Ruin + zombies = boring match

Sometimes zombies are useless, but if they aren’t and are harassing gens constantly with ruin, it can literally win killers games. It’s happened to me multiple times in solo queue, where the killer was not good at all, but due to zombies attacking a gen every time you try to get on, it makes it impossible to finish them.

There should be a way to disable them without a flashlight, I’m tired of the item specific counters with killers. Reduce the respawn time to compensate.

    Or you could, you know, cleanse the totem. Zombies rarely do anything of note to begin with - matches like you described where they are constantly harassing people off gens is incredibly, incredibly, inexpressibly unlikely to happen unless the survivor team are deliberately working on generators near zombies. Nerfing them for a 1/1000 game where they do something like this is ridiculous, especially when they are useless for anything besides occasional tracking in most games.

    Plus, you can literally just walk to the other side of the generator if a zombie is nearby, and it'll lose sight of you and leave. Or go in a locker right in front of it. Or use a flashlight. Or kill it with a pallet. Or get one of your teammates to lead it away. Or just cleanse ruin.

    If anything, we should be talking about how to make zombies more useful and consistent, rather than nerfing them. If they just included a feature where if a zombie was stationary for 20 seconds, it died and respawned, pretty much all of the stuck zombie issues would vanish.

    I mean you can cleanse the totem. You can also make the zombies stuck cause apparently survivors can do that which is a bit absurd. Maybe if the zombie AI was better then I would understand but it's not.

    But why improve your own gameplay when you can complain that something is "unfun" and "annoying" and the devs will nerf it?

    You can kill or blind them.

    I will do you one better. Pinhead with Ruin in Police map vs Solo. This is a true free win.

    You can use a pallet to kill the zombie for 45 seconds at which point they will respawn at a random point in the map, the only time respawn time is short is when they are killed by nemesis
