A peek into a future with the current new ruin
Breaking News!
Slugging rate increased by 1000%
Tunneling is now 90% garunteed
Camping will be in 90% of games
also red moris will be in every other if not every game
if the ruin nerfs go through, THIS is what survivors will have to deal with. if the ruin changes are about making it less frustrating to play against, you will get a reverse effect due to the increase of these strategies.
for those who like the ruin nerf, enjoy these changes to your average games. HOPE IT WAS WORTH IT

I can simplify it for you. Michael Myers is going to be the most used Killer in the game hello one shots.

Maybe constant ebony mori use will get them nerfed faster I'm absolutely fine with that

Basically. I thought it was weird that they punished you with Oni for not slugging. Now it seems like slugging is what they are after.

I never did this stuff, but now I will since I wont have a ruin cushion to ALLOW me to play nice

More like billy. Myers is gonna suffer more than your average killer since he used Ruin to counteract his trash early game. This nerf is gonna have some serious domino effects for a lot of killers and its gonna result in Billy and Spirit being the only usable ones. That'll probably be followed up with them being nerfed because of a "lack of diversity". Which is apparently a reason to nerf things now.

I don't think it will apply for Tunneling, because Tunneling is a fast way to lose when so many Survivors abuse safe looping with safe pallets. However everything else - absolutely.
Though that's not what I want to add in. I want to see what this change does for a Killer like Legion, after the recent nerfs. They had no well gen speed penalty perks that utilize well with their kit. However a perk that simply forces gens to regress normally while they quickly patrol gens, and the map can make the Killer much stronger with their recent buffs to other aspects.
The nerf to the required perk Sloppy Butcher on Legion destroyed them, but a new regression perk like this ruin could easily be the buff they needed to get back into the game.

No, they don't. I play a lot, 80-85 percent of my play time is survivor and I now hover between rank 3 to 5 and I don't see killers tunnel and camp as much as the forums whine about it. I'm not saying killers don't do it, but it isn't anywhere near as often as people like to imply.
I think people over estimate the amount of times it happens because it is extremely frustrating when it happens and they rush to the forums to vent.
As for what will happen, eventually, will be for more killers to adopt these tactics more and more, survivors will complain, devs will find ways to nerf these tactics, more killers will stop playing, and survivors will just end up waiting longer and longer for a match.
Devs need to look at making the game fun for both sides, but with the way things stand, and with the type of game this is, I'm doubting that it's possible to balance the fun. If I play killer, I hardly even try to kill anyone. I just run around and try to scare survivors and leave them be, twerk while moonwalking with Ghostface, or just run around and helicopter vomit with the plague. I usually let the survivors go unless they blind me, that just makes me hate them.

went back and read a few comments on this thread. And i dont mean any disrespect when saying this but if youre happy with getting one kill a game then im sorry but im not going to value any of your opinions. The devs are really shooting themselves in the foot here. Once killers start to slug every game, camp every game, and just all around play in a more " unfun " manor survivors will start complaining more and more. then the devs will come back and nerf killers to the point where the game isnt gonna be fun at all. I mean look at the doctor, ranked as one of the top 3 worst killers in the game, but he gets a nerf ? More and more killers will probably flock to nurse and spirit because of just this one ruin change. Then most likely once again devs will nerf those 2 as well. This game majorly caters to new players by shooting killers in the foot. Once these new players learn the game, how to correctly loop, and just overall strategies, theyre gonna dominate red rank. if they are gonna nerf ruin, then they also need to nerf the OP survivor perks like Dead Hard for example. Or Adrenaline. There is a very good chance that a good chunk of killer mains will either drop the game or just swap to survivor. A dbd streamer brought up a very good point recently, something along the lines of " when 1 killer quits DBD, that 4 people who have to wait longer for a game." This ruin nerf does a lot more than just " nErF kIlLeRs ". even though gameplay will be easier on survivors they will still face consequences. Kinda feels like a double edged sword in their case.

I don't know about camping. But right after we escaped the state of the meta that was Spirit, Nurse, HillBilly every. Single. Game. We are headed right back to it. Expect a lot of those 3, a lot of Oni's. As well as an increase in tunneling and slugging.
Oh, and say goodbye to hatch mercy. No point being merciful when the odds are stacked so against you.
A shame too. Killers kinda just became an equal role. Now they are being dragged back under to the under-powered role, even to solo Q.
