Must be the only survivor to hate the ruin change
title sums it up pretty much... my points:
- makes every gen so easy no matter the rank
- people are gonna rank up into ranks they shouldnt
- i liked more of a challenge, i could hit skill checks 90% of the time
- stops players learning tiles
- games get shorter meaning more time in lobbies
- shorter games mean less chases and less fun
- too easy to lead on 2+gen chases if the killer doesnt break off

I play both sides but majority of my play time is on survivor and even I'm baffled with the ruin change. Heck I was even baffled with the Nurse nerf, All her problem was the broken add ons lol

im the same, the new nurse is dreadful you can just apply the same strat as huntress just keep running blocking line of sight. i know it probably shouldnt annoy me as much as it does but iv always been a solo survivor and the team i get either struggles with ruin, chases or both yet i still felt like i was doing so well and it was easy but now, random perks will be even easier and games will be lack luster

I must be the only killer to love the ruin change.

i like the perk idea, but feel it should have been a new perk and ruin have a different change tbh

Either Ruin or NOED needed to go. I’ve seen so many bad players take top tier killers, best add ons, Ruin and NOED and even though they’re garbage players their builds carry them further than they should.
At least with Ruin gone it buys survivors more time to do totems.

You aren't the only one, I don't like it, either. One additional point:
I expect even less people to play killer, which means longer surv queue times for us.

What do you think about bad survivors carried by DS, BT, exhaustion perks, items etc.?

survivors will get carried by gen speeds now though too, its like making killers rank more skill based but survivor less skill based... only items i mind are 4 toolboxes because go away damn it haha, DS is only annoying when paired with strong toolboxes and swf IMO

BT doesn’t carry a survivor. A survivor can’t use it on him/herself, all it does is give someone the chance to get away from the hook.
Same for DS. Yes bad players do love their second chance perks but if the killer isn’t hanging around for the tunnel then this shouldn’t matter.
Dead Hard is infuriating I give you that. Its annoying to see someone mis-play then get a free recovery from it. I stopped taking exhaustion perks and it makes you get better at chases since there is less room for error.
I know survivors have a lot of second chance perks but I’m not sure any of them could carry a player on an individual level the same way Ruin and NOED could carry a killer. As a team definitely 16 of those perks could carry a team to victory by wasting so much of the killers time, I’m just not sure it could do it on an individual level.
I think Sprint Burst fits the bill closest to what you’re looking for. Sprint Burst P3 Claudette with urban evasion and spine chill. I see so many players like this. They crouch around in bushes picking the stealthiest character so they won’t be seen, then if they do they get seen they have a free escape to the nearest pallet. In this regard yes I feel that sprint burst is a HUGE crutch that carries people, as is P3 Claudette. I have much more respect for survivors who wear bright cosmetics and aren’t afraid to be seen.
I would have put Balanced Landing in there as a crutch that carries people too before the nerf. No skill required on some loops.

Good list. You forgot

Bad killers who relied on Ruin will have to get more sweaty, you know.

I've read many survivors on this forum voicing their disappointment.
As a killer, I used Ruin only to learn a new character. Otherwise, I strayed away because I didn't like the RNG factor.
As a survivor, I think this change could potentially make high-pressure killers even more powerful, with the paradox that they were the ones who could reliably go into a match without current Ruin.
All in all, I don't like the change.

Before this change I only tunneled when I was playing a low tier killer and felt I was being genrushed, now I will tunnel everytime. And believe me,
I wish I didn't need to do that
