Level design tropes you dislike

[Williamhawk]

Hi,

Are there any level design "tropes" you dislike seeing in maps?

By level design tropes I mean everything from simple monster closets to things like horseshoe level design that John Romero invented (?) and perfected.

I started disliking the "take a side route and end up near the beginning of the map" trope,not because it's bad or anything but because I do that in literally all my latest maps.The only reason I continue doing it in my map is because people tend to like it.

Please Help.

Thanks,
