Hex Totem Protection At The Start Of Trial
Hi,
I'd think someone has suggested similar thing before but if not, then here it comes:
Hex Totems should have built in protection for 1 minute (blocked by Entity) at the start of the trial to avoid them getting destroyed immediately. It maybe sounds harsh for survivors but it would do a bit and it's not balance breaking. It benefits every hex totem, naturally. Just a suggestion which isn't too unfair.
What's your thoughts? What would be cons? Etc.

So then survivors would just commit to gens and genrush instead of doing their side objective of looking for totems.
Maybe as a Hex protection perk, like Undying, Thrill, Retribution, but on the other hand... we already have plenty of 'Hex Protection' perks as it is.
Maybe we need an Iron Maiden-like perk, that applies to Hexes, and I don't mean Haunted Grounds, but rather a non-Hex perk that, when a survivor touches a totem for the first time in a trial, they scream and become exposed, and that totem becomes blocked for 10 seconds. This could trigger five times, once for each totem.

you might be onto something there

I like your ideas, although adding more perks those do not help you much and are easily counter-able isn't necessary, as we know that people won't even use them since there is a lot better perks exist. Plus they take up perks slot, so it isn't worth it.
What comes to genrushing, survivors do it anyways and you can stop them from doing gens (or slowdown), if you have ex. Ruin with 1 min protection. And it doesn't take up a perk slot.
I think you didn't get the point of this suggestion, unfortunately, so I leave this be.

Alternatively, Hex totems are disguised as dull totems for 1 minute.

I like this idea, but I'm unsure about it's execution on a few perks
Undying - you become cursed when you pass by a dull totem, with the possibility of that dull totem turning immediately into undying and then you will never get undying value from any aura reading
Haunted ground - you get cursed once the trap totem is cleansed
I don't know if I'd want devour to only appear when cursed - you can sort of suspect if a killer might have it.
But other than that I like that idea

Devour Hope would be kinda broken with this.
I like more idea that Hex totems are disguised as dull totems for 1 minute.

What if lit totems were just moved at the start of the game if a survivor spawns on the same tile as that totem?

I kinda liked that disguising idea, both works.

Corrupt Intervention
Your prayers invoke a dark power that meddles with the Survivors' chances of survival.
At the start of the Trial, the 3 Generators and 3 totems located farthest from you are blocked by The Entity for 80/100/120 seconds.

I believe that it should be the same duration as corrupt intervention. 1 minute 20 seconds. This would make hexes a bit less obsolete but the duration during this. They shouldn't be delectable by maps or perks until the timer is up as if it can be someone will always just wait on top of it and remove it then.

No, 3 totems farthest away from the killer is bad because of the RNG with the placement is horrendous.

Obviously it would but it is easy to avoid that perk by not immediately running around the map and being heavily cautious as most randoms I always have 1 person who spawns and just runs all over and immediately gets hooked in seconds. So it would be possible for this to keep a tally of hooks on devour of hope and keep it inactive until the duration of the protection is over then kicks in but it would also make people more situationally aware of the hexes with out early removal and detection protection until the timer is up.
But let's be honest this seems like the company would just be lazy and avoid this long process of coding. It would clearly have glitches were you can't cleanse them sometimes until fully worked out with no bugs.

Or they could just make all hexes look like dull totems and you know actually looking for and cleansing totems becomes a standard task for all forms of survivor groups? Risk and Reward for both the killer and survivor and personally makes Hexes from becoming obsolete due to lack of forsight when they make more perks so it's not a instant loss and onesided tilting it to the survivor's side.
