Was fully under the impression that this new ruin would be absolute crap and only useful on killers like Billy who can zip across the map. After watching a monto video however...i decided to try emulating his build and found it to actually work pretty well. I dont know if its the fact that your saving time not having to kick a gen, or the simple fact of being able to know which gen needs your att16 comments 382 views last activity

So usually when one thinks about a toolbox, there usually is some pieces of equipment in them like wrenches, hammers, etc. What if when it comes to regression with perks like Ruin, what if you had an option to place an add-on to your tool box that would give a secondary action on a toolbox that will prevent the generator from regressing but have the consequence of having to leave either a chunk o0 comments 1 views last activity

Currently watching the Q&A, and it's really showing how little they care about issues and have such a strong bias towards survivors. The old version of ruin had very passive gameplay. It just did stuff and you didn't have to interact with it. Uhhh... how about Borrowed Time, Adrenaline, We'll Make It, and many other perks? Just because you don't have to interact with a perk doesn'1 comments 61 views last activity

Whenever I play against GhostFace he's really frustrating because you can look at him and he just runs at you and you can't do anything unless you run away or throw a pallet. His breaking out of stealth is better than it used to be but I swear whenever I play whatever role it's always working against me. I think it's not a stretch to say that GhostFace is OP overpowered and he's just unfun to p26 comments 742 views last activity

One of the most popular builds to run as killer is the basement build which includes the 3 main perks: Agitation, Iron Grasp, and Mad Grit. However, the 4th perk varies. With the possible ideas of basement sacrifice challenges, I think killers should further strengthen their chances of completing these possible challenges. When this challenge occurred in the previous archive, I'm sure factors lik0 comments 151 views last activity

I know there are so many threads about this topic already but just thought id throw my two pence in aswell and ask the devs please for the love of god stop pushing for money at every single turn and fix what needs to be fixed first. Doesnt matter what rank im at, EVERY SINGLE MATCH is like this and im not gonna lie, it makes me want to stop playing the game. Im an ok killer but being matched wit14 comments 91 views last activity

Unless they run corrupt intervention, which is counter intuitive to add more variety to builds. What can a killer do if the survivors hammer away at 3 gens on the other side of the map while you chase a survivor? You can't just give up chase to go kick a gen or scare people off it , that just trades pressure on one survivor to another as its more than likely that injured survivor will just h25 comments 241 views last activity

One of the key reasons stated by the Devs behind the ruin change: "1. The passive nature of the gameplay pressure it provides means that there is a huge amount of potential with very little effort or risk on behalf of The Killer. " Keys - an item you bring that, to use for 2 people, only requires 3 gens be completed. This is very reasonable considering gen speed big, maps, 4 survivors (who if t0 comments 21 views last activity

What they've stated toward the insane gen speed since we have poor stall mechanics out of the old Ruin? (exept for the Pig maybe)0 comments 21 views last activity

So in the QNA stream the devs mentioned they probably wont buff gen slowdown perks because they are afraid of them being stacked and abused. I had an idea. What if they made a 5th perk slot for killers that was specifically for gen slowdown perks and thats where they go. If you decide to bring a gen slowdown perk then it will disable one of the original perk slots so you cant bring 5 perks. With1 comments 21 views last activity

Since the Ruin change came out I've been playing without it . At first I was not a fan of the change what so ever . I was quite angry that they changed it actually. But after playing hours and hours without it I've come to realize that I dont need it (yes I tried it with clown on ormond) and although it's really hard to play without it I really enjoy it . I was getting bored of the game but no2 comments 41 views last activity

The issue with you not winning isn't ruin or gen speed. It never was. It's you. You've just become so accustomed to the failure of survivors (As in you'd get matches where ruin was clutch only because survivors never learned to adapt to ruin) that you've yet to adapt to anything else and try any other strategies. So many killers have complained that ruin was always gone within the first 30 second94 comments 2,211 views last activity

As survivor, is ridiculous that after you actually survived, you get no rank progress or even lose progress. Is not the survivors fault that the killer did bad, and never found you, or never hooked anyone so you can get unhooking points. And come on, isn't surviving the main objective here? So if you do that, how come you get nothing. Same for killers, is not the killers fault if survivors do ba2 comments 31 views last activity

Most hexes become stronger/active when the killer is more active, or towards the end with NOED that punishes survivors for neglecting the dull totems via gen rushing. Ruin? You penalize ALL survivors off the bat by forcing them to do great checks that are now normal checks. Normal checks REDUCE progression. The amount of toxicity I’ve seen from this astounded me. There’s is no work involved with0 comments 21 views last activity

2 mins in 3 gens gone, 1 hook 2 chases, basically GG. Gens are way too fast now. What is the point of playing killer at all now? I play mostly survivor now anyway because killers are insanely weak. Why is this game so survivor sided? Have many people decided to stop playing killer lately?48 comments 691 views last activity

Both perks require totems. Both of them don't require killers to do anything. Why everyone is fine about Ruin but so hateful towards NOED? Like, I know people say NOED is the crutch perk but noone says the same thing about Ruin.49 comments 1,772 views last activity

It's such BS. The point of his marking is SUPPOSED TO BE that he stalks you. You don't know he's there. So how is it you can run from him for 3 minutes, drop a pallet on him and while you're staring him in the face he marks you? I have tried EVERYTHING to break the mark. Looking at him with his face center screen. A little up to the left, a little up to the right, down, side to side. HOW THE63 comments 4,732 views last activity

All of the fun is just slowly being sapped out of playing Killer. I mained killer, but I just can't anymore. You take away the bandaid fix that was Ruin, and don't do anything about the absolutely massive maps and gens being done immediately. It's too stressful to keep pressure and juggling 4 people at once and consistently win chases without 2 gens being done as well. I'm starting to see why so1 comments 51 views last activity

...to just breathe. There's so much frustration and anger going around about these changes, and I think it's just one big group mentality of people hopping on the "they killed the game" bandwagon. No, they didn't kill the game. From my survivor perspective: "Queue times are so long now, killers are camping/tunneling/using NOED more/ so much more now, etc.." I sit around rank 4/5 and my queues h53 comments 781 views last activity

Has anyone else noticed that since Ruin was changed this emblem is weird now? No matter how well I do and how many gens get done, if I die I get a bronze due to the games going so quick. Has this been the case for anyone else? Or am I just bad?0 comments 71 views last activity

Devs you could host a fan art contest best pieces for each character get put in the game and we can set some as art to be viewed while loading into game instead of the black background. Totally not because I want to gawp at Feng art in game.1 comments 81 views last activity

Recently in short I feel the only way this game will be fun for everyone is if instead of perks being counterbalances to mechanics or being the key to success..I like good perks but it's way more fun for both sides if the killer actually has a presence in the game...yet when asked about secondary powers for additional killers it was briefly dismissed atm...devs..so what your saying..is your plann0 comments 41 views last activity

Try to guess what I'm talking about? No it isn't ruin. Not the old animations. Not killers being OP. Not NOED being just a straight perk and not a hex. Two words: Disconnection Peanalty. When are we gonna get these things back? And preferably working this time.

Is nobody gonna talk about how amazing Oni is now that they fixed his turn speed while using his demon dash attack? You can damn near 360 in one spot while charging it up now. I loved Oni and his design and the idea behind him but didn't play him cause he seemed impossible. I've been playing him all day now and he definitely is a killer now that can keep map pressure with the ruin changes and eve4 comments 91 views last activity

If you start to see your playerbase drop or an increase of sweaty/toxic plays or an increase of players throwing games, from the killers, after the changes go through with ruin...

You killers keep winning "oh ruin was our only chance to get a hook before a gen popped"....and "how dare the developers be survivor sided"...you know why ruin got nerfed? Not just because of new survivors. It got nerfed because this game is balanced around killers getting a 2k each game not a 4k and even then, if you aren't good you're not getting a 2k. The Gen speeds are not a valid concern as41 comments 1,791 views last activity

If you're having trouble with q times I've been playing xbox and have used this throughout most ranks. Survivor by day, killer by night. During the day I'll play survivor and Q up within 1-2 minutes. Once 6pm hits I move to killer, Q up in 1-2 minutes. I've never had an issue with Q times once I started doing this. Warning! Usually when playing killer at night you mostly get SWF groups.

After playing the patch and watching the stream I've come to a realization, the game will never be balanced. Ranking This may seem like a broad or irrational statement however I have many reasons to say this, matchmaking is one of the main or even only issues of why. I say this because matchmaking doesn't define skill or ability, It doesn't matter if as survivor your in a 4 man swf with 40 comments 21 views last activity

U spawn. Instant TR, killer spotted u the first second and the chase starts. "oh ****, here we go again..." Running the killer for 3 minutes already. No gen popped. Running the killer for another 2 minutes, super efficient, just 2 pallets used. Random team mate camps pallet, throws it down for no reason and destroys ur loop. Killer downs you. Killer hooks u. Killer is NOT camping you. Tea2 comments 31 views last activity

We have accepted the unwritten rules of the game to make everyone have as much fun as possible, but now everything has changed. It's time for killers to unite! They only want survivors to have fun and no stress, well enough is enough! From now on: 1: Facecamping, camping, tunneling, slugging..play as you want, do as you want. 2: "Blame Ruin nerf" this is the only message to give complaining an44 comments 1,631 views last activity

Everyone should be aware of the trend of an influx of new players around new chapter releases and mid chapter patches including a rework or significant gameplay change. Current players remains here or there abouts at 22k which is still really good, a lot of people play this game no matter what.
