Race Between Curve and Ruin

TransverseCaster

This is really going out to my fellow killer mains for feedback.

Is anyone else relying on a single gimmick to get by? I have about 1300 hours which should be enough to last, but the only winnable games are those were Ruin stays into the late game. If it gets cracked I already know the amount of potential kills just went from 3.5 (3 or 4) to .5 (possibly getting 0 or 1). The problem is that the game can't be reasonably lengthened to accommodate without stifling new players. Whenever I get new players the game is over in five minutes or less.

The learning curve is too steep. How do we fix DBD?
