A Killer Main's POV on the Ruin Changes

Hi, so the forums are on ######### fire at the moment because of this Ruin change.

I honestly don't think it's that bad, especially if it applies Surveillance (which I honestly think would be a good idea, if it's staying as a hex perk).

There's just one thing I think should be changed: I do not believe this new Ruin should be a hex perk anymore.

I get that all of Hag's perks are meant to be hexes to fit her theme, but let's be real here. The new Ruin is less powerful than the old Ruin, and frankly its effect is not impactful enough to be a hex perk. BHVR, you should always prioritize fun and balance over consistency and lore, in my respectful opinion.

    I agree. I don't like the whole ruin change, but whatever..

    If they plan on keeping this new ruin, it cannot be a hex. It's not even worth risking a perk slot to use if it remains as such.

    I 100% agree with what you said about it not being a hex perk anymore. If survivors cleanse it, then its useless and it is not even that overpowered.


    I get why other killer mains are complaining and upset but honestly, if you can apply pressure as killer, you can still do good without Ruin. I run Demogorgon at green rank (I get matched with purple and red ranks) without Ruin and I still get 3-4Ks. To please killer mains, BHVR should increase the regression % or increase the gen repair time

    It makes no sense for it to be a Hex still, I agree.

    Btw how would Lullaby be balanced without a Hex? So after 5 hooks skill check sounds are permanently silent? Haha that would be nutty.

    It could work by making it require more tokens and removing the failed skill check penalty.

    Maybe make it even 1 more token and then I think it'd be balanced as a regular perk.

    Lullaby skill-checks aren't even that hard to hit, and as previously mentioned, I am a Killer main playing on a laptop - I have worse FPS than most people. You just have to focus on the centre of your screen. I actually rather like running it on Pig, because people stop looking around and just keep their camera still so they can react to Lullaby skill-checks. Easy grabs.

    Well, they were easy before dedicated servers.
