New Totem Buff Won't Work

So the Devs have talked about creating a Line of Sight mechanic for totems, where the game will choose a spot for totems and not put them in places where Survivors cannot see them, nowhere in their LOS which i'm assuming will be 360 degrees. Well it won't work, it's not enough, I just had a game with a dirty camping Wraith and the totem spawned behind a wall behind me. I spawned AT RUIN and even if the LOS mechanic was implemented I STILL WOULD'VE SPAWNED AT RUIN.

Now my game will be different than everyon else's, despite spawning at Ruin it took us a long time to find it, it was only until it was too late that we realized that Ruin spawned behind us at start and we didn't look there lol.I don't know if they managed to find it and destroy it as I killed myself because that Wraith was a dirty trashy ######### who just camps and doesn't even try to play the damn game. I was very sad about it because it was the first Wraith i've seen wear the new cosmetic and it looks amazing, I love that cape.

    It means it won't spawn near survivors

    That's not what I heard, but we'll wait and see. I hope I'm wrong.

    It doesn't matter because survivors will still know all the totem locations. Just move over 1 or 2 tiles and you will find it, it will be even more consistent than before.

    The whole concept is flawed since totems actually shine through walls. But who am I to judge... juSt don't use any hex perks lul
