Way to fix gen rushing

Hi, new to the forums, I play survivor and killer in red ranks on xbox. Been recently reading the forums and alot of people complaining about getting gen rushed as killer because if the new ruin.

A lot of people suggested adding new objectives into the game before allowing to do gens, maybe collecting keys or something.

Way I see to slow down gen rushing is the make it like learys, majority of the gens on learys can only have 1 or 2 people on the gens. I think they could do a beneficial for both killer and survivors if they want to have more than 1 survivor on a gen, make it harder to repair.

Make failed skill checks regress the generators more.

Ofc giving them the repair speedboost is good but also make it more difficult with smaller and faster more frequent skill checks.

I think every killer needs addons like Freddy, as far as i recall, he's the only killer that has repairing slow down addons.

In my experience though, I think most people are seeing Swf teams the issue and they're right, everytime I play killer i seem to get people who are all good at looping so you do get gen rushed pretty fast. But when I play survivor I'll have teammates using selfcare away from everyone else with a killer running sloppy butcher. So from my survivor perspective and playing with randoms the balancing seems okay.

But when I play killer I can see the frustrations of people.

I'd like new objectives as a survivor though, I think the game is too linear...loop and do gens, little bit of totem cleansing, I've never played F13 but I like the different escape options, fuel a car, fix a radio etc...i think doing something similar to that could freshen up the game.

    Killers don't need to be more add on dependent.

    This. I like not bothering with add-ons on killers. Making a killer require an add-on to be good means the killer's basekit is weak and should be upgraded.

    I'm not saying they should be more add-on dependant. Everyone has their own playstyle with the killers and if people would rather engage in a chase instead of doing gen pressure then there should be an option to build around that playstyle as well as all other playstyle with different add-ons because the whole purpose of add-ons is to change the style of killer play.

    @ItzPixelYT Freddy shouldn't have slowdown add-ons in the first place lol so making it so every killer has a form of this would just be obnoxious. Do you know how many killer players already spam slowdown builds for the pressure they desperately lack in-game? Loadssssss. If a killer cannot defend generators then they are playing badly. If you vs a team who are all good runners, change the style of play to best vs them. People who complain about new Ruin making it easier to be gen rushed have zero pressure on the map, simple as.

    Killer players who rely on perks and add-ons to hard carry the effort are unskilled and have zero pressure too. If a killer cannot play around specific survivor playstyles they will lose. A good killer can actually spot the styles and prevent themselves from falling for conditioning, baits, and actually have a strategy...a plan A, a plan B and maybe even a plan C.

    This goes for every character too, yep, that's right, M1(R2/RT) killers can have strong map pressure too, without slugging yadayadayada and playing like a forehead, scumbag, trashcan etc whatever you wanna call that boring playstyle.

    The devs have said they are making it so obnoxious synergisation of slowdowns won't always be a thing. And toolboxes are being changed too. For now, i'm happy with hearing that. It'll be good to see actual killer players peeling away from crutch stacking pressure builds and actually playing at a good and fun level. And on survivors, it'll be good to see that they won't be able to abuse the crap out of gen repairs with toolboxes. It allows more room for killer interaction if the gen isn't popping as fast as they have the potential to atm. So win win there.

    And to respond to your recent post, if a killer only wants to play for their add-ons, that's something already available to them now. They just need to be aware that the way they want to use their add-on build may not be the way to defend gens. And shouldn't be suprised if they lose quickly
