Small Game should increase cleansing speed for each token

The Small Game change was a nice addition to an underused perk as well as giving survivors a totem counter. However, the effect for each token is kinda underwhelming, only narrowing the detection radius to better look for totems.

I think that the tokens should also increase the cleansing speed of totems by 10% for each token. This would reward the team cleansing dull totems as well as make the perk stand out to Detective's Hunch, which also finds totems in addition to gens. Thrill of the Hunt decreases cleansing speed so it makes sense to have a perk that does the opposite.

I think that this simple change would encourage more people to pick this perk, and thus encourage more people to cleanse totems.

    I was literally thinking this yesterday

    There should either be a perk that speeds up totem cleansing, or it should be added to small game.

    Hex perks are already pretty much trash that get cleansed within 30 seconds. Why would you make it faster for Survivors to cleanse them?

    Cool idea but honestly, cleansing speeds are fast enough. Even at 4 tokens, you're only shaving 4 seconds, which is nice but not really all that impactful.

    This right here. This is the reason why cleansing speed buffs kinda suck. Even if you increase cleansing time requirement by 50%, you're still only taking 21 seconds to cleanse which is basically a quarter of a gen
