The second iteration of 2v8 is now LIVE - find out more information here: https://forums.bhvr.com/dead-by-daylight/kb/articles/480-2v8-developer-update

Can you add a 'Remaining Totems' count to the final scorecard?

It could be educational to any/all players, but especially newer ones who might not realize that no one was doing totems. Realizing that might encourage people to do totems again, once you change Hex: Undying.

    I remember seeing this suggestion a long time ago and of course it was met with disdain. By that logic we shouldn't know how many generators are left to complete. I think it's a great idea to also show remaining totems.

    What was the criticism? I really can't see anything wrong if this was implemented.

    All there was to it was, "it's too much information". Now, this was before bbq and allllllll of the other aura reading perks and add ons came along so it's even less valid.

    I think on end game screen it'd be nice to have info on what survivors did - totems cleanse, % gen completed, safe unhooks, time in chase.

    This will only buff survivors even more and leave killers nerfed even more. I play survivor and there should be no counter on totems left. I like running around and looking for them. We don't need a counter.

    All it's going to do is force more killers to stop killer side. We can't afford to nerf the killers anymore because lets face it there isn't many killers left according to survivors on here. Q times.

    If you read the title properly, it says **TO THE FINAL SCORECARD** , which means after the game is over so people can learn who did how many totems in the match after its been completed

    "We can't afford to nerf the killers anymore because lets face it there isn't many killers left according to survivors on here. Q times."

    All of this started when they first added the SWF feature and has only exponentially gotten worse every year. Apparently there's a contingent of gamers that can't entertain themselves for an hour so why not just bend to their will and f everyone else. I started playing in December 2016 and played both sides pretty evenly until mid-2018. It just became too much of a chore to deal with. If I used a great killer with great perks then there was flaming in the chat. I didn't always remember to turn it off either because on the survivor side they might want to add streamers or something else.

    Anyway, a live totem counter wouldn't be the problem.

    Oh, I mean only on the screen with the final scores and stuff, not like during the game. I think finding/cleansing totems is easy enough as it is.

    ~68% red rank kill rate says killers aren't likely to be more scarce due to balance. DBD has also gradually become less survivor-sided over time. Likelier causes would be console / low-end PC performance or time of day.

    Mid-game totem counters are useful for the killer too - you can know whether your NOED is still in play heading into the end of the game, for example, which can dictate which chases you decide to take. It should also passively encourage survivors to cleanse more totems than before, which is good for the killer since totems aren't gens.
