I stop playing killer until the boom totems are nerfed
This ability is the worst thing that has happened in the game since I have played it (3 years). the worst thing about this is that the survivors have only one objective. for example undying got a nerf because it was very strong that an ability lasted so long .... but now it is the killer's job to make totems ??? the totems are infinite? this is a great joke. survivors can turn on totems infinite times, I like the changes but these give more tasks to the killer, other counters you can no longer slug or hurt someone and abandon the chase if you enter a strong loop. because they heal in 10 seconds ... the killers are finished. you just can play with nurse, bligth and spirit, other killers are a big joke

Uh... Boon Totems also only have a certain area of effect, the Killer can snuff them out faster then a Survivor can Bless one, and the action of even Blessing totems takes time off of Survivors doing gens. There are also plenty of bad Totem locations for Survivors to put Boons on which make them easy to snuff out.
Idk, I play Survivor mostly, but if anything I've found that there strength more so lies in a mix of where I put it, if my team actually understands how to use them (As I've played with plenty of people who don't understand how boons work.), and if the Killer pressures them enough.

Everyone seems to disregard the time it takes survivors to find and bless totems to put a Boon into effect. The Boon has limited range and can be snuffed out. If a killer snuffs it out that survivor will need to spend time blessing it again.
Boons encourage survivors to do something other than gens.. I know that Boons having impactful effects may be controversial but they couldn't be weak or do next to nothing lol
Also I don't get why people try to compare them to Hexes since they have some pretty hefty differences. As I said, Boons affect a limited area whereas Hexes affect the entire trial with unlimited range. If Boons had unlimited range I'd be a lot more concerned but as it stands I can't really be too upset.
CoH should have its healing % nerfed though, that is a bit problematic.

That's ok. I'll keep playing killer and not worry about boon totems. When the boon totems get nerfed guys like you will find something else to rage at.

Yes. Snuff the totem on a side of the map with no generators is basically saying the killer to throw the game. Also what a tragedy for the survivor team that consist of 4 players to waste 20 seconds of their time to bless a totem. Truly a horrifying event for them to lose efficiency on a game notorious for having no early game. Balanced perk.

If he is not complaining about Dead Hard validation, he probably literally just has beef with boons. Boons at least have some killers who are chill with them. No reasonable killer wants to get cucked, though. Unless you are into that. No judgment here.

I will only disagree with the part of they being the worst thing is three years, because in 2019 we had Mettle of Man (oh boy, that perk was broken on release). But yeah, the way the Boon Totems were implemented was really bad and needs a fix.

Killers saying : Survivors need a second objective
BOONS TOTEMS ARRIVE
Killers saying : Nerf boons totems!

Yes. Boon Totems are OP and have killed the game for killers.

But I thought killers wanted a new survivor meta?

Wrong

The problem is Boon totems in their current form also give the killer an additional objective, one the killer doesn't have time to do.
Killer is a race against the clock, while survivor is a leisurely strole with the occasional sprint. Killer time is not equal to survivor time.
All the survivors need to do is make sure the boon totem is far enough from other objectives and it forces the killer into running a relay between additional points on the map, or forces the killer to tunnel and camp.
If boon totems were one time use (snuffing destroys the totem) then it would be fair risk v reward for both survivor and killer. With repeatable blessings, it's just irritating to the point where the killer is forced to just let the boon stay up.
If a one use per totem rule was too limiting, I'd suggest removing the thunderclap notification so the killer doesn't immediately know there's a boon. This would guarantee survivors get some use out of it before it's destroyed.

Honestly, now would be a cool time to bring back old Undying (without seeing auras on hexes though). At least hexes like Crowd Control and Blood Favour could be used more. Now that survivors are searching for totems to bless I don't think anyone would complain.

Then why do they complain about the same 6 perks being used in every match? Only way to fix this is to add new strong perks
0 -
Its not totally about what the boons can do - but WHEN they can do something. Yes they are indeed limited by 26? meters but this is a-lot + the 3 seconds after leaving the area. + the fast heal.
When you have a good ol´ 3 Gen to protect as a Killer and a boon thats away from it how can you protect it? Its an Infinite. Even if you can manage it to get in time to save the gen - when your ruin is out or you dont have time to chase and hook someone for pop the survivor get and win over time (what was on the opposite and what it was fine this way because 1 vs ?)
Yes with selfheal and medkits before it was close to this - but medkits could run out and selfheal tooked a long time - this isnt the fact anymore.

i keep saying that Killers should be the ones Breaking Totems, and Survivors the ones Snuffing them.
Killers have single use Hexes
Survivors have multiple use Boons
Killers can't re-activate their perks, don't need to keep them after being Booned.
Survivors are able to re-boon them, they need to keep them after Un-Hex them.
Just change Inner-Streng/Healing and Counterforce to be Boon perks or something.

I'm not. And neither are many others. Please stop generalising.
I won't presume to speak for all those you mention above. However from what I have read, they are asking for nerfs to the meta perks (such as DH). Not for more even stronger ones.
To add, I really dislike perks such as DH, bit wouldn't ask people to stop using them, and I don't consider them OP. Boon totems though are, and have broken the game IMHO.

Survivors will downplay the significance Boons have by saying that they take time to place or only have a small area of effect.
In reality, the time it takes to place them is meaningless when there are 2-3 other survivors still doing gens and getting the team objective done.
There isn't much point in playing killer anymore given the current state of the game. I have noticed that getting survivor matches is taking a bit longer than it used to. I think a lot of killers must have thrown their arms up and either quit or switched roles.
5 -
It's not. Instead of complaining about the same 6 perks people will now complain about 7, that's not really variety. You nerf the meta and buff weak/average perks, so the difference between the weakest and the strongest perk is as small as possible. Just look how perks like Windows of Opportunity and Lucky Break have been massively buffed but people still prefer the braindead meta.

Exactly. Reading survivors desperately try to defend Boon Totems is almost as bad as watching Dominic Cummings defend his trip to the castle 😂😂
2 -
They’ve already been nerfed. Deal with it. xo
2 -
Theyre hard to find. Theyre incredibly powerful.
They should have charges. Can only use 1 or 2 per match.
We are, by not playing killer. I do my killer challenges, and have switched to survivor.
Yeah, because it created another objective for killers.

Its definitely worth snuffing the totem if you're in the area. It gives you the same amount of BP as if you hooked a survivor. The player has to relight the totem, and you get to deny survivors any self healing without perks or medkits. It's good to do so when you can.

CoH really has huge %.
also I dont like that boons has infinity Y scale.
in other words, boon is in 2nd floor and it applies its effect into the ground floor
0 -
I think they meant infinite as in "you can just set them back up", thus the reference to undying.
0 -
I can tell you boon perks probably wont get nerfed for a few years.
0 -
I dont like boons but i feel 1.9.2 and old MoM was worse.
