Devs are delusional

So they're nerfing the band-aid that was ruin allowing gens to be done much quicker when they were already quick to do and combined with the large map size it makes any killer who doesn't have a good amount of map pressure (basically any killer that isnt Billy, nurse or spirit) way more difficult. The thing that really shows their delusions though is them saying new ruin will be strong late game as totems never survive more than the first few minutes. Plus, their reasons for nerfing ruin could also be applied to dead hard and borrowed time as those are crutch perks too yet those remain untouched. They also dont seem to realize that survivor queue times are already increasing which will lead to less streamers playing survivor (or if they're swf possibly leaving the game entirely) and some survivor mains just getting bored. Basically the state of the game will be: survivors wait a long time for a game, game will be over extremely quickly then they'll be back in queue simulator 2020. As for killers it will be instant queue, maybe some fun messing with survivors as it'll be one of the few ways to make the short games fun, then instant queue again and repeat.

    The totem will survive to late game because gens are going to be done so fast, of course! Totem can be gone in 2 minutes but by that time the game will be over. Lasted until late game!

    Devs were right about this. /s

    I honestly don't like the Ruin changes, but I can see why they did this. It was annoying to face Ruin every game. Also, they might take a look at toolboxes, gens, maps and even buff some killers that might need it. This could be a good thing. Like you said: Ruin was just a Band-Aid fix. Now they can fix what is wrong with this game.

    BHVR puts the focus on who has the potential to bring them the most money: These are the survivor players, especially the new ones who haven't bought all the DLCs and cosmetics yet.

    As long as the playercount/earnings don't decrease, BHVR will continue this path.

    Just git gud or pressure 4 gens at once.

    But in all seriousness, yeah. They have to be delusional to murder ruin. It's not even a nerf as it's now a completely different (dead) perk. But hey! It was annoying to survivors so shut up. I already see increase in knockout slug builds. It's super fun when I get 1 hooked as a survivor.

    Billy will get nerfed next cause he's also not fun...
