Well, there goes doctor and ruin.
So I read the developer notes and wow, how ######### biased this post is just honestly amazes me.
First the doctor Changes After seeing these changes they have somehow made doctor even worse than he already is. The excuse that they have given is that he is to irritating or annoying because of his static field showing survivors, the doctor gets to see them scream for once when they get into madness one, if he chases him then welcome to pallet town, then you got three other people working on gens with the NEW AND IMPROVED hex ruin doing well now, being absolutely useless. Doctors static field just gave him a quick headstart to get into a chase and I am not saying that it makes a huge difference during the start of the game because it really doesn't. You have perks likes whispers that can easily do that if you know how to use it correctly. So now with this new static blast every single doctor player is going to be running whispers because the blast is terror radius long and the doctor has a 32 meter terror radius, you see whispers click on, you zap. Woohoo you have found a survivor that is either hiding in the corner like a dumbass or has sprint burst and runs away to a loop or is already at a loop because they have the basic knowledge that they should never be in deadzones. But atleast he doesn't have to change stances now but wait they had to nerf that also. They said there would be a cooldown after you shock someone with your basic therapy shock because they removed the stance changes, how long is the cool down? three seconds (This was leaked by leaksbydaylight on their latest instagram post or twitter account). Three seconds where you can do nothing, maybe you can vault, but you cannot hit anyone or use static blast either. So, you shock a survivor and they get stunned for 2.5 seconds BUT you get stunned for three seconds. So basically a survivor can camp a pallet and just wait for the 2.5 seconds to be over because they know that your cool down is longer than their cool down. So they're just waiting maybe teabagging you to ask you why your playing a dumbass killer like doctor and then they drop the pallet on you with you not being able to do anything. Please do note that during that q&a (I forgot his name) he said that this is not to nerf or buff him, this is to make him less annoying, surprise surprise, this is a nerf with doctor's only power being static blast because his shock therapy can't do #########
Bye Bye Ruin:
What they have done to ruin is basically make it fit a specific play style that tru3 has been trying to do with his wraith, hit and run. Lets use any killer for example like wraith, he bing bongs next to the survivor doing the gen, he gets a hit or he has sprint burst or a pallet and he gets away. The wraith will then leave that survivor and try to go after someone else hoping to get a better result. It is basically trying to get Hex: Ruin value with in return getting no hooks. You going to have to commit to someone but if you don't that means no kills. So basically you are going to be going back and fourth trying to push people off gens whilst attempting to down a survivor that can loop you easily for minutes on end, after you finally down him, 2-3 gens are finished easily because who gives a ######### about ruin it doesn't affect "skill"checks anymore. They then find your ruin easily on a loop, beside a generator, in the corner of the shack, or just on the t-wall, or how could I forget where it can legit spawn in the middle of a deadzone on asylum and how it can just spawn on slim trees in mothers dwelling or even more maps. Then now your totem which was useless for you at the start. What really makes me laugh is that the only reason they changed ruin was because of gatekeeper aka bad design, instead of making it easier to get gatekeeper which they did do, for some reason they nerfed ruin, a perk that is extremely needed to have a chance of winning (getting four kills).
If I were a survivor main I'd be partying my ass of either just laughing at how uneducated the devs are with their own game granted that they probably don't have the change to play their own game but have thousands of videos that they can easily look up and listen to. But yeah survivor mains just happy that they don't have to look for ruin on a twall anymore or look for it in the boil room for where it spawns 90% of the time on preschool. Ruin is a huge difference and makes a huge impact for matches, why do you think so many people run it?
I'll leave you on this for the doctor. The problem with doctor is not being able to find people to easily, it is getting them down.
