I will never kick gens as Killer
I always use slowdown that DOESN'T require me to physically kick generators.
The amount of time kicking a gen or any perk that requires you to go to kick a gen wastes isn't worth the reward.
Surge, Pain Resonance, Ruin (Undying), Corrupt, Deadlock, No Way Out, Thana all the way.

Lockdown?
Probably meant Deadlock.
Meant Deadlock lol
Did you mean deadlock?
I don’t mind kicking a gen now and then if I think it will be at least 10 seconds before a survivor comes back to it. But I mainly only prioritize if I’m running Pop or another kicking perk. (Or better yet, a combo of gen kicking perks.)
Kicking a gen with pop is worth it as long as you don't leave a chase for it. But kicking a gen without the proper perks is a borderline useless mechanic, really. It takes over 5 minutes for a 99'd gen to regress to 0. If it remains regressing for a whole minute, a single survivor repairs that again in 15 seconds, and it rarely ever takes that long for someone to come back repairing anyway.
I wish the base gen regression was increased and ruin was adjusted accordingly, but I have no hopes for it since the devs always refused to change this.
Pain resonance is now the most superior regression perk in the game.
Kicking a gen is never worth it. If you have to kick a gen, you're not bothering survivors. Or worse, they're working on a gen and you have to kick it before chasing them, which gives them a huge lead on you.
At least there are more gen perks now, Ruin isn't as mandatory.
Always hated Ruin because you're sacrificing a perk slot just to make the game playable, but Survivors have total control over it. It's too random.
Why kick a gen when you can just run NOED?
I don't mind kicking gens if I hook a survivor near them. Doesn't feel like a meaningful detour.
Kicking a gen you're patrolling is pretty pointless though. If you don't find a survivor but you do find a partially worked gen, odds are they're hiding nearby and they'll go back to it when you leave.
You kick gens sparingly. When you know everyone is healing, or something. Most times it’s better to keep pressure. I often try hooking survivors near the gens being completed. I can regress the gen and protect the hook.
