Hex ruin needs to be modified
Hex ruin is ridiculously powerful, not only it makes you loose progress when you hit a skill check, after that you can clearly see how progress also stops for a couple of seconds before you can continue getting progress, and even worst, when you are fixing a gen with someone else, and that other person hits a skill check, progress also stops for you, it is absolutely ridiculous, this perk makes the match nearly impossible to win, you need to waste a lot of time looking for the totem if you even find it at all, and now every killer is using the perk. Something needs to change for this perk and make it less unfair for survivor

Console ruin is a mess

Hey, we don't touch things that impact solos and newbies disproportionally more than veterans or swf. It's the design direction.

Small Game, Rainbow Map, Stake Out, doing totems, hitting greats. Easy counters to Ruin. I hate dealing with Ruin too, but this perk also helps Survivors learn how to hit great skillchecks, which comes in handy at later ranks.

Ruin is overrated.
Power through it and you’ll have a good time.

Console skill checks are like doc skill checks at base

Is this a bait thread?.. Ruin?... one of the most useless perks in the game.

oO
If anything I'd want Lightbringer emblem points for hitting hex skillchecks while everyone else wastes time to find the totem or messes the gen progression.

I never have trouble with console skill checks. Is PC really just that easy?
0 -
I agree but otherwise killers just get gen rushed way easier than now.

But killer mains require this crutch for their ez 4ks.
They could just apply map pressure, but nono

I don’t really have a problem with ruin when I play survivor. If you hit a great skill check then great! If not, STOP DOING THE GEN for 2 seconds after it regresses. You can’t get any progress during that time, but you also won’t risk having another skill check. Don’t waste time looking for ruin, but if you’re in a certain area, do a quick look around the area for a hex, if you can’t find one, do a gen.
Console by the way.

Ruin is a weak perk to buy the killer time against incompetent survivors. Power through it. If you have prove thyself & a buddy, ruin looks like a bad joke.

EVERYONE runs Ruin on PS4. I remember thinking it was broke when I was a new player and gradually adapting to it from "**** this I gotta search for that damn totem" to carefully gen tapping and finally "I can probably just hit the skill checks and power through." What's really awesome is I can tell the other survivors have leveled up against it too and most people know how to counter it lately. OP will get there too eventually if this isn't bait lol
What's scary now is when the killer DOESN'T have Ruin, that means they're probably running Devour Hope instead.

To be fair, Ruin is a pain in my arse too, but its not OP. You can easily use Small Game to find it (which is generally a great perk to learn totem spots).
And after its cleansed the killer has no use from it any longer.
Btw is gen tapping still a thing?

Are you having an identity crisis? This game and the forums aren't that serious.

Dumb complaint by an account with only 2 posts...
thats gonna be a yikes for me

@TheBean Ruin is not useless.

OP when he made this thread
1 -
Its almost like the perk is supposed to HELP the killers. Isn't that total BS?
It isn't like the reality of the perk is that in 60% or more matches it will be destroyed within 2 minutes.
Some people seriously deserve a GIT GUD.

I don't hate ruin.. I just hate that its in nearly every game.. That's a yawn from me.

Ruin on console in 50% of games is difficult because theres all sorts of lag and delay and framerate issues.
0 -
Lag doesn't affect skill checks. Those are all on your end.
0 -
Lag affects skill checks if YOU'RE the one lagging. Instead of the host. If your game is laggy, not just your connection, skill checks will be laggy.
0 -
I think the average time ruin stays active in the trial is maybe about 30 seconds, seems not so op then.

If you can't power through Ruin i dunno what to tell you and i love "Map pressure"
If you end up on a farm or forest map The Nurse and Billy are the only people who can pressure maps that big.
Every big map is a massive survivor crutch and love they re-added double pallets so much fun. And don't forget your nice see-through walls on the farm for not having to worry about getting moonwalked.
It's so easy to find Ruin it takes me no more than 2 minutes on any map to find it and i don't even need small game.
Or was that sarcasm? text can be hard to judge sometimes lol

Ruin is found incredibly easily. Most survivors know the spawn the locations now. Also, it's fairly easy to power through when you get the timing down.
0 -
You can work through it. I suck at great skill checks but if you get one and dont get a great let go of the repair button. You cant make progress but can still get skill checks.
