I suppose I can’t argue with that. Your points aren’t wrong either. Though I still believe that Hex: Ruin should be reverted that’s not to say that waiting to see if it improves is a bad idea. It very well could, as many kinks and concerns alike are ironed out within patches. I personally liked Ruin better how it was and find the perk to have been more quintessential then as opposed to now. However, your view on waiting for closer examination is rational and fair. Time will tell and we shall see. Thank you for your input by the way, it is invaluable as well as appreciated.

So, I'm sure that there have probably already been many requests on this already, but hear me out. The soul purpose of Hex: Ruin is to slow generator progress, however, I feel that it no longer accomplishes that. I feel that now it is far too easy to be gen-rushed because of the change.

Survivors can now take advantage of the system. While the Killer is distracted Survivors are able piggyback a Generator until completion. Before, the Perk slowed generator progression enough that it bought the Killer precious time where it was needed. Now, it seems as if that time is wasted unless the Killer guards a generator which seems unfair to both parties.

Furthermore, Survivors can simply jump to another generator if that does happen, applying pressure to the Killer when it should be the other way around. Killer's should be the ones applying pressure to the survivors. Killer's are limited to generator protecting while also focusing on trying to Hook/Kill survivors which consumes enough time. Whereas survivors have numerous chances with multiple Gate Doors, Hatch, and Toolboxes to help them along the way.

Additionally, generator reduction is a saving grace for Killer's and I firmly believe that the updated Perk does not accomplish this. A Killer can only be in one chase at a time; so while they are distracted with one Survivor that opens up the opprtunity for other Survivors to spam a generator that the Killer is desperately trying to regress.

Moreover, some survivors may think that reverting it back would be unfair or perhaps too overpowered, however, you could always cleanse the Hex: Ruin Totem in order to administer balance to the game. Now, it just seems unfair to Killers because of consistent gen-rushing. I don’t know about the rest of the community, but personally I think that Hex: Ruin was fine the way it was and that the change was unnecessary. What do you guys think? Should Hex: Ruin be reverted back?

True but devs could change the story easily and could even keep the cloak and top hat look since no one actually ever saw Jack's clothes so we do not really know what he actually wore. Change the lore to make it kinda like Ghost face with the murders but make sure no one actually saw him in his lore until maybe the end where cops were gaining on him but I'll save that for later until we can decide who could actually have a better chance to be in the game. Also some of the killers are based or have similarities of real people but we ignore it for a lot of good reasons and enjoy the movies or video games that are horror genre gives us all the time...the chills and thrills. Then we could add a survivor with him that is not related to him in real life but in Dead by Daylight lore like a investigator or Sherlock Holmes type survivor. We could not make him human anymore after the Entity found him. We could have him wear the same top hat, clothes, maybe some gloves and now he is a shadow demon which makes his face covered in shadows so no one can find out his real identity and maybe some shadow related powers. There are many ways to change him but keep his looks and his name Jack the same with out changing everything about him so the Devs can actually consider doing that without worrying about the real Jack.

That is extremely true and he is a mystery which makes him a great option for a killer because there is so much that can be done with him. Also we can make a backstory up for him to make it a lot more interesting and heck maybe make him a shadow demon since he always did hide in the shadows and would be something that the Entity would do to make it's realm a bit more entertaining.
