Simple Ruin/Gen Speed Fix?

So generally everyone seems to agree that gens get done too fast, and that ruin is annoying as hell pre-nerf. How about something like this? As basekit, all generators progress 20% slower for the first 90 seconds of the match? Then the slowdown goes away. Make ruin do something else entirely. Gets rid of the annoyance of being forced to either hit great skills checks ornfind a totem, and helps with the gen rush?

    the average kill-escape ratio is 2/2, all you want is an easy 4K, just get good and apply pressure instead of crying

    What a brilliant one sided response. I dont want an easy 4k, you've clearly never played killer

    Genspeed is fine. Maps are the problem.

    If you slow down gens, killers will just get more kills and then it’s imbalanced 🤷🏼‍♂️ 2/2 is a fine ratio

    The stats response never really struck me as good information to base an argument off. We're playing in a time where literal rank 20s can play at a rank 1 match with ease, just by SWF'ing with a rank 1 survivor. Therefore, most matches have a heavy range of skill levels that can influence the match in either the survivor's or killer's favor, which isn't a balance issue. It's a ranking issue.

    i think nerfing the perks and toolboxes that increase gen repairs or add it where medium/ large map takes longer to do gens lm leaning more towards the first one as these can be stacked by 4 but if it still going to where three gens in be pop in less than 3 minutes then the map one would be next idea.

    My point is really that by nerfing ruin they are telegraphing that ruin sucks, which I agree with. The problem is the majority of the killer roster needs something to slow down the early game. People can act like idiots and say good killers can get around it. That's bull #########. Yeah you can 4k without it, and you can get destroyed with it. The point is in general gens get done too fast unless you're one of what 3 killers? 4 if you include nurse. So how about we slow them down JUST A LITTLE BIT early game, without pissing everyone off with ruin and turning off new or less skilled survivors.
