huge advantage it’s a “good map”.
I miss the old dark maps like old cold wind farm when it was dark also old macmillan estate
Midwich ranking so high is a huge difference of opinion. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had to slug because of horrible hook rng.
Part 4 of requesting a ranking of killers and their respective survivors on horror franchise potential. From no movies cause of no malice and entity control. To one hit wonders, to trilogies, to entire franchises.
I don't consider the map variants of any main map designs to be a different map. At the end of the day they look the same ( MacMillan Estate, Autohaven, Coldwind, Springwood to name a few), they need to look and feel aesthetically different from each other.
i dont get the hate behind Blackwater Swamp. i love using the Grandma's Cookbook offering whenever i play Trapper.
Garden of Soy, Eyrie of Cringe, Raccoon City DC Station, you know the drill
Garden of Soy, Eyrie of Cringe, Raccoon City DC Station, you know the drill
We can all agree Shelter Woods is the worst map in the game
I miss shooting through rails on Underground Complex. Good times
I have to say I disagree with the placement of Midwich. Every time I load in Midwich I just know we're dying. I don't know exactly what's wrong with it but almost every team I've gone into the map with has been wrecked
Treatment theater is just a 5 gen chase with a m1 killer
When you like garden of joy
I disagree with ormunds placement as someone who plays a lot of killer and survivor it can be pretty strong with spirit as she blends in I feel and also dredge,wraith,hag,sadoko (I’m sorry if I butchered her name) it’s also very powerful as survivor I personally think it really comes down to the killers skill and being able to pressure
Sanctum of wrath should be down the bottom imo it’s too killer sided
