Killer Hex Totems are useless now

Since this update I've played about 20 games as killer today. There hasn't been a single game where my hex totem hasn't lasted more than 3 minutes. It's honestly very frustrating when you have 2 to 3 Mikaela's running around blessing totems every match. Even my undying is getting blessed. I honestly don't know what to do.

    People are also testing the new perks. Naturally you're not going to have hex totems if you used them right after a new patch.

    Guess I'll be playing survivor until the Mikaela rage dies down.

    People have been saying Hex perks are useless for.....How many years now?


    All the time people have been saying "my hex totems are found too quickly" wayy before this new survivor.

    lol there's literally no difference, Mikaelas cannot wall hack hex totems and actually blessing a hex totem takes 2x longer.

    Its because Survivors usually power Gen through Ruin. May be 2 of them commit on a single Gen to make it complete. Now do totem actually benefit them, they're likely to spend more time to find Hex + 24sec blessing.

    You either lose a Gen or lose a Hex, you cant have both.

    I always have Small game to get rid of Ruin as soon as possible, I hate Ruin with passion, if all players were me, you will not see the difference before & after Boon update.

    Idk man if a killer isnt 4k every game clearly they are weak.....Survivors arent allowed to counter hex perks.

    It’ll die down. Give it time. The bad Mikaela’s will go back to their second chance perks.

    I played 3 games with Blood Favor on Plague and the totem was never cleansed.

    You realize totems were cleansable before the update, right?

    3 minutes is actually pretty good for a Hex to stay up. They're not meant to last all game, they're meant to be a gamble. It's up to you to create pressure while they last. If you don't like taking the risk of your Hex being destroyed, then don't use them. There are plenty of strong non-Hex perks to use.
