Totem and Map layout

So i know totems are still spawned next to gens and alot of obvious places. Can i ask, Why do they never spawn on the perimeter of the map or map corners?

    Survivors tend to spawn near the edges of the maps and will often run along them too to avoid being spotted by the Killer and such, so that's most likely why they don't spawn there. But yeah it'd be nice if they spawned a little more hidden, like the ones that spawn inside the lip of the weird wooden walls and are nestled in there a bit, I think there should be a good amount of blocked view for Totems so they can be missed if someone isn't specifically looking carefully.

    I get that but often there are rocks and structures with little nooks and crannys i think it be harder to spot than 5 feet from a gen

    100% agree, I remember when I tried to run NOED and it spawned onto a totem that was maybe 7 or 8 metres from one of the exit gates in the pallet wall structure. Felt bad x.x so for sure there are definitely more hidden spots that are also further away from Genies that they could be spawning, I'm in agreeance here x3

    I agree. I feel like they should have something dimming them and the candles, like a black worn cloth that lets a bit of light through or the dark swirls that are in the blood web when the entity consumes nodes obscuring it a bit
