Nerf Ruin for the love of the entity

Oh my god this perk needs to go or be nerfed heavily. Why do I have to play this stupid mini-game before I can actually play Dead by Daylight. Its ridiculous I have to play this lucky treasure hunt game and hope I find the 1/5 totems that is glowing. As usual you find the first 4 dull totems before the fifth that you actually need to cleanse. It's so pathetic. Sure it can be seen as disadvantageous to the killer as it could be cleansed fairly quickly but many times it will never be found and the game is basically over as cleans cannot be completed quickly enough.

The totems are always hard to find and are insufferable in indoor or houses maps.

One might say, just do the gens and learn to hit the great skill checks. Try with killer's insufferable lag or when you have really quick ones, its impossible to be that accurate 100% of the time.

When I play killer I have never used Hex:Ruin and still have great fun and get many 4 kills because...I practice and get better and don't rely on a perk to slow the game for survivors, I speed my game up be as effective as I can + I am not a dick to my opposition by having this unfair advantage.

    Either you are a new player or a troll. I hope you are the first.

    I give you an advice based upon what I had to learn too.

    Lern where the Totem spots are (90% of the time near a Gen, the Killer Shack), so you find them quicker, use Small Game or a map to help you with that. Learn to hit Great Checks or use Stake Out and deal with it. Because gen-tapping is not effective and you don't learn to hit the checks. And there is no need to actively search for the totem. There are 3 other people in the game.

    How the hell would one nerf Ruin?

    (I'm not advocating for nerfing ruin btw)

    @Shad03 How would one not be able to nerf ruin? You can modify values, skillcheck size, how often skillchecks appear, etc. Ruin would be pretty easy to nerf if BHVR decided to do so.

    @PolarBear But then why would anyone want to use it then? Even nerfed DS is still used frequently (for me at least, though I rarely tunnel)

    But if Ruin is nerfed, then Killers would get gen rushed to hell. I understand you said you are not advocating it yourself, but this is just a general fact that will happen. I'll only advocate for a Ruin nerf if something can replace it.

    Personally I love Ruin as survivor. Majority of the time, killer will patrol around the totem. I just power through gens and let the brave and stupid try for the totem. Keeps the killer off my back as I power gens one by one.

    Ruin is so weak when looking at what it does. Just do the gen and search when moving to the next. The biggest advantage ruin offers is encouraging survivors to run around hunting it instead of trying to make progress, that's when the killer starts racking up hooks. Treat gens like normal and the perk hardly changes the gameplay, just your play time.

    Yes, ruin is so weak, and none use B&C to find survivors, but all killers have both :)

    I've never laughed so hard the entire day.

    would you please stop this?

    right now you have 3 discussions on the first page, all asking for some BS nerfs no one wants.

    if you wanna bait, do it less obvious.

    Edit: its actually 4.
