I'm kinda sick of totems.

Well i doubt they will adjust spawns, could maybe require totems needing a toolbox to break or add in difficult skill checks to progress the break meter. But either way it's unlikely any change will come until we found out how these boon totems work.

Could be a new perk idea to pick up bone fragments from a destroyed totem and craft another as a perk similar to flashbang crafting, but allowing you to place it in a totem spawn location of that map. Obviously limited use.

Most hex totems aren't high risk, high reward though. They are high risk, medium reward most of the time.

Ruin has a useful effect if you can cover the map quick enough to generate constant pressure, but it only has an effect if you stop working on a gen so if you never let go on m1 Ruin has no real effect on the game.

Devour Hope is high risk high reward.

Third Seal is trash and belongs in the garbage

Haunted Ground(Ghost Graveyard for you tru3talent fans) is zero risk and medium reward.

Undying it's job is prop up another hex so it zero risk medium reward

Blood Favor is high risk, medium reward. Blocking palettes might clutch sometimes, but good survivors extend loops even without palette.

Crowd Control same as above just replace palette with windows

Lullaby has high risk and almost no reward like most huntress perks

NOED(ha!) before exit gates are powered no risk no reward. After exit gates power high risk, medium reward. Somebody might be left for dead, but if you get the door open and leave the killer can't harm you.

Retribution is a hex perk that keeps track of dull totems and narcs on people AFTER they break them. medium reward, low risk.

Thrill of the Hunt it exists to prop up other totems, but isn't quite as useful as undying. Has not aged well

The wiki lists Thanatophobia as a hex perk weirdly so I'm gonna say it's zero risk high reward. Best hex in game.

This is why I don’t run hex perks ever anymore. Anyone who’s been playing the game for a long time has totem spawn locations memorized. I run Counterforce as survivor and I never have an issue locating totems because I know where to check on the map since the spawn locations are fixed. And then you have perks like small game, counterforce and detective’s hunch which show the survivor where they are.

As a positive, I will say that the totem spawns on the newer maps (like Midwich and Raccoon City Police Dept) are a lot better and harder to find. But again, once we get used to the maps, we know exactly where to look. If they could make totems spawn anywhere, instead of fixed locations it may help.

I have been saying that I think hex perks are outdated for a while now. I think they need some sort of update so they actually have a chance to last longer. There are games where the hex is cleansed in 2 minutes.

I mean that's just an issue with some maps like for example the og realms anyone with significant time in the game will just know all of the totem spots

I like ur idea

Ruin is in the vast majority of my matches, and the matches without Ruin will usually have at least one other totem perk. So I go out of my way to check for totems as I move around the map.

That’s the thing about hex perks, the more they’re used the less effective they become. Almost every killer now running Ruin/Undying has indirectly screwed over the people who run other hexes. That’s why I don’t run hexes anymore, personally. They’re too predictable.

I run small game so I'm Just doing bones to prevent noed so if it happens to destroy a killers perks win win.

I used Small Game for a while, in the past and now I don't anymore, but some of the totem spawns are pretty obvious, so while I don't go out of my way to find the totems, between moving from gen to gen, I always keep an eye out for totems and I believe other survivors do the same. In my case, it's not to try to ruin the killers experience, it's mostly about getting easy points from destroying a totem, which only takes a few seconds. But some of those totem placements can be pretty bad, like, in a open field, you get an hex, it while be seen from far away and won't last long.

Totems spawns are fine, especially on the reworked maps. Don't believe me? If I wasn't running Small Game, I never would have found this well-hidden gem: 🤣

I've had that map with the same totem spawn and spawned right next to it as well and did the same (though as Pig, all I could do was oink in frustration, lol).

That particular spawn is pretty inexcusable on a map that underwent a rework -- meaning someone involved looked at it and said, "Yeah -- nothing could possibly be wrong with putting it here.". It rivals the old Asylum spawn that was right in the middle of the wide-open for worst in the game.
