PSA: Don't grab a survivor off a gen while Ruin is active.
Apparently there's a bug going on right now where if you grab a survivor off a gen while ruin is active, Ruin will not start regressing the gen and you wont be able to kick the gen to manually regress it.

Good thing gen grabbing is impossible. :) I was worried for a sec there.
Not when you play Spirit, Wraith or Myers lol I get them all the time.
You can grab people from gens!? I thought I was just patting their shoulder, reminding them to run from me.
You wanna write up a bug report about this?
I've been using Surveillance and Trail of Torment on my Plague to get those lovely gen grabs. Using Black Incense lets me route just right.
Already did, just letting the masses know that if they do somehow get a grab.. lol
Actually is better to grab people out of a gen unless its almost complete since you are bypassing a chase that can last several minutes.
But man, the gen doesn't regress and you can't make it regress by doing so. You cock yourself especially if the gen is almost done.
Yes that why I put "unless its almost complete".
But if you have ruin, especially with surveillance, the information you get later from it is worth taking a chase. Especially when it's a single chase because if you can grab them you can hit them.
Nobody expects a killer as tall as plague to gen grab them, making them less aware.
Still, if the gen is at like 40% picking someone up can save you a ton of time, the gen stays at 40% and it still will take 45 seconds to a single Survivor to fix it, more than enough time to check on it and chase them away, on the other part now they have to unhook someone and heal him which takes more than 45 seconds. Even with the first free hit an injured Survivor can loop a Killer for a lot of time if you are not very good and the tiles benefit him.
The information Surveillance gives doesnt really matter in this situation, you picked someone near a gen and you are going to hook him near said gen, the very moment someone gets close to it they will first unhook, giving you the information someone is there, noone is going to fix a 50% progressed gen before an unhook.
At the same time if you're down to the last 1-2 gens and this happens, you cant regress it until another survivor touches it.. so you're either forced to camp the gen or walk away and risk losing it.
Like I said, depends on the %, if its too high you might risk a chase and let Ruin regress it faster (though it will probably get finished by anyone else before you end it) if its low you will have time to check on it since you have only 3 or 4 gens to patrol and someone still has to go for the unhook, putting 2 Survivors out of gen working.
