Emergency maintenance will be carried out on the Forums from 18.00hrs EDT for approximately 2 hours, there may be trouble accessing the forums during that time. Thank you for your patience.

Why?

Why does every killer run ruin? I promise it's not mandatory in high ranks. Some of these killers just don't know how to apply pressure. I'm sure none of you will agree with me since 99% of this forum are killer mains, but it's whatever. Keep your precious crutch perk.

    If I can still average 2 kills a game at red ranks with Doc and Wraith without it, then so can they.

    I don't run it cause Hex perks suck. That and I couldn't care less about generators til the last 3. And even then I don't really care. I'm not a Bloodpoint ######### so 🤷🏾‍♂️.

    Lol 2 kills, ok then, what do you run?

    Firstly, ruin saves killers at most if it's ignored in red ranks, 30 seconds, makes the difference for killers, as for pressure, ok then, great meme, most games you can't apply pressure otherwise that actually makes games harder minus the doctor, he actually can, then you have stealth killers, they won't ever be able to go that

    Secondly, Devs should fix gen speeds so killers don't have to

    people dont know how to make good faith arguments it seems.

    the real question is why ruin is still bothering people after all this time. coordinated survivors who know the numbers games of dead by daylight will blow you the ######### out if you dont have that ~30 seconds of setup time ruin grants you.

    A 2k is easy no matter what if that's all you want. Facecamp 1 person for 5 gens, NOED down another. That's why a 2k doesn't mean much at any rank.

    Bruh I can't even play a damn game without gen affecting perks without it being (timed it) a total of 2 minutes and 45 seconds, how can any killer put pressure on that? And you ask why ruin? That was without ruin, 2:45 stopped typing to do a quick SFW 2:38 both red and this killer HAD ruin, gens are too quick, and after a full actual try just now, it can be done in 2:38, 3 gens in 80 seconds (1:20) another in 40 (2:00) the last quickly after as it was being worked on by previous person in chase and continued that hit 10 seconds after 4th (2:10) near gate and that opened in 16 (2:26) we all got out with only 1 hit between us which was friend in chase on the way (2:38 cause they were a fair distance) this game is a gen repair simulator with killers as a mild inconvenience, after actually timing that though, I've uninstalled cause that depressed me about the game, I joked about 4 minutes as an exaggeration, turns out no, that is literally an understatement, that was all without toolboxes on first 3, and used on the last 2, but we had prove thyself, green toolbox, imagine if we used it all from the start, we had just under half left over, hope not too many use that, but now my survivor games are useless as we can all make chases last at least 4 minutes easy (so many loops to get you to the shack loop) so yeah, GG everyone, survivors win if they have friends, and R.I.P dbd if people learn how to work SFW out and lobby jump them every time, that's a huge part gone

    We run ruin to "Slow the Game down, Just a lil bit!"

    Some of these killers CAN'T apply pressure.

    This. I don't use Ruin often, but the times I do, it's because I don't want to blink and hear the exit just got activated. I'm not too fussed on the BP earnings for all the chases, downs, hooks, etc, but I'd like my game to at least last longer than 30 seconds. I like survivors who put up a challenge, not rush for the speed run world record.

    i'll give you a scenario. You as legion has discordance on but with no ruin, and you see 2 gens are highlighted at the beginning of the game, and they are each at the end of 2 sides of the map.

    In this case, how do you "apply more pressure" to prevent gens being done?

    (This was my real experience btw, and the game ended under 10 mins)

    Honestly, ruin is only a bandaid fix for a problem lurking under. I am able to rush nearly every killer on r1 survivor solo queue.

    Don't prepare for the drizzle. Prepare for the storm


    There are potatoes, yes. But perks and add ons aren't needed against them. Bring them for the strong survivors.

    A 2k is what the Devs go for. It's the average. 2 live, and 2 die. If I can always get a minimum of 2k a game, then I'm doing exactly as intended.

    I don't even use ruin until purple ranks. But I have been playing survivor to learn that side and enjoy playing with friends. And I see rank 16 killers running ruin, bbq and pink add ons. Why at 16?

    Imagine that, a Survivor main being biased and insulting Killer players.

    Try playing red ranks with no Ruin, no gen pressure perks since you can apparently add pressure on your own.

    Tell me how it goes. ;)

    Why don't you upload some footage of you applying pressure on red ranks without ruin then?
