Totem Spawns on New Maps

Impact

It's good that totem spawn locations have been changed to make them more difficult to find. However, some of the spawn locations on the re-worked maps (Badham Pre-school) are often too difficult to find.

I like the idea of having totems within an alcove. It's fine to cover them from three sides, such as a 'C' shaped alcove (such as a hedge). However, I've seen totems deeply recessed within an alcove so they're effectively covered from more than three sides - like 3 and a half or more sides.

I play killer and survivor equally, so I like to think my viewpoint is balanced. I personally think they should be located away from objectives and fairly difficult to find: such as behind a tree along the edge of the map (like in the swamp maps). I should be able to see it when I pass it, even from a reasonable distance.

It's easy to miss the totems on the re-worked maps, even if you walk, and especially run, right past it. With everyone running hex perks, I almost feel forced into using Small Game or Detectives Hunch every game.

Yeah I feel like the new totem spawn on badham is pretty crazy now, like unless you're really really unlucky the totem usually last for more than half of the game, I have had so many game on that map where no survivor have been able to find the ruin
