Five stacks pimento useless?
I've been seeing some Hex: Pimento builds going around lately and they all had one flaw. They all try to get five stacks of Pimento to get the build to work to it's maximum value, but generally these games are already over when that happens. Either it took to long to get five stacks and the gens are essentially done, or one survivor dies mid game and the Pimento stacks just become overkill.
The first stack is great for slowing down gens and puts pressure on the survivors, but five stacks always becomes overkill.

5 stacks of Hex: Parmesan doesn't happen that often so if I have a chance to activate all 5 totems at once ill throw the match to see it
I've done it twice but then again I only run Hex: Provolone on one character that I play occasionally

No, No, you use Hex: Parmesan with Scourge Hook: Cavatappi. It pairs well with the game you catch using Deerstalker.

Well don't forget to add Hex: Pepper into the mix so you can light 4 totems by hooking survivors

Just Don't be going around using Hex: Limburger. That's a nasty stinker of a build. Very Toxic, Very Demoralizing.

Pentimento is kinda flawed as a perk because it requires survivors spend time cleansing 5 totems, if they do this BEFORE gens then they’ve basically already lost because that’s over a minute of time the killer gets to have free pressure, and if they do it AFTER gens then there’s no reaso to light the totems. So it either gets no value/the value is useless/or the survivors were already doomed without it.

5 stack is for an endgame build not for a regular match

Pentimento is flawed, but not because of that reason. Pentimento is flawed, because Survivors get punished quite heavily for doing Side Objectives, which are already good for the Killer. I mean, you say it yourself, if they cleanse 5 Totems, the Killer probably does not even need Pentimento since the Survivors were so inefficient.
@Topic:
Pentimento is not really used for getting 5 Stacks. I managed to do it once, but only because the Survivors for some reason only cleansed their Plaything-Totems and not the Pentimento-Totems (big misplay).
Pentimento is used because the first Token already gives a really big benefit. 30% Slowdown on Gens is a lot AND there is additional Slowdown because one Survivor needs to travel to the Pentimento-Totem and cleanse it.
So as long as you have 1 Pentimento-Totem active, you already get a huge benefit. No need to get 5 tbh.

you don’t really use it to get 5 stacks
that’s something that only really happens if you play against idiots
