Do you think the game is survivor sided or no?

never said they're changing it to make people upset

ruin being changed is an overall great thing to do, but they picked probably the worst time to change it. Gen speed is a hot topic recently.

it doesnt even have that bad of a design to it, really only baby survivors that dont know how to play around it think that.

killers use ruin to actually find a survivor and hopefully hook them before ruin blasts away to get pressure and momentum going before 2 gens are done. Killers usually dont even like using ruin because they would like a 4th perk but with how gens are handled these days there isnt much of a choice.

Say they changed ruin in the same patch as adding/changing something to slow down the very early game, then survivors AND killers would universally accept the change.

the queue times are long because of the new ranking systems.

its easy to pip up as survivor and with how easy it is to get red ranks now, most people playing are stuck in the high ranks when they should be in yellow or whatever, and because of the new "SWF will now match-make based on the highest ranking survivor" most lobbies will be in red ranks. A rank 1 and 3 rank 20's will go against a rank 1 killer instead of a yellow rank killer which puts a ton of players in high rank matchmaking.

really so you saying a killer who has to Find,chase,hit.chase.down,pick up, go to hook,hook then repeat that three times PER survivor while also dealing with gens that can pop at maxium 80 seconds while also dealing with DS BT DH UB a whole host perks times that by 4 are unskilled give me a break survivors have so many advantages and thats not taking into account the god loops, infinties, how you can have two jungle gyms tiles that are next to each other and all those pallets. Killers have so much work to do that a perk that can help passively relive some of the stress and give killers more time early game is getting changed where its no longer going to help them early game the game is not balanced and this patch is going to make it even more unbalance

ah yes the classic "stop relying on a perk and get better"

yes because my 115% movement speed killer can walk across coldwind farms to stop the gen in time

its all so simple guess every killer that plays the game is just bad

also never said anything about increasing time on generators, so please stop putting words in my mouth.

let's put bad map design aside, I'm aware it's an issue.

Well have you read the ptb announcement?

All they claim is the changes are soo it's easier and less frustating for survivors, while killers need this change because the emblems are the most important thing ever

It’s complicated

Just spitballing, if we say certain larger maps take a killer roughly 40 seconds to traverse, and don't think of toolboxes, perks, or co op working to help speed gens, the results are as follows: at least a half a gen is done, and halfway decent survivors can loop and stuff for 40+ seconds easily. plus infinites, having to pick up and carry the survivor to a hook, and hook them comes out to at least 1 gen getting done and at max 3 (3 different survivors each on a gen). after that, gens are easier to patrol, so the problem is clearly the early game. few killers can speed across. only really Nurse, Billy, and Spirit can. that means the majority have early game problems, while survivors often spawn next to a gen possibly with someone else.

just imagine if the killer was OP you wouldnt even have survivors

No, or at the very least, not anymore.

With the removal of vacuum vaults, 2 windows in killer shack. The introduction of Bloodlust and Entity Blocker. It definitely is not Survivor sided. I am rank 1 both sides, if the killer is not good it is easy to say that it is Survivor sided (because you cant possibly put enough map & gen pressure.)
