My take on boon totems
Hi,
So this is what I have concluded for myself about boon totems this far, from reading developer and mod's posts, not assumptions from furious forum members:
- Survivors can choose which totem to bless
- They can bless dull or hex totems
- Blessing will take just as long as cleansing, or longer
-> I'm assuming that the more powerful the boon effect is the longer it will take to bless
- When survivors bless a hex, the hex will be removed and/or power go off
- Boon totems work only in a certain area, assuming a radius of X meters
- The killer can hear the boon totem when they are in its area and quickly remove them
-> Assuming just a swift kick
- A survivor can only have 1 totem blessed at a time
- We do not know what they will do - yet
I see a lot of killer mains being skeptical about this, and that is totally fair. But, taking everything into perspective: Will there be a big buff to survivors? I don't think so.
Survivors need to use time to find and bless totems, which will be very situational in a specific area only. Survivors running boon totem perks will then use time they otherwise would use to repair gens.
Equipping a boon totem perk also occupy a perk slot for a meta perk, remember that!
This is why I can't see this ruining the game experience for killers. At least we need to check out the PTB first and if it is so horrible for killers I believe the developers will change it up. Do you really believe they will give killers the middel finger just like that? I don't think so.
I'm looking forward to (the possibly) best patch so far.
Thanks for reading and feel free to correct me if I'm wrong about something.
