    On the contrary, if we don't take into consideration which perks are used and only go by the stats you requested, the data may show that Hex:Ruin isn't necessary but would disregard the fact a certain percentile of the matches had Killers using 2 or more anti-gen perks to achieve this.

    If we take into consideration or limit the perks the Killer can use, this will show a more reliable result. If taking 2 or more anti-gen perks produce results that are equal to or better Hex:Ruin, that doesn't show that Hex:Ruin isn't necessary. That shows that Killers need to take 2 or more anti-gen perks to comfortably hinder gen progress, which in turn shows that Hex:Ruin is necessary because only using the 1 perk to comfortably hinder gen progress is better than using more than one and restricting what other perks you can use.

    This isn't that deep. There are way too many factors of RNG in the map anyway so doing a legitimate, scientific experiment in public matchmaking isn't possible. But that's not what OP is asking people to do. And the information people give from their experience is still interesting.

    If you want to do the experiment your way, feel free.

    I might create a new experiment in General Discussions at a later date, but for now I will reap the rewards of the double-bloodpoint event and observe what happens here.

    To actually access how useful ruin is we would need to play thousands of games. Because there's way too many variables to account for.

    Including, but not limited to

    -player skill

    -map

    -the survivors skills

    -swf

    -how fast someone is found

    -how long the chases last

    -which killer is used

    -which addons

    -which items the survivors have



    But that's not my goal, the goal is to show that you can do fine in the game without ruin.

    You seem to have lots of those...XD

    Ok. I did half my games, but want to share the results so noone think I'm just not doing it.

    10 games with the demogorgon, 5 with and 5 without ruin

    First with ruin

    1- 4k, 1gen left at the end, 1 pip. 1 hook before ruin got cleansed, lasted for 2:24

    2- 3k, 1 gen left, black pip. No hooks, 1:12

    3- 2k, no gens left, black pip. 3 hooks, 4:10

    4- 1k, no gens, black pip. 2 hooks, 3:45

    5- 4k, 2 gens, 2 pip. 0 hooks, 1:13


    That gives an average of

    2.8k per game

    0.8 gens protected until the end

    0.6 pip per game

    1.2 hooks before it's gone

    2:33 of it being up


    Now without ruin (replaced it with surge, build is the same)

    1- 4k, 4 gens left, 1 pip

    2- 4k, 2 gens, 2 pip

    3- 0k, 0 gens, -1 pip

    4- 4k, 1 gen, 1 pip

    5- 2k, 0 gen, 1 pip

    So on average I got

    2.8k

    1.4 gen protected

    0.8 pip


    Based on these games, I get the same kill avg, but protect more gens and pip better without ruin

    (You can watch the games here - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLimQC_N5ZIqyZiC_3vTig7UXzh3lVxiQ0 ) (except the last one because I forgot to record that one... yey me...)

    Now, for everyone else that posted here

    @lynelmane

    Her stats are posted already, so I'll just do the averages.

    With ruin

    3k, 1.6 gen left, *1:15 ruin was up, 1 pip. 1 hook before it's cleansed

    *this average was only for the ones with the time posted. 0:30 seconds and 2 minutes

    Without

    2k, 1.1 gen, 0.2 pip

    On lynels case, ruin improved everything, by a big margin

    @TheGorgon

    You posted an average by memory.

    With ruin

    3.5k, 1:00, 3 hooks

    Without

    2k

    @Pulsar

    Also from memory.

    With

    3.5k, 3 hooks

    Without

    2k

    @GrootDude

    Without ruin

    3.6k

    And by looking at the ranks in the pictures, it's safe to assume you avg 1 pip per game


    And that's everyone.

    Let's combine everything

    If we combine mine's, with lynels, this is the avgs.

    With

    2.9k, 1.2 gen, 1:57, 0.8 pip, 1.1 hook.

    Without

    2.6k, 1.2 gen, 0.4 pip


    Adding groot to the without

    3k, *1.2 gen, 0.64 pip

    *this would probably be higher, but I don't know the numbers of gens on groots games


    All together. (Just so everyone knows, averages of averages gives a different result than if we did all the parts together.)

    With

    3.3k, 1.2 gen, 1:28, 1.1 pip, 2.3 hooks

    Without

    2.3k, 1.2 gen, 0.64 pip


    I will not use these last 2 results for the veridict, because averages of averages don't really work, and it was by memory and not data that the number were given.


    I'll play another 10 games with a different killer and add the results to these. (Not sure which...maybe trapper, maybe pig...)

    So anyone who wants in, feel free, there's still time.

    The more people join, the more accurate the results.


    These will be the official results for now.


    With ruin

    2.9 kill per game

    1.2 gen left standing

    ruin stays up for 1:57 min

    0.8 pip

    1.1 hook before ruin gets cleansed


    Without ruin

    3kills

    1.2 gen

    0.64 pip


    which so far indictates, that ruin gets you to rank up faster, but nets you less kills.

    gen protection being the same either way


    I planned on making graphs and #########... but my notebook is overheating and shutting down from even having the youtube frontpage opened... so that makes it a bit harder to do those... shame...

    Well, moving on to the next part. :)

    Might have something to do with the fact that Demo is a strong Killer with decent map pressure. I'd suggest Myers or GhostFace next. No map pressure, but they don't need much if any set up time. After you finish with them, move onto Trapper or Hag, both of which require set up time.

  • Alice_pbg
    Alice_pbg Member Posts: 6,556

    It might, it also might not.

    Neither myers or ghostface is levelled enough( or even have ruin unlocked) which is why I was considering trapper or pig

    I would like to do this with every killer honestly. Would be interesting.

    My nurse numbers would be so bad...XD
