Stop complaining. Ruin makes the devs LOSE MONEY.
A new player enters the game, they don't know the totem spots, they don't know how to do ruin skill checks, they can't loop, so... they die, over and over and over and they quit the game. That's potential money lost, since he/she can't get good, he/she can't tell his/her friends "Hey! this game is awesome, you should buy it and we can play together", they don't buy new chapters, they don't buy cosmetics, etc... those are hundred or thousands of dollars lost.
Solution? Nerf ruin so you can basically play as survivor and win half of the games when you're n00b and 99% of the games when you get good.
Killer who? Just play survivor, or go play civilization or something.

Devs will lose money if killers stop playing due to not having fun. Killers will not have fun when all their matches are less than 6 minutes. Killers will look for alternatives to DbD and survivors will be playing Lobby Simulator. Survivors will get tired of Lobby Simulator and find new games. Devs will lose money.
They need to balance the fun for both sides. Catering to survivors will break the game in the end.
You know what else makes the devs lose money? Not having killers.
Game will become PvE, but it will still lose players, because there's no fun on bullying a bot that can't feel aggravated.
As things are going right now, I don't think they understand that, which is sad. They don't understand that they need an early game mechanic to buy the killer some time, or that the killers themselves are unbalanced (it takes the same objectives to defeat a wraith than to defeat a nurse) or that maybe they need to up the gen time or even add a sixth gen, or chance their core mechanics. Since that's "hard" they just tweak some perks here and there and that's it.
Ruin is not a problem in ranks 15-20 though. You're far more likely to match up with a yellow rank killer, using all of 2 perks. One of them is noed and the other sure as sh ain't ruin.
You'll be out of rank 15 by the time you have like 30 hours into the game, or even less. I see your point, but I've also seen ruin like half of the games since rank 17. If you enter the game as killer and you ask someone else which perk you should get, the first to be recommended are BBQ and ruin, so that's the main objective for every new killer.
Then they should come up with a solution that fits all partys. Just nerfing Ruin will make them lose more players and money.
Was playing on an alt with my friend who was trying the game for the first time, a rank 19 had ruin.
Not really, When i started playing this game Ruin was used a lot of matches. I used the internet to learn more about the game, watched streams and came back better prepared. If you're not prepared to do research and learn then you really should not be playing the game anyway.
