Staying Consistent with the Ruin changes
As I have been informed, Gen Speeds were not adjusted alongside Ruin, due to the interference of Ruin in regards to stats.
Fair enough, however, there is another very common and potent mechanic that is interfering with the consistency of Gen Speed.
Toolboxes, and while there have been announcements of adjustments, I feel that more drastic measures should be taken to keep Gen Speed consistent, like what was done with Ruin.
(Also, Skill Checks will furthermore be called SC for short)

Comments

The argument that Ruin interefered with the stats is nonsense. Their own statistics suggested that 55% of the total matches had no Ruin, and still 20% of the red ranks had no Ruin. Thats more than enough stats.

I don’t entirely disagree.
However if this is the direction they want to go in, then they have to commit to it, instead of just pumping out bandaid fixes.

Yes they are nerfing toolboxes, it's not like the devs favor one side.
0 -
I addressed that, and I wasn’t saying they favored one side or the other.
They have made a significant rework (not adjustment) to Ruin, in order to better the consistency of Gen Speed. Which is fine.
I’m saying if that’s the direction they want to take, then they should continue to do so, and not bother with things like simple stat adjustments.

Will they address keys and moris which can also skew stats?
0 -
They should. I’ve made posts about those in the past if you’d like me to share them with you.
But right now I’m just talking about Toolboxes.

I agree

I feel like ruin should have a amount of tokens and once the tokens get consumed it won't re spawn, but if it has a token and it gets destroyed that it should re spawn in a different location if available.

I’d prefer the effect be toned down to normal regression speed, and then have it be a normal non-Hex perk.

Any thoughts on these potential changes though?

Looks great. Sad to see there is nothing fun like generator aura intensity though.

Can someone please explain to me how and when keys apparently became really strong To the point that they can be compared to ebony moris? They are a lot harder to use and rely on your teammates dying to be any different than opening the gate.

It makes killers feel bad so it's op

Just because two mechanics are being compared, doesn’t mean they were insinuating that they had similar power.
In this case they were being compared because they’re both problematic for keeping escapes and escape times consistent.
0 -
That’s not why they were being compared.

No need to quote and @ me

I understand that in this case but there are a lot of post on this forum where people are demanding keys and moris get reworked even though keys are nowhere near the power of moris and I've never gotten anyone to explain to me why they feel that way.

I talk about Keys in the comments, but here’s something I wrote before:

If I only quote you, most of the time it won’t show up in your notifications.
If I just @you, then other people reading the conversation will have to bounce around just to get context.

I have quotes in my notifications but I respect your consideration.
