I was once a rank 1 Killer, and always played off-meta; But now that I’ve decided to play more survivor, I’ beginning to feel how boring it gets when just about every Killer runs the same perks. It’s tiring. What are your thoughts? Do you (any rank Killer players) feel that these perks are such a necessity? Have you made it to rank 1 without heavy use of these perks. I’m seriously considering coming out of retirement to show these new age Killers how it’s done.

Both Ruin & NOED allows you to make the round not to be 5mins so you feel less pressured, mostly by forcing secondary objectives. Since Time is a better value than a random buff that may not even come into play in the round, people pick time over everything else.

Ruin is good because it slows down the gen repair. Especially if you have a bunch of survivors coming in armed with tool boxes. If you're on a map like the swamp or the Game, its a nightmare trying to find the totems. NOED is hit or miss, IMO, because a good bunch of survivors will break all the totems. If not for points, then to at least neutralize the possibility of NOED, especially when playing against higher rank killers.

Genrushing has definitely become worse since the depip squad demonstrated how broken it is. In fact I didnt even knew that if 2 survivors work on a gen, that the gentime isnt just halfed and if you want to play efficient every survivor takes his own gen. The depip experiment tried to show how broken the balance currently is, it was succesful in that way, but sadly the devs ignored it and the survivors know their power now
