All Hex builds are underrated
At the current meta and juncture all Hex builds are quite good despite they're overall lower usages (all hexes).
Since boons have taken over the meta, all Hex builds have potential to win you the game (3k & 4k) and at worst if your playing well against a strong team, a draw (2k). All Hex builds are underrrated and i must say that i misjudged Hex: Pimento specifically! I must say that i was wrong about Hex: Pimento and the perk is actually decent when paired up with other Hexes correctly.
Personally i do very well with all Hex builds and a little surprised that no one really runs them. Thrill ensures that booners take awhile to bless them which is great because its more time spent off gens. These are some Hex: builds that i've had the most success with
Nemesis
Hex: Pimento/ Hex: Plaything/Hex: Ruin/Hex Thrill of The Hunt or Devour Hope
Other Hex builds i use with various killers:
Hex: Unying/Retribution/Haunted Grounds
Hex: Undying/Retribution/Thrill of The Hunt/Devour Hope or Thanatophobia
Does anyone play all Hexes? What are your thoughts about the all Hexes meta!?

What are you talking about? Have you ever played all Hex builds because i feel like you didnt at all with that statement. Plaything is a must for Hex: Pimento therefore its the exact opposite. Numerous times i've gotten 4 stacks of Pimento and its usually gg after that. Yeah they can destroy Hex: Pimento some time after that but thats why Plaything is there, to ensure its up longer (after 4 stacks)
Plaything is in no way bad at all with all Hexes and quite good, you should try it considering if your good with killer.

I'm working on an all hex build for the Twins right now. Kind of irritated I have to buy the Artist for the one perk but that's how it goes.

All hex with Hag is one of my favorites.
Undying, devour, ruin and Haunted Ground. I call it Hex Roulette.

Nice! Let me know how it turns out ok! Im reluctant to do all Hex build with Twins for a few reasons but i may try it
0 -
I'm only trying it because it was on a list of the sweatiest builds for killers, and for the Twins it just happened to be Pimento/Ruin/Thrill/Devour

I've played this Hex: Pimento build for two weeks straight and have not lost with Nemesis once. At worst 1 escapes.
Nemesis:
Hex: Pimento/ Plaything/Ruin/Thrill of the Hunt
Its so strong! Btw speaking of Nemesis theres been an increase of Nemesis players! I go against him more than any other killer these days. Hes good but it has to be more than that.

It is probably because his addons are getting ready to be nerfed I would guess.

Yeah no more 100% movement speed zombies and instead it will be 85% movement. Im ok with that. The casuals/novices must have been complaining so the devs are nerfing some of his add-ons, go figure! lol
Mikhails Eye is really good and i've been using that along with the purple add-on, Depleted Ink Ribbon. With Depleted Ink Ribbon and Mikhails Eye, zombies be on point! They're detection range is increased by 4 meters and they're FOV is increased by 18 meters or something like that. My zombies put in work! )

Usually the most hex perks I'll ever run in a build is 3, then I'll make my last perk one that can be active/activated consistently. I typically stay away from builds with too many hexes though, cause it can sometimes be a bit overwhelming to have to manage both totems and generators.

I take what I said about the Artist back. Once I actually figured out how to work her power I'm really enjoying playing her. I can't wait to build her up more and see what she can really do with Pimento!

Overwhelming? Not if you run hexes like Retribution/Haunted Grounds/Thrill/Undying or Devour. This build alone makes it a big hinderance to boon survivors because it takes so long to bless totems whivch of course means more time spent away from repairing a generator. All Hexes are actually good, how good is debatable but you should try it sometimes

After seeing this post I did a demo all hex build. Ruin, Blood Favor, Third Seal, and Crowd Control. Ran the lifeguards whistle and placed portals at the totems. Cant say that match went particularly well, but I had fun anyways.

Hmmm in my humblest most honest opinion i dont think Blood Favor, Third Seal and Crowd Control are too good at all. In most cases the survivor is just gonna run to another loop and or vault location, so you wont get much value from the window and pallet Hexes. I was a big fan of Third Seal and yes no one likes blindness but experienced skilled survivors manage to work through it and Third Seal doesnt effect them to much and this is not including SWF whom completely counters Third Seal.
Go for better all Hex builds next time with Demo. Retribution got buffed and i cant tell you how much value i've gotten from Retribution in numerous games. Its best when paired up with Haunted Grounds but is fine with other Hexes like Undying and Thrill of The Hunt. My Hex Pimento all Hex build games have been going fantastic and i've had no complaints at all, even the games where they destroy all my totems its just a matter of closing out the kills at that point so im never in a really bad spot.
I've played with Hex: Pimento Nemesis for nearly 2 weeks straight and have not lost (I actually thought i was gonna lose a game with him earlier on Lery's and i was like thi smay be the game i finally lose but i ended up coming back with strong pressure)
Nemesis with Hex: Pimento/ Ruin/ Plaything/ Thrill of The Hunt and the zombie addons have gotten me nothing but success and ggs. Coincidenally Nemesis is my high and highest MMR killer!
Havent gotten 5 stacks but was close the other day with 4 stacks and was about to get the 5th one but they destroyed my Plaything right as i was about to rekindle the broken totem.

I misread this as overrated as was like, "right on." And now that I know the truth, all I can do is give you le sigh.

What? How can something be overrated when its hardly used, you dont make any sense..

I run an all hex build every round and for the most part it works pretty well.
1 -
A couple of days ago I used Thrill of The Hunt, Undying and Ruin. In the first 30 seconds I lost Undying and Ruin. After another 30, I lost Thrill of The Hunt...
Why do you have Hex for so long?)

Blood Favor I actually got a lot of mileage out of that match. It was Dead Dawg saloon, so it actually manged to cover a fairly large amount of pallets with each hit. Crowd Control probably wouldve been better on a map with more windows, its a huge help with LT walls. The Third Seal I know is completely countered by SWF, but its a perk I have a soft spot for so I run it anyways. Retribution likely wouldnt have worked with my build, since I was making sure to not let survivors cleanse totems. Maybe next time I'll make the last perk Devour Hope or something next time.

The thing about all Hexes is that you have to keep playing them to see the value in running a all Hex build. You may have one bad game and based off what your saying its your first time comitting to using them. Keep playing them and you'll notice that your games will get better. It really depends on what your aiming for with your all Hex build as well. First off you cant just run 3 Hexes and expect results, you need to commit to it ie have a full Hex build, thats one. Two I would combine Devour with that build!
I actually run Undying/Ruin/Devour/Thrill wih Freddy and im doing better than i do with my conventional builds with him (Scourge hooks, Pop, Corrup etc) You need the right combination. I strongly recommend using Retribution/Haunted Grounds and Thrill together as they work great. Hex: Pimento needs to be paired with Plaything for it to be effective then if you want Ruin & Thrill of The Hunt. This is my Nemesis build and i've been dominating with him for 2 weeks straight with not one loss. This is also mostly in part to the fact that i run Nemesis cheap add-ons and i ditch Marvins Blood, which most people use and instead use Depleted Ink Ribbon and Mikhails Eye so my zombies are preficient and so while they're cleansing or even booning my Zombies are there to interrupt them which i can imagine is super annoying to the survivor(s) then if they are on it its taking awhile to cleanse. I must admit too that i dont think all Hex builds are good on certain killers like Hag but thats just my opinion, i think she does better with non Hex builds like MYC, Corrupt etc.
Who are you using atm?
Retribution is actually one of the best Hex perks and i certainly will go well with your builds! Lets face it, your not gonna be able to defend totems every game so although Blood Favor and Crowd Control will work for you initially, it probrably wont in the longrun because the survivors will power through the gens anyway, depends on how good you are at pressuring. When i tried Blood Favor and Crowd control all the survivors did was hold run to a loop that wasnt effected by either so i dunno, i probrably will never use those Hexes again or maybe very rarely but i've been having so much success in games without them that i dont see myself switching to weaker Hexes
