Bad Ideas for Boon Totem

I don't know what a boon totem will be, so I decided to share two very bad ideas

Boon Totem: 1 (no name idea)

You can bless a totem once in the game. After blessing the totem, attacks that would take you from a healthy state to a dying state will put you in a deep wound state. The totem's aura will be hidden from killer for 50/55/60 seconds. Each other boon totem: 1, reduces time by 10 seconds.

Boon Totem: 2 (no name idea)

You can bless a totem once in the game. After blessing the totem, it will take 3 hits to knock you down. Totem aura will be visible to killer within 16/14/12 meters. Each other boon totem: 2, increases aura by 1 meter.

    Ooooh! I was reading this a totally different way. As in, actually BAD ideas!

    Boon Totem: Be Better! You’re new at this. You try blessing the totem but fail. The totem explodes and injures you. The now ignited totem grants the killer a random hex.

    This thread just gave me an idea

    So you know how killers have trap hex totems? Introducing:

    Boon totem: Bone mine

    If a killer tries to snuff this perk out, it explodes like a flashbang and stuns them for 3 seconds. Then it's permanently deactivated

    Boon Totem 3: Gg Ez

    Approach a totem and press the Active Ability button to immediately kill the Killer and escape the match with 32k BP.

    Boon Totem 4: Discord

    Approach a totem and press the Active Ability button to set up a Discord call with 2/3/4 other Survivors. Increase your chances of surviving by 200%/300%/400% and increase the Killer's misery by 200%/300%/400%.

    I like it! Very useful for protecting the good boons that the killer will be in a hurry to destroy.

    For example:

    Boon Totem: Misdirect - Bless a totem. As long as it is lit, any stack that the killer earns for a perk is instead applied to a random applicable perk on a random survivor. If there are no survivor perks that take stacks, the killer is still denied all stacks until the boon is destroyed.

    NGL, this actually sounds good, but could be really strong in the hands of SWF.

    I agree! Might be OP, but then again, all the killer has to do is break the totem (I assume). But yeah prolly OP.

    Still, imagine this scenario: you suddenly become exposed - devour hope - and your buddy is going up on the hook. On your way over to the save, you stop and bless a totem. You may still be exposed, but now you can rescue without feeding those crucial last stacks to Devour! You pull off the rescue and surprisingly hear your Mettle of Man earn its final stack. Sweet!
