Ruin idea
So because Ruin as Hex Perk is too weak, but if it wasn't a hex perk, it would just be too strong.
The idea is, make it an automatic "thrill of the hunt" hex perk, so you get a noise, when someone is working on it and you can save it, when in range.
I think that would be a fair trade.

Its not to weak imo. Its just hard to notuce the effects without survelliance. If you pressure the gens directly often its doing a lot of work. Ive had teams abandon gens completely because of ruin.
Ruin + Survelliance + Carb + Beast Marks is an absolutely devastating combo on bubba. Its also great on legion.
Ruin is anything but weak. Imo it's definitely one of the most oppressive perks in the game. A hex perk worth the risk to be sure. Throw surveillance on and it's also the best info perk in the game too. It would definitely be a lot worse if surveillance didn't exist but because it does you can just throw surge and ruin on for the most deliciously oppressive info gathering and gen regression possible. Of course ruin will die instantly in roughly 50% of matches which is why you always need a backup plan.
If they made a nonhex version of ruin that made gens regress at 1% the usual speed I'd most definitely run it though.
Obviously you run surveillance with it, but you have to run thrill as well, or it could be gone directly at the beginning. My idea makes it just lasting longer, but it can still be cleansed.
