New ruin is a joke
Honestly watching killer streamers you just as well not run because gens will pop anyway and faster then ever. Whoever thought this nerf was a good idea should be fired and DBD will likely lose many more killer players because of this brain dead "balance" choice.

But I thought the Killer argument was always "Ruin doesn't matter to good players" or "Ruin doesn't last but 20 seconds anyways."
But now it suddenly is a game changer?
So let's make this clear. Was Ruin ridiculously strong or under powered? You guys don't ever match up on that.

It slowed the game just a little and no one asked for the nerf but good survivors powered through it.

"Just a little" shouldn't equate to "I can't play without it."
You guys need to accept either it was a lot stronger than you gave it credit for (meaning the nerf does hurt) or it was weak and the nerf shouldn't be the end all.
It can't be pathetically weak and needing buffs while also being so strong you can't live without it.

New ruin only helps high mobility killers, killers that already don't need it.
It is just unacceptable, for devs, that anything survivors have to do needs at least a pinch of skill. Remember no timing pallet save update?
Just go Corrupt Intervention, Whispers Hillbilly.

It's almost like killers are quite different from each other with unique abilities and different move speeds.
The difference between taking 40 seconds to get to a gen and taking only 15 seconds is quite noticable when it only takes 80 seconds to complete a gen.
Not just that but to down a survivor in 1 hit or if it takes 2 also changes the chase times.
Pretty much new ruin is good for killers with great mobility which didn't need old ruin like Nurse or Billy. While killers that needed old ruin to slow the game down at the start. For example Trapper and Hag don't do well with new ruin, slow move speed and don't have one shot to end chases quickly without first setting up traps.
So yeah games going to be quicker in general, way less killers with ruin, and you might even see less killer diversity in red ranks.

That or even slowing the game down slightly significantly helped killers like trapper and hag who literally have set up times to their abilities.
It being as slow as 30 seconds means a lot for them and its ignorant to ignore old ruin is better for some killers then others.
So for the people playing trapper and hag who can have gens pop before they can even set up + first chase then yes it was a "Can't play without it".
Also don't say use corrupt intervention as it doesn't really help those 2 even when it works(Its notoriously buggy).
