Meta Perks

So, question. I'm sure that has already been asked many times. Why are the staple survivor perks, Decisive strike, sprint burst, borrowed time, unbreakable, Dead Hard and Iron Will, Spine Chill and Adrenaline, We'll make it, and finally Self-care is fine and legit, but there is a shocking amount of outrage for Undying and Hex Ruin? I'm a killer main. I'll be honest I don't run them. But I do find every survivor I come across runs a mix of the above. So why is one set ok and the other is not?

    4 times as many people that run DS Unbreakable means the complaining about Undying Ruin is 4 times as loud as the complaining about DS Unbreakable

    I love ruindying because it means the killer has two perk slots dedicated to totems! It also keeps me alert because I need to focus on the gens and I find that working in teams helps a lot because the killer can only chase one person off a gen at a time. And honestly I don't find meta perks to be a bother at all. Sprint burst is great for getting ahead of the killer since killers move faster than survivors, and soul guard is wonderful and allows you to get up from getting slugged with a deep wound timer!! I think many meta perks are awesome and allow you to fight back. A lot of people are upset with ruindying probably think it's an annoying hex (which it is but that's okay lol!) because you have to spend time as a team finding totems.

    I just find that the level of hypocrisy in our community is astounding at times. People love to throw stones in their glass houses,

    I think thr issues are perk build. I never looked at a meme build with ds as insurance and thought of course they run that meta perk

    The main complaint is survivors don't wanna run around the map playing cleanse the totem when they could be on gens. I've been running all Hex builds since Clown's release and it's literally the same complaint in post-game chat. However, survivor meta hasn't changed much since new survivor perks aren't A or S+ tier on there own. They all require some kind of condition like Deliverance, Soul Guard, and Power Struggle.

    True. But survivors always complain that they want more to do in-game besides gens. I would think totems are something else besides gens. Like I do play a fair amount of survivor and to cleanse totems. People need to climb down from the cross and just do them, It's not that hard. Run small game. gasp if that happens I won't be able to run one of my other meta perks.
