Devs, good luck
A message for mostly the devs; good luck.
This is the first 24 hours that you announced that ruin is getting nerfed,and the community is in chaos.
I can see devs and mods trying to calm the spirits down,but it doest seem to be working.
And everything you just saw and heard from the community,both in forms of forums and videos is just the tip of the iceberg.
You are going to have a rough week,so I just say good luck.
I know you knew that this would happen,and I know how much you think the new ruin is awesome and balanced but most of the community is off to war.

I cant believe they nerfed a hex perk that can be cancelled out.
Thats insane.

They need to start giving killers positive attention of they’ll kill their game, they already have been killing it. Survivors will have longer wait times so long they’ll stop wasting their time too.

From what I've seen so far the Devs have only fan the flames.

Closer to 20 than 1 :)
But joke aside, the long waiting times for survivors are when you reach red ranks. Because as survivor it isn't that hard to pip when you get somewhat decent at the game. Don't take this as an insult but you will see what i mean sooner or later.
I currently wait up to 20min with a full 4man.

They could just acknowledge the one and only actual killer concern, but so far they have only solved survivor side problems with it.
I think that is what is causing all this, it feels like one side is being entirely alienated.

This storm is of their own making.
They could just address the concerns on the forums easily by creating a thread answering them. They don't.
They could go to a couple threads answering them. They don't.
They could answer the big questions instead of going into threads and answering the random guy that said they don't play the game with "Yes I play, I stream it". They don't.
They are alienating the players, which they do at all the changes they decide to make. Ignore the big things and answer tangential questions mostly unrelated.
Do I thinks it's peanits and other devs on the forum fault? No. They probably aren't allowed to just freely talk about everything. But is it a terrible system? Yes. Absolutely. They just fuel the fire by doing this.
So it's time they harvest what they sowed (don't know if that's how the saying goes, don't wanna look it up)

Not sure how that is valid to the point that was made. They said "WIll" make the queue times longer, future tense. For every killer that stops playing, 4 survivors will have longer queue times. 100 killers quit, 400 survivors will have to wait longer. It would be even worse if the killers just transitioned to survivors, simultaneously reducing the number of killers and increasing the number of survivors.

Wait what. I've seen the devs all day today in forums answering a lot of people.
Have you tried answering the same questions over 80 times? It's tiring.
All the threads recently are pretty much the same... Salt with no constructive Feedback.

The issue is that they don't really. And they know this. The number of people that are new to this game and choose to play Killer is likely insignificant. And those who are long time Killers will ######### about these changes, threaten to stop playing, and then go back to playing Killer and finding new ways to win. They know exactly what they are doing. They need new people willing to play this game, invest in the DLC, and stick around long enough.
I can almost guarantee that the mentality of those who are good at playing Killer, means it's highly unlikely this will make that many people stop playing Killer. And again, this is something they know and are taking advantage of.
Hex: Ruin was an extreme punishment for new players. Their MM is already broken. During the time everyone was trying to finish their challenges, my GF and I started playing. I created a new Account. We were both Rank 20. Every single game had T3 Hex: Ruin, BBQ, NOED and Phobia/Nurses. How in the hell is that fun?
They really need to make the game change based on Rank. That would have fixed everything.

I've seen them answering the same questions over and over.
How they do play the game.
How ruin has sinergy with surveillance.
How they want us to play the ptb before giving our opinions.
How currently ruin negates surge and pop.
You know what I haven't seen?
Them answering why they changed ruin from a strong early game to a strong late game perk. (Which is also a hex, so there's no late game to be had)
Why they didn't address the reason killers actually use ruin, no, it isn't because of gatekeeper.
Why they didn't address why it's frustating to play AS doctor and only focused on survivors.
How the 3 benefits they put on the new ruin are only benefits for survivors.
You know what else I saw?
Them going into threads asking these very important things to address, only to not answer them. Instead they answer jonhdoe35 that pop doesn't work with ruin.
Yes there's a lot of negativity, but several threads have genuine questions and concerns by the person who made them. But they aren't getting answers. And that just creates more negativity

LOL people are crying .

I'd be patting myself on the back for a job well done, ignoring what people say and will make no changes because I "totally expected" this outrage and chaos. D:<

Yeah try to play survivor at red ranks and you will have to wait atleast for 15 min
