After more than 1000 hours, I quit.

Tunneling and camping are rampant on PS4, which is where OP plays too, I think.

Even before the Ruin nerf, I dreaded getting too high in rank because there's so much camping & tunneling with red ranked killers there.

It's similar (in my experience) on PS4. Purple ranked killer matches tend to be more interesting, with camping & tunneling tactics less frequently used.

Either way, I've been having the same general experience overall in solo on PS4, so I can sympathize with OP's burnout. But I'm glad not everyone is going through it!

Your reply literally makes no sense context wise...

Person A (op) complains about being camped/tunneled/slugged.

Person B (you) says "blame the devs for not nerfing gen speed and survivor perks"

Person C (me) says "some killers will tunnel/camp/slug even if survivors had no perks and 9999% increased gen times"

Person B reacts "just learn how to loop so you don't get camped/tunneled/slugged"

I dont care about being tunneled, camped or slugged. Well, slugged is boring, but the rest is not. I just need to get better, so I laugh and move on to the next match. (Sometimes I memorize the killers nickname to mori him if i get him in a future match as killer, but only in days im in bad mood).

The main thing is that if you have a low queue time between matches, you wouldnt care so much about dying quickly in a match. Thanks God the Brazilian server queues are fine, some minutes for survivor and instant for killer.

But, the way is improve your skill as survivor. So you can get tunneled but you can laugh a lot looping, 360, dribling, stuning the killer in a long chase.

Remember, dying is not losing in this game. In the other hand, killing nobody isnt either losing. Having fun is the thing, as killer and as survivor.

GG and move on.

I guess the ruin change is still backfiring. I wonder what'll happen when sabo and toolbox changes will go through

You had a fair amount of fun. Thats ok.

If sabo takes hold i dare to think of what que times will be like for survs. No killer is gonna want to deal with that. That is just not fun.

If they want killers to hang around i suggest they seriously think hard about the changes and how they would impact their game.

Chasing good survs and then finally getting them only to be denied the hook by a 1 second sabo? All this will do is force killers to use hangmans and slug, which is fun for killers that have information perks on what is happening, but horrible for survs.

Then go play killer or go play some civilization, for a refreshing change.

In all honesty though if slugging is so frequent then run Unbreakable and/or No Mither. Besides, jungle gyms and killer shack still exist.

The survivor perks don’t need a nerf they help keep you off their behind because Killers can catch up to someone so easily, do you even realize that with the current speed and having exposed and Mori’s how easy it is to keep survivors down? I think it’s funny they nerf toolboxes so bad to where they’re almost unusable. From 130 charges to 24 for the purple toolboxes? That’s not an excessive decrease? What about Mori’s? How about they don’t show up in every bloodweb tree for every level? Killers being able to mow people down so easily isn’t fun for survivors either. You want to fix DCs give survivors more survivability. Map design can help with taller bushes to hide in and higher than knee high crates to crouch behind. Cmon devs. From a solo standpoint it’s unplayable. But then people work together and everyone that plays killer complain about survivor informational perks’ information being relayed to other people.

Dont know, where to start...

I´m playing this headache for more than 3k hours, playing both sides, and when playing killer, i play all of them. So neither a survivor or killer main, nor a nurse main or so.

1. they nerfed ruin, cause it was unfun. Now even a monkey is able to hit skillchecks, so the typical 5-hours-Dwight is as dangerous as a survivor with 1 k hour. Not, because he can loop forever, but he can hold M1. This - imho - stupid decision to kill ruin leaves no chance to be friendly, cause the gens are just flying.
2. map-size: the - insert any bad word here - maps are too big, if u arent playing Nurse, Billeh, or any other mobile killer. and, there are a lot of maps with hardcore-timewasting obstacles. Ironworks of Infinite with the funny window, most farm maps with absolutly safe pallets or other stupid windows.
3. the result of 1. and 2. is, playing killer is more annoying and stressful, than it was before. U r forced to play more lame, to slow the gens down. Means, if a survivor runs to a timewaster, i have to cut the chase. For example, Nea got unhooked by Jeff. I go back to the hook, wanna chase Jeff (cause no tunneling) and Jeffs heads to a timewaster. Means, i have to stop chasing him and switch targets. Guess which scratchmarks or blood on the ground i´ll find. Happy tunnelers day for Nea. With old ruin up, most times i brute-forced this loops, because i had the time to do so. Now, i definitly do not have any time.
4. Slowing genspeed also means to try to get the survivors away from gens. If i chase Nea, Jeff, Dwight and, let´s take Jake (cause he´s my main) are pumping gens. 33 seconds, when they are working at one gen. Looking at the example regarding the unhook, how many survivors are away from gens? Just Jeff, cause he got chased, and for a short amount of time Nea. So, once again, 3 survivors are working. But, if i tunnel Nea, wait, until BT runs out and down her, and than chase Jeff, only 1 survivor can hold M1. Remember, Nea is downed, Jeff is being chased, lets say Dwight works at the gen and Jake has to leave the gen to heal Nea. Is it fun? No. Not for a killer, not for survivors. @ScottJund said it perfectly: do killers need ruin? No. But old ruin gave killers the possibility to play fair.
5. Of course there are scumlords, who enjoy camping. Same goes for the clickyclicky-t-bag-faction. U have morons playing killer as well as playing survivor, with the only intention, to ruin your game. If someone gets camped, just hold M1 and dont be too althruistic. Dont give a camper the pleasure to get more than one kill. Cant remember when i got camped (after all gens are done, of course, but there´s not much a killer can do except camping or at least proxy and hope to trade). Btw, playing both sides in red ranks for nealry 3k hours. Camping at red ranks is just a depip for the killer, so why should someone to this?
6. Try to play both sides to get a bett4er understanding, not only for the mechanics, but also for the complains. While playing survivor i ´m really annyoed holding M1 for 80 seconds, it´s just stupid. Playing killer i feel the vomit rising when i see toolboxes or so.
7. Last but not least: no one of us is here to appease the "other side". No DBD without killers, same without survivors. Just nerf killers a lil bit more and enjoy the lobby times ... Everyone should just remember his or her goal: fix gens and open the gate; or hunt down and kill survivors. It´s really that easy. Three objectives for two sides make a video game.

And I've never seen a game where one side was guaranteed to fail per default. Do you know the difference between a game and a movie?
