Has anyone started playing without Ruin?

When i play my freddy with ruin they usally pop the ruin but by then the games basically over but when i play my demogorgon it usally ends in me only getting 2-3 survivors but it might be because i haven't gotten to good at the demogorgon yet rank 12 btw

I've started playing without ruin on new Freddy after a while and honestly I haven't noticed that large of a difference, or if anything I'm doing better. Mainly because I only keep track of kill or no kill and so if I got a 4k at 5 gens or 2 gens makes no difference to me. So yeah, I've been getting the same amount of kills, or if anything more because it opens a perk slot up for something else.

It doesn't do anything sometimes, people still power through it. it's only good for taxing people who can't consistently hit great skill checks....

Sometimes, people waste time looking for it which is also a bonus. But thanks to a lot of new perks these days, you don't really need to rely on the perk anymore... Unless it's a Killer like Trapper or Hag that need time for set-ups, or Myers who needs time to get Tier ll at the start.

This made me laugh more than it should have hahaha

I usually play without it.

The thing about hex perks is they're high-risk-high-reward. It could get cleansed in a couple of minutes or 30 seconds into a match. I've played lots of games when it lasted the whole match, as a survivor player, it's not fun at all. I'm one of those rare players who actually cares about all players having fun during a match.

I prefer to use something like PGTW to regress generators and I just prefer using a variety of perks.

But this is coming from a player who cannot get beyond green ranks at the moment 😒

Never used Ruin, I prefer perks like PGTW instead, one of my favorite perks in the game, lifesaver.

Dont really use ruin unless im playing the hag and thats only really because shes only lv 12. So I have little to no other perks I can use instead of it for the time being.

So basically i dont play with ruin. I honestly prefer gen regressing perks and the likes as opposed to having to depend on ruin. Which honestly is very map dependant or totem spawn dependant. Hate gambles.

I’ve never used it before lol

I got very used to using ruin, so it feels weir to not use it.

But yes, I did stop using it in every build some time ago(still have to unlock better stuff to use in some killers)

I generally play without it on both high mobility killers, and killers that can end chases quickly, like Spirit and Demogorgon. To me, it's not worth taking a perk that may get only 10 seconds of value when I can fill that slot with a way to get more information, like Rancor. Makes the game's pace a little faster too.

Get ruin*

Barely ever use Ruin.

The difference is that when i don't use it, i don't hear thunder sounds every match.

i have literally never used it and never ever will

What I try to do is spread it, to the point where I ignore survivors if they're the newest unhook or slug them and basically refuse to chase them until I've hooked someone else; probably explains why a lot of games get down to exit gates or 1 gen left lmao.

Btw mostly experienced at around ranks 10 - 8 (w/out ruin) since they're the most fun ranks for me, but I can hit rank 1 with or without ruin (but only on Freddy lmao)

@MineAntoiya

I can play without Ruin on my Nurse or Billy.

But I prefer having it on my other killers.
