Sounds like you're not the only one:

I doubt it is just me. Despite my advocacy for killers, I am a survivor main. Hope the devs get it together. Without killers this game is dead.
Seems like this is less a technical issue and more a killer population issue. Can't imagine it's going to get any better for the next couple months with people quitting/playing killer less. Really sucks for the survivor players that wanted nothing to do with the ruin changes
Edit: And obviously sucks even moreso for the killers themselves. I used to play both roles about 50/50. If I hadn't quit a month ago, the ruin changes definitely would've made me peace out

Agree with all the points you made. I should say at the start that I've hit red rank killer (4) in the past but hadn't played much prior to halloween, so I was in purple ranks recently. Played both sides pretty equally and probably had a couple hundred hours on the ps4 version. Always instant killer queues, 10-15 minute survivor queues.
Quit playing about a month ago. Hit rank 10? Welcome to red ranks, because ps4 matchmaking will always just be rank 4 survivors from then on. I got to rank 8 before going up against all rank 2 SWF with multiple toolboxes every match... that got old really quick. I was getting genrushed and losing within 5-6 minutes WITH ruin. Some of these matches are gunna have to end in 3-4 minutes without it. It's a bad sign when I can switch to playing a soulsbourne game and find it infinitely more relaxing. If I lose there, at least I know it was my fault. Solo survivor has its own frustrations but I do think killer is so much worse right now. I have been the killer that goes AFK mid match or stands at the gate waiting for the last gen to pop. Don't want to screw someone out of an archive challenge but don't care to waste my time just to soak in all the teabags either
I've wasted too many hours on the game to not check in on the forums every once in awhile and see what's going on. For now, the game is a hundred times more fun to watch someone play than to actually play it myself. If I was ever on the fence about coming back, the ruin nerf definitely made that an easy decision. I'm pretty much just grabbing a bag of popcorn and enjoying the show now hahaha

It sounds like you just need to gen tap to check. Start the game, get a little gen progress, then let go to see if it sparks. If it does, ruin's in play. That seems... less than stellar
-
They mentioned in another thread that if you let go of a gen, you'll see the sparks start up on it without the killer kicking it. So it would seem that a survivor could just do a little gen tap at the beginning of the game to check for it 😑

I have never found another game that I had such a love/hate relationship with. I initially picked it up for 3 months, quit for 6, picked it back up for another 8, then just quit again a month ago. No plans to pick it back up. Only reason I check the forums here and there is to see if nurse is ever un-murdered and/or if some balance issues are fixed up. Nurse might still be OK on PC but she is absolutely miserable to play on ps4 now
I'm definitely not the best or most consistent player but I've gotten to red ranks with both survivor and killer. Wish the devs would take the common advice here and buff solo survivors to SWF levels, then buff killers. SWF players shouldn't be punished for playing with their friends, I agree to that. Right now though, solo players are punished for not playing SWF, and killers are punished by having to go up against SWF and get stomped on. Playing killers against all rank 2 SWF with toolboxes/map offerings every match... I would rather go feet first thru a woodchipper than play another round of that. Solo survivor definitely has its own frustrations as well. I just don't see the point in playing either side of the game in its current state. It's less a game and more of a frustration simulator for me
I'm looking forward to project resistance with re3 remake. I want to love this game but I get the feeling it will never be balanced until it has some actual competition
