As a Survivor Main(7.9k hrs) It'd say Ruin change is horrible
I understand Ruin change was made to make newer players have a less hard time to fix generators but goddamn low rank killers don't use ruin at all because they don't even have hag
I like old Ruin as a survivor main because before We needed to look for ruin or we take this long time fixing which frustrated me even back then but now... Like I only hold M1 Every. Single. Game...
Before I atleast would try to look for the ruin and it was more fun trying to focus and hit on those great skillchecks to not get ruin and now I just need to hold M1 and put just a little focus and hit it and then go back on my phone to view reddit
I'm saying this as a long time player:
pls bring back old ruin, it's not fun anymore to play survivor :/ just too easy now ...

Killers will get used to it, and the game will be back to being hard. I hear they're already starting to use noed more. Totem minigames is what you want right?
6 -
Welp, get used to it. I don't think any balance changes are gonna focus on the high skill players anymore. It's all gonna be pandering to the revolving door of new players, who leave as soon as they get at all competent because the game's gonna have no depth.

doing all 5 totems is boring af
4 -
You played in daves event right? Completely agree with your post,but we gotta move on :/
1 -
ye i was in that tournament :/ they gotta at least concider adding it back on a new perk or something :D
3 -
And doing one hex totem is more fun than just doing gens. The more the merrier right?
1 -
I wish the devs listened to people like you. But they obviously don't. We have to move on, sadly. I'd say see you in the fog, but I'm having too much fun with Monster Hunter to bother.
11 -
Agreed.
2 -
I'm just saying it's too easy to play survivor from now on... No more Challenge to play as Survivor...
10 -
As a survivor ive always preffered longer games that have a proper back and forth
15 -
I'm actually liking new Ruin on some killers. With Surveillance it is REALLY strong. You just need to pressure survivors off a gen. If you can do this regularly you can keep most gens at 0 progress.
2 -
Yes it's too easy because one weak perk got changed...wth
1 -
yeah I can literally send you all the games i had today, all ended between 5-8minutes, like I play a bit competitively just because it's more fun that way and before killers could apply pressure by atleast having ruin so gens don't get done instantly while i loop shack
but now i loop the shack and about 4gens by the time god pallet drops... Like i want longer chases but by the time i'm downed all exit gates are already opened ;D
10 -
If you were going up against survivors whom you could do that to, you were gonna get a convincing win anyway. Win more is not what Killers need, and definitely not on a Hex perk.

Against spirit nurse oni huntress demo clown doc bamboozle hag trapper shack pallet is trivial to waste.

New Ruin gets stronger the fewer gens there are to repair. If survivors pop 2 gens in your first chase then it's easier to pressure the others to 0.
I've been picking the 4 closest gens to my Ruin and protecting that area. It's very effective even against good groups of survivors.
Maybe stop for a second and think tactically. The devs said that gens aren't supposed to last for 4 minutes. Expect 1 or 2 to pop your first chase. There's nothing actually WRONG with that if you have Ruin and take time to pressure gens. It works.
3 -
Hmm ,that ruin have a 30 sec life so you want it back I think you are a rank 10 killer .I mean beby killer.On the other way with survivor ,you say it s to easy DUDE don't post ######### bait please.and you past a screenshot with your play time like the devs ill come to this post,look at your playtime and say ,,owww he is right,,

I'd honestly rather play basement bubba than gen keeper. Gen keeper is such a tedious and annoying playstyle, as much as I hate having the survs go through 5 gens in 5 minutes, I also don't want 30 minute games where I'm hounding survivors away from gens.
0 -
New Ruin isn't bad, but it should become new perk instead of taking place of old Ruin.
6 -
I'd say it was a horrible idea if they have nothing else in store. They need to do something about the gen speed. Not increase the base time. A secondary objective. I don't understand why they pushed through the nerf without a something ready to be implemented.
5 -
I have something more important: you have spent just shy of a year straight playing this game. Its unhealthy!
0 -
but it's fun and also dbd had been out for 3.5 years, so it's a long time so i can have a lot of hours in it :))
3 -
Well great skill checks takes a small potion of skills, which most survivors don't have so they had to nerf.
7 -
Gen keeper?
LOL you mean killer?
0 -
It’s boring now a bit. I have gotten some use as killer from the new ruin though so it does work.
0 -
No, because if you play gen defense you cannot go for a chase, so you ain't killing anyone, and you just slowly bleed out and lose the game if they have 3 or 4 people, or they slowly bleed out and lose the game if less.
1 -
Pretty much.
3 -
Actually new Ruin allows you to chase. Just push them off the gen and chase someone. The gen regresses on its own.
1 -
Oh yes then we can combine old ruin and new ruin and never do a generator ever. Sounds great
0 -
Another veteran player who agrees the Ruin change was terrible??
Imagine my shock.
9 -
you can still cleanse hex totems .-.
3 -
I think it's trying to communicate.
2 -
- You can destroy hexes, and now there are 2 of them so it is easier to find them.
- Killer has to use 2 perks slots, so he has only 2 perks if you destroy his hex totems.
- Killer can chase only one person at the time, so you could still do a gen if your friend is being chased.
1 -
Found the guy who looks for totems all game while the rest of his team dies.
0 -
Lmao.
As if the game as ever really been hard for Survivors in the last year+.
1 -
I feel the same way. After the update I've stopped playing survivor.
0 -
The devs don't want garbage slow down synergies like that anymore. The game would become more boring than it already is. No.
0 -
No more slow down synergies that make the game more boring than it already is, thank you.
0 -
I agree with the post, BUT PLEASE DO THE LAST ACHIEVEMENTS THANK YOU
0 -
No we want the exact opposite, more pressure at the start and less one hook kills at the end because if you think people give a ######### about you in solo queue you are terribly wrong
0 -
Or you can combine both and lose two perks in 14 seconds of a match, which is why hexes are perfectly fine when powerful
1 -
No more low effort snail pace slowdown perk combos, thank you.
0 -
And btw great skill checks are very hard right?
0 -
Not for me, but everyone else in solo queue seems incapable of hitting them at red ranks.
0 -
It is a perk, not a think you must activate. Byt since you made the no effort argument, should ds only activate when you were chased by the killer for 3 minutes? 5? And dead hard, surely it takes a lot of effort to use it right?
I played a ton of survivor to know that point is absolute bs
0 -
At least I have to press "e" to use deadhard. Can't say the same about old ruin.
0 -
Look how great it is, players getting punished for not being able to do certain thinks
0 -
A perk shouldn't affect people differently based on their hours in the game. That's bad game design and it's unhealthy for the game.
0 -
Not like you needed map rng, to equip a perk and skill check rng
0 -
rng is nothing on the killer's part. Pressing e is on me.
