Upcoming Detectives Hunch nerf

The upcoming nerf to Detectives hunch is completely unnecessary and will make hex build killers even stronger. The fact that the items will no longer be trackable with a map, eliminates one of the only ways to reliably counter a hex killer.

Watch this perk never get picked again. I would strongly suggest reconsidering this nerf

    What nerf?

    It works exactly the same.

    It just doesn't work with maps anymore, which can track totems even better now (if you take the add-on, that is)

    It isn't really a nerf though, they doubled the duration to make up for it. The map tracking effect didn't really work with the new way maps work now.

    There's also a new map addon to reveal totems at a distance, if that's what you're looking for.

    Sadly it won't, but any buff for hex builds are welcome. They are pretty much waste of perk slots in most matches.

    To be fair, there are some people who enjoy using detectives hunch and a map for their own personal reasons. imo they should’ve also on top of doubling the duration made the effect map wide so you can get a rough idea of all the totems/chests/generators on the map instead of 64 meters from you since if you tracked those objectives with the old maps it would give you aura reading on that object map wide when using the map.
