Ruin is op for rank 10 and above

Ruin is too op for the noob ranks. People cant hit skill checks there and they don't know how to move efficiantly. They just walk at the edge of the map doing nothing. I just had a game where i looped the killer for 3min and no gens done cause of ruin.

Pls nerf or remove ruin on ranks 10-20. Takes away the fun there.

    The problem is they just walk or crouch on the edge of the map where they never find the totems

    Speaking for someone who plays casually in the noob ranks. Ruin actually helps me with skill checks.

    I've played more recently with the tome thing, and honestly because of all the ruin that I run into I've gotten better at skill checks.

    So yes, ruin sucks those first hundred times you run into it, but it's actually just teaching players to be better at skill checks.

    Happens on red ranks as well. Solo survivor can be a frustrating experience sometimes. There is no way around it: If your random teammates kill the fun for you, you have to play SWF.

    we need a reverse spine chill for totems, lights up when you are looking at a totem at a maximum distance of 12/18/24 metres, only works through walls in a 45degree cone, it deactivates for 20/15/10 seconds when it is lit for more than 3 seconds, and ill call it "totem sniffer" the writing below the perk will be, "there are some that have attained a scent for those foul totems, but dont linger on it too long, it is always watching"

    Ruin is great, it's a hex so it can be removed and punish those on high ranks that fail a great skill check, they do deserve it, they should be OP by rank 3 at least and that's me giving some slack, what the issue is, is that because of high ranks being so good hence high ranks, gens are done at stupid times without ruin, stupid times with it but not as bad, but the only way now to play dbd as a killer is to destroy gen times cause they're done at hypersonic speeds, I'm not even speaking as a killer main but a survivor main, killers are run down so much and has dulled the game, Freddy, cannibal, hill Billy, pig, Myers and ghost face (just) are all that's left for the killers until rank 1-6 where all that remains to have a decent chance is Freddy, Myers, cannibal and hill Billy and that's with dying light, save the best for last, thanatophobia and ruin not cause the killers are bad, but cause being a survivor is easy, why is the killer at our mercy?

    I recently started playing survivor so im in that 10 above category. I actually like when going up against a killer with ruin. Because i can practice skillchecks. Or practice my hex totem hunting.

    I thought having played killer for years itd be alot easier to find hex totems now that im playing survivor, boy was i wrong. By that i mean that its really not hard to find a bright glowing hex totems in most maps.

    If you want to get rid of the most unfun things in the game, start with Ruin. Looking for ruin and performing any kind of skillchecks are not my idea of fun.

    Find the Ruin yourself then. If they still move along the edge of the map then they're probably new players and scared, which you just have to deal with.

    You can power through a gen even missing every skillcheck. But its a good way to learn how to properly skillcheck so cool.

    tbh at rank 1 I wish killers had ruin so I can make enough emblems in the objective category

    Don't be in those ranks then

    When I read the title I thought it meant Rank 1-10.

    Of course Ruin is powerful in low ranks, It's a crippling effect that is damaging to new players.

    Just run small game and blast the hex

    If you don't, you can still tap the gen. It' s slower but safe.

    Leave ruin as is please. People will not learn if they are hand held and bottle fed.

    I second this, it's helped me to hit greats much more consistently instead of me hitting them early and causing an explosion

    But Ruin is great skillcheck + totem spawn location Boot Camp. I wouldn't be nearly as good as I am at hitting greats or finding totems if it wasn't for Ruin.

    Thanks Ruin! 😄
