You obviously dont face 3 - 4 swf groups at red ranks mainly rank 2s. Ruin as it is now definitely buys you little bit of time to get the hooks going before getting gen rushed into 0 kills. I'd take even 30 secs of it being up to what it becomes after patch.

The only positivee thing is that everyone is sleeping on corrupt intervention which replaces ruin a lot better if you know what you are doing and choose the right killer for it. Enough said.

edit: yes devs, the ruin change is going to nullify some killers and favour some a lot as the 2nd post points out.

No, sometimes people die on first hook. Or with two hooks instead of three. Sometimes they just come to you and you don't really have to chase them (read: you're near a Survivor on hook and the other goes for an unsafe unhook).

Do you even play your own game? Oh wait, you do, seen you guys on a current Monto upload. Total potatoes having no idea facing 4 men swf teams at rank 2 means. What you say does not even happen in mediocre solo games around red ranks.

learn when to engage, as in the distance to nearest loop and survivor, push them towards weaker areas. you dont have to chase that one guy, in fact, he is already sure he can last a couple of gens because he is engaging in his terms. which means 3 chases per game ..

If I had to "balance" I would only remove insta saw addons, along with nurse's extra blinks. Knowing the time window of the saw or the amount of blinks you face is more than enough balance to good survivors and mediocre alike.

MoM is what need to vanish this kill the game for m1 killers. Base nurse is playable and highest skill cap on the game she deserve her N°1 spot. I agree on multiple blinks/omega addons.
Her purple add-ons need rework and that's it. Touching his power will kill the nurse (she will be mid-tier or even low tier knowing devs) then Billy will be the last high tier. They have plan to rework him too so if they kill him too.
Who's gonna kill SwF which the most unbalanced thing on the game. Nurse is the true one able to take them down. trapper/clown/wraith etc... why do you think we never see them on red ranks.

Against swf, the only way to balance is to extend the game time artifically by some new mechanic which might add another gen to complete, give another free hex totem, extend time to complete gens or whatever imo. They simply need to check if swf and involve swfs ranks and numbers somehow in the calculation.
