Breaking hex totems is now considered a "cancerous" act?

lol 90% of the time for me NOED spawns right near a gate, somewhere obvious where they won’t miss it on their way to power the gate.

I've always laughed when I only ran NOED and I'd have all 5 totems up and then go to check the gates and see it chose one near an exit gate. It'd of course be facing the survivors running towards said exit gate and be against a rock, tree or wall and in plain sight.

There would be times it'd stay hidden but those were much rarer but on the positive side i always knew where survivors would go when they wanted to kill it haha.

Well you're an exception then at least but on average there's something about hex totems even when they've been up for several minutes and the killer has gotten either hooks or sacrifices makes them instantly rage quit.

I sometimes run a Full Hex build on the Hag and I have never DC'd due to someone breaking my totems, quickly or not. Because it is the (huge) risk you run when using Hex perks.

However, I have experienced, too many times Killers DCing just because they think they are entitled to their Totems not being cleansed... or something. Hell, experiencing it once is too many.

You should play on console then, no chat there.

Probably will (play on console) since i have all settings on private anyway...

I can guess how that match went for the killer 😂

We just kept attacking it from separate sides and kept him occupied the whole match.

I faced a Doctor on one of the Coldwind maps about 6 months or so ago and his ruin totem was in a little enclosure. He protected that like a vicious guard dog and wouldn't stray more than 10 feet away ever, so we just powered through the gens and the gates got powerd.

We killed all his other totems off and I can't remember if he had NOED or not but this one person really wanted his tem and after getting smacked a bunch it got killed but he got sac'd. The person didn't care because the totem got destroyed and he'd pipped anyways.

I hate seeing either side rewarded like that.

If we are talking about DC. If I don't run a specific totem build, I usually check the basement first and more often there is a survivor, absolute oblivious scrambling in the chest. Often I just can pick them up.
But 9/10 survivors just DC, I don't even have the chance to hook them for BBQ...there goes my 25% stack and the other survivors are screwed.
Why do they rage quit?
Am I not allowed to check the basement?

Yeah, i was once playing with @lyric and killer DCed for the same reason. He was protecting the totems at all costs and we decided that 2 of us should do the totems and distract the killer while the other 2 kept doing gens. As soon as we removed them killer DCed.
Honestly, some people need to understand that their main priority as a killer is to kill people and prevent them from doing gens, not camping totems. 😕

Killers camp totems because they're their only chance at having a good game. Because after Hex Ruin is gone, the gen rush is on.

@jackmadrox
You clearly don't know how to play as a killer then. Hexes are not meant to stay during the whole match, they are meant to slow down the game.
If i can get 1 or 2 hooks before they get rid of the (let's say) ruin i'll be more than happy, if not, i'll just deal with it. And yes, i agree that devs should fix the totems placement.
You know what will happen if you camp totems? I'll repair gens while you camp them and it will be as useless for you as losing the totem right away.

I never used Ruin except for the adept still could 4k at rank 1, it's all about how you apply pressure. If you're depending on a totem then you're taking a leap of faith.

Right, but the totem is absolutely worthless if it's wiped away in the first 10 seconds of a match.

Already said that devs should fix the totem placement. And not only that, survivors shouldn't get any kind of notification at the very beginning of the match.
If you really don't like to rely on hex totems then change your build till they fix them.

What do you need to know about DH?
Totems placement should be fixed.
Once they fix it it's your choice to camp DH or not.
You camp it? Probably you won't get a single hook, thus you won't be able to use it
You don't? You'll have more chances to use DH.

DH, if it goes of, lasts till the end. That's the whole idea if that totem. That's why we

A sample size of one means nothing. One killer wasn't have a good time and rage quit. Big deal.

Onionthing

existing is cancerous to the other player.

PhantomMask20763

Dont you know?! Breaking totems is an illegal act in dbd!!!! You're supposed to let the killer have ruin for the whole match!!! Jokes aside though, totems aren't supposed to last the while match unless it's something like devour hope or third seal. But all totems need are better spawns. Devour hope should last at least for the exposed stat. Ruin should last for at least some good momentum in the early game ect.

Oh, that's not really the case.
Swfs are usually in party chat, and can invite you on the fly to join if you aren't in the SWF. 
And unless you have access blocked, they can still message you. 

I always thought it was weird when Survivors would message me before the match started, when I'm the Killer. How do you find out who the Killer is before the match even starts?

Maybe someone already mentioned it (I read the first post and part of the first page):

But maybe he actually has cancer, started the game, got in, and then started feeling really sick/nauseus/vertigo...And couldn't finish the match?

Or maybe taking care of someone that has cancer and needed to dc to go help?

This must be a PS4 thing because on Xbox the killer doesn't show up in recent players until about 2 minutes into the trial.

Maybe she was getting looped by someone else? It's not all about you.

After I popped the totem, Claudette Dstruck her. However there were still 4 gens left, and the match had only been going on for like 2 and a half minutes.

She chased me to a jungle gym near the beginning and I mindgamed her, then she chased Claudette off somewhere. I'm not sure what happened in that one minute, but I don't know how it could be so toxic that she felt the need to DC.

Back when I first started playing killer, when I was a survivor main. I had no idea how frustrating survivors could be. SWF with a sleeper rank 2 and rank 3 vs lvl 16 killer learning the ropes. Seconds in, BOOM Ruin gone, rank 2 looping and teabagging, rank 3 flashlight blinding, 2 gens done, nobody on hook....screw this. Not fun at all.

Match making is so messed up. Mid-level killers should not have to play vs high rank killers. Now, I know to ignore the guy who wants to be chased. Find the weakest link, lure the looper in to a trap.

Now, I just play to have fun. I don't care.

ReikoMori

Hex totems are way too binary. You either have it or you don't, but when you lose it there is no way to regain it or have a diminished version of it instead of simply being on/off. Hexes have been an issue since Hag dropped and with new hex perks added it has only made the system stick out that much worse. Personally, I'd love to see the whole system reworked to be less dominating against survivors, but as less binary for the killer. Currently, losing a hex is a handicapping factor and if you're going for a full hex build you can end up perkless which is very severe handicap.

So when you lose them they can be cancerous on top of Dstrike which STILL needs to be sorted out. If not for the fact that Ruin is so powerful and so necessary at high level play I doubt killers would worry with hex perks. It would have been better to give both survivors and killers the ability to build their own totems as a resource rather than tie them to perks in the way they have.

Just means they are trash and will make excuse after excuse instead of facing the truth.

Do you come on the forums and complain when said hex perks don't get destroyed and you get a 3 or 4k game because they were up?
