let me tell you rationally why the ruin change is a big nerf

After the shocking of the news about the ruin change.

i want to try to let those who said like"it is a buff." "you should give it a try first" "calm down and wait for PTB"

know why ruin change hurt killer so much and why it is a big nerf.

First of all

killer NEED the old ruin.

In a match,before the first hook killer have nothing to keep survivor busy from doing gens.

So killer need to use perk to slow the gen down in early game.

otherwise even you find a survivor in 30sec and knock down them in 30SEC.

it still can be 2 gens or more done when you get the first hook.

And only 2 killer's perks can slow the early gen down.

one is ruin and one is  Corrupt Intervention .

But Corrupt Intervention isn't really slow the early gens down.

It make survivor more dangerous to do gen in early game.

so if you need to slow the early gen down.

ruin is the only choice for killer.

so if you not way more stronger than survivors so you can get your first hook very very first.

ruin is NEEDED.

second of all

new ruin is not that good.

why?

one of the reason is killer already have enough choice for the mid game slow down perk.

killer doesn't really need another mid game slow down perk

the second reason is new ruin is still a HEX perk.

If you want to let hex perk useful you need to let it work for early game.

because you can't rely your build on survivor wouldn't break it.

so even you want to use ruin as a mid game slow down perk.

it is sill unreliable.

So that's all the reason i thought that the ruin rework is a huge nerf and would hurt killer very much.

And killer is already not so fun to play now.

I hope DEV could tell the reason of the ruin change .

And not the "it is not fun to play against "one.

otherwise i would have no choice but go play something else cause i can't see the hope for this game in visible future.
