Honestly tired of this new killer meta already

All day today it's been PR and DMS. Back to back to back. Which would be fine if PR hooks were conveniently spread in easily accessible areas. Not to mention also the combo with DMS again now in case you're trying to stick it. Because now every random I get is just blocking up my gen i'm working on even when I get off. That and the consistent Plaything with Pent. Which is OMEGA Value against randoms in Solo.

It's just wild that they think this is somehow shaking up a meta that was in retrospect balanced (Ruin/Undying) because you could at least take those out. But the constant PR hits to gens is just eye rolling with how long it ends up taking it the others can't loop to save their lives.


Edit: PR should have a set of charges. Once used that hook becomes a normal hook. This way it cannot consistently impede the progression of gens and be a reliable source of such things. Especially when combo'd with other perks. They are too often well placed to allow them to be constant points of pressure around the map

    I have gotten it a few times now, very frustrating in solo q with no comms.

    To be honest I preferred ruin undying because at least then it was two cleanses and you are done.

    It can be frustrating but just get into the habit of hopping off the gen before the hook. Soon you just do it without even thinking. I was still doing it after the rework Patch even though it wasn't necessary, but obviously that didn't last long. I play solo and if I'm doing a gen with something, I just wave them back and 9/10 they'll hop off the gen.

    Ruin/undying is order of magnitude worse than penti and PR/DMS though... there is too much luck on solo q.

    Am I the only one who finds it fascinating how Undying Ruin suddenly isn't a issue anymore but people complain about DMS instead?

    "Meta" changed a couple of times in the last 3 weeks. Just give it time and your teammates will eventually adapt to just let the gen go during the hook animation. Then the meta will change again.

    My complaint with DMS is the same as its always been since the bug that removed the obsession requirement: the cooldown needs to be longer than the duration.

    In solo q, people just brainless hook trade on scourge hooks as is, but hook trading with DMS basically ensures it has 100% uptime.

    Solo Q players and Killers are natural enemies.

    Like Solo Q players and tunnelers

    Or Solo Q players and campers

    Or Solo Q players and SWF players

    Or Solo Q players and Solo Q players

    Damn Solo Q players, they ruined Solo Q!
