Legion is the best killer for ruin (build)
After many many games in red ranks (1), some unbalanced and balanced games, ruin is an extremely viable perk on legion, obviously like any other hex perk it can be destroyed in the first 20 seconds but if it doesn't, it gives you extreme value.
Legion is the only killer but doctor that force survivors to stop their actions to mend, and so, gives regression time on the gens, you find survivor(s) use feral frenzy and they leave the gen, ruin starts, you hit one or many, ruin still works, some stay close while some run away, those that ran or stayed close need to mend, and if you come back to the gen they can't work on it since they are injured and so ruin keeps working, ruin always take progress away with legion, compared to other killers, which either insta down or simply injure, survivors don't need to spend time doing another action and can repair gens instantly, with legion they are forced to mend and so always lose progressions .
I made a build with this strategy and so far after around 7+ games, with 4 kills and less than 2 gens done on each.
Build is:
Duration add-on and either nasty blade or filthy blade
Thanatophobia, BBQ, Ruin and Blood echo
The point of the build is to always always always apply pressure on survivors, since as soon as you see them they leave the gen and it start regressing.
You must do everything for it to always regress, use feral frenzy when seeing one and find the others, spread the damage for thanatophobia to do it's work, increase the mending time so ruin works even more, if the decide to heal they sacrifice gen progression.
Once you down a survivor and hook them, you see where the other survivors are at and so go for them, and since they are most likely still injured because if they heal the gen they work on will regress, they are now exhausted, so no need to worry about dead hard or any other perks.
You can freely chase them without the need to worry about those perks, and it can cause an endless snowball effect, hook one, get to other survivors, use FF if needed, ruin do it's job, they are exhausted, hook and do again.
Once you applied the initial pressure, Which is the first hook, there's barely anything they can do, if they decide to heal on hook, it's more regression, and use FF so that time wasted will be even more significant.
I've been getting a lot of success on this build in every game I played, your first gen might get rushed if you don't get them in time, but it isn't too bad, many times i lost 2 gens in the first 2-3 minutes and the game lasted for like 10+ minutes and couldn't complete another one.
Let me know what you guys think about this build and let me know your results if you tried it out.
Have fun

I'll give it a shot. Seems very well thought out.

I can guarantee you a number of survivors will give up on 1st hook. Many do against Legion anyway but run Ruin and Thana and I can guarantee you they’re all going to bail out of there.
I say this without hyperbole but playing as survivor against this is as much fun as a rusty nail in the foot.

Freddy is the best killer for ruin. Or billy / windstorm wraith. But Freddy especially since they can either stay asleep and do gens, or have the gens regress as they run across the map to find a clock. If they don't wake up? Begin the snare spam.

they both are great, but legion is the onyl one that force gens to regress more than the others, doctor is a good exemple too and yes freddy too, but freddy you can still work on gens no problem.

Played three games last night and won all three (4k) with the build. Granted, they weren't the best survivors... Though there was this one Jake. Anyway, I had some success ;P I'll definitely keep the build in my rotation.

glad you had good results with it :)

Seems cool. Not sure what blood echo is doing there but I'll try it. Might swap it for a better perk.

This is very similar to my build. The only difference is instead of Blood Echo I use Dying Light for extra slowdown and it works like a charm.

Finally somebody agrees that ruin is best with legion. I honestly think legion makes ruin works best because of the time to mend. The build is very similar to mine but I swapped blood echo for bamboozle.

Personally, I prefer an overall slow down build.
Duration add-on plus Legion Pin.
Ruin, Thanatophobia, Dying Light, and BBQ. Sometimes I substitute Devour Hope for Ruin to get more quality out of hooking survivors.
Legion Pin gets you the full effect of Thanatophobia. BBQ for extra info and bps. Dying Light pairs great with Thanatophobia slow down.

Tested yesterday, blood echo was utterly useless. Most survivors healed and or I kept getting mothers dwelling. Played at least 18 or 19 games on mothers dwelling yesterday. Swapped it with infectious fright and 4kd every game. Trust me I want bad perks to be good too and it sounds awesome on paper but blood echo does literally nothing haha. Especially since it goes on cooldown for a whole minute.

It loses a lot of effectiveness when survivors learn they can still work on a gen for 29 seconds before having to mend but yeah Legion rocks with ruin

If you're going to run Ruin on Legion, I would suggest Monitor and Abuse with, oddly enough, Killer Instinct range addons—at least one. The bonus range from Monitor in a chase and from the addon makes it so that you can be far from your totem and still see if someone is going for it, or if they're on gens and you can Frenzy on over to get Ruin to activate.
It's like the one time either Ruin or Legion will ever be viable and I love it.

Oh thats very smart what else you run besides ruin and monitor.

I really like your idea im going to try out the build later!
1 -
what else would you run beside dead ahrd, unbrakable, adrenaline and DS?
i use the perks i have and you use yours, i hate your perk and you hate mine, deal with it like i am forced to deal with yours

I run Thanatophobia as a backup in case Ruin gets insta-cleansed, since it can also be used while Ruin is up, unlike Pop. My final Perk slot of choice is Enduring, for no other reason than pallet stuns are annoying.

Umm what, whyd you respond to me all butthurt? lol i never said anything to you aside "I really like your idea im going to try out the build later!".
Besides I dont run dead hard, I dont run unbreakable, I dont run adrenaline, and I sure as hell dont run DS. Like, ever. Are you half asleep? What in the world made you respond to me in such a way.
Ok thanks for your reply! (Side note whats OP's problem lol?)
Enduring is really good on legion, saves him on stuns from frenzy if u take the pallet stun instead.
Are you a legion main?

3 min gens is even less fun

Wow nice build. I don't know why these ppl are saying blood echo is a bad perk. I LOVE blood echo on Legion! If you hate dead hard holding hands to cover up mistakes that you should have gotten a down for then blood echo if for you. And it's perfect on legion since everyone should be injured when you play legion. :)
2 -
Yeah im with you mate, love blood echo on legion.

I prefer Surge instead of Ruin because it can't be cleansed away. Surge is also a lot of fun :)
I just really hate totem perks because they can be extremely risky. Ruin isn't a bad choice though. I also find Blood Echo to be extremely good on Legion.
Most Survivors panic when they lose their Dead Hard or Sprint Burst.

As a survivor main, I agree. Legion is the one Killer who has given me a particular headache using Ruin since the changes.

Used to be. I’m not anymore because he’s just so damn miserable to play.
