š A Boon got me killed
Just had another game where I could tell the killer had noed (he was playing really noed like, ie whiffing a lot, trying to hard tunnel, etc) and I started doing totems. Iāll paint the scene.
I saw the last totem on a hill after searching about 2 minutes (I use the four corner + middle strat and it works every time) and we were down to 1 gen. I smiled. We were going to have a four man out. Then all of a sudden I spot a Yui running towards it, and boom, my teammate booned it. I screamed in agony, clicking my flashlight and shaking my head no as she blessed it.
She didnāt understand š¢.
He was a doctor who missed all of his shocks, he was going to have noed. Probably green, probably in the first or second slot. Not a last minute, hmm Iāll add noed doctorāno, a definite noed is my first perk because Iām not good at playing doctor yet and still want to kill someone doctor.
I got chased away, started looping, then all of a sudden the killer left. I was like word?? Thatās not good. Then I saw a dull blue light fade in the distance and I knew he kicked the boon.
Oh no me thought. I had started a gen earlier, before I began my totem hunt, so I went for it. It was solo que, I couldnāt stand around a totem in hopes he left the area and waste time. Yui was getting chased around it, a baby Dwight was walking around trying to loot while hiding because he was on death hook, and I was assuming the last guy was on a gen but I wasnāt sure and didnāt want to waste more time running around the map. After all, if I popped the gen and he had noed, no one was on death hook but me and the Dwight. He was chasing Yui who had another hook left. I was cross map, and Iād gladly break the totem and go for a save later. (I was on death hook because he was tunneling the baby Dwight and I kept taking downs for him to try and keep him in the game. I figured Iād escape pretty easily once noed was broken.)
The second I pop the gen however, I see the killer coming towards me. I had adrenaline but he was so ######### fast I got no distance on him and died to noed. Just like that. BECAUSE SOMEONE WANTED TO BLESS A TOTEM š LMFAO. I smelled out noed and called it off the bat, more than ready to counter it by doing totems. But alas, no, that boon kept me from getting it done when I needed to do it. Never thought a boon would make me so mad š.
This wasnāt a complaint post or anything, just wanted to share my humorous experience of knowing I died because a Yui wanted shadow step š.
p.s
I did know early game he was going to have noed but between doing gens, healing my team, and trying to help out a new player, I didnāt have much time to go find and cleanse totems. I knew I could find them fairly quickly but if someone is injured, another is getting chased, and only one person is on a gen, Iām going to have to prioritise the gens/team. I wasnāt able to get the last totem done until that point bc we were finally in a good situation with gen progression :ā). I did pick off a few throughout the match but it came to a point where I had to stop until everyone else was ok and progressing. Solo que plus the new mmr just made it more difficult than usual, which is alright. Just clearing this up!

I want to say, "just do bones"... But, I cannot do it in good faith.

How did the boon screw you again? NOED can't over-write a boon.

If the killer kicks the boon they can still get their hex. Before I could break the bones it got booned, then I got chased away and the killer snuffed it. It was the only time window I had to break the totem and I lost it, so he was able to keep the totem intact.
Hope this helps for future games whether youāre killer or survivor!! I thought noed automatically erased a boon totem so I assumed killers didnāt have them if a boon was the last totem and stayed up. All they have to do is snuff it, at least before all the gens pop. I donāt know if they get it if they donāt snuff it until after but they definitely can before :).

And thatās why noed is dumb and ādo bones to counter noedā is a bad argument when it involves actively preventing your teammates from using their perks and involves cleansing 5 totems to prevent a perk that in most matches wonāt even be there.
To answer your question, had he not snuffed the boon, then no, noed canāt replace it and it wouldnāt have activated, even if he snuffed the totem later; there has to be a dull available at the moment the exits are powered. But since he did snuff it beforehand, it goes back to a dull totem which can be cursed by noed later.

Ngl, at first I thought "pfff, what a whiny post", but the story proved to be rather entertaining and proves that sometimes everything can go wrong.
Its a corner case, ie someone doing bones AND a boon totem being detrimental to the teams efforts, but yeah, its about the same level as the one time a player during the EGC kobed on me and crawled towards the exit gates and I suspected him to have DS, which was right. I picked him up the second he got to the threshold, got hit by DS and he escaped scott free. But this are corner cases that make for an interesting story, but still show now greater problem at work.
Good luck next time, and hmm do bones :> (in SoloQ I also do lot's of bones).
