Ruin/undying may be gone but devour hope/undying is going to be so much worse

Now instead of a 1/2 drain on gens for a full game we have a guaranteed 32 second instadown and mori

With hex thrill of the hunt this goes up to 41 to 57 seconds with notifications on activation

    On a side note this will be most useful on Wraith, nurse, hag, Freddy, spirit, and deathslinger.

    People will probably run Undying, HEX: Devour Hope, Pop Goes The Weasel and BBQ.

    Match will be pre-undying slowdown meta (minus Corrupt) until you hit 3 stacks then you get your devour-hope progress AND your pop goes the weasel gen regression more quickly via instadowns unless people stop pumping out gens to get the totems out of the way which again functions as a slowdown.

    If it is not an indoor map, both totens will probably be gone before you can get the exposed status effect, and then you will play a game with 2 perks

    As strong as it is totems are usually easy to deal with it's just the effect on the main gameplay that was the issue for most I'd assume but to me the threat of this is kind of thrilling honestly

    I think you are overestimating this combo. Sure you can have success with it, but undying/devour is not better than thrill/devour and how many do run it?

    The triple combo with undying/devour/thrill could be interesting, but you need 3 hooks for it to work. Obviously it will work against bad teams and you get a nice mori to end the match, but bc of the 3 hooks i think its weaker than old ruin/undying against good teams and bad killer cant use it well.

    Don't worry. If enough survivors find that combo annoying, the devs will remove the transfer of stacks.

    Corrupt, PGTW, Undying and Devour Hope will likely be the new "meta."

    Is to early to be sure of new meta. For some killer like huntress undying/ruin is good. Nurse and spirit with devour/undying in papers sound strong
