Perk design shows dev inability to balance maps

Every game map I get the entire map is covered in boon totems. Who thought these perks would be good design? Why should I, as a killer, in the current meta have to deal with that bullshit. We already have enough on our plate as is, don’t get me started on “jUsT sNuFf” when I can’t afford to drop a chase to go on the next floor above or below. Very poor design but why am I surprised at this point.

    Let down is a byproduct of having hope. We're fools that don't learn.


    Good luck out there bud.

    I think it's more an unwillingness to change the maps, and I honestly can't explain it.

    There are still 3 or 4 maps with potential infinites against certain killers, and far too many survivors love to bring offerings to abuse them.

    Boons...boons are another issue entirely. I'm flabbergasted that they went live as-is. There is almost no realistic counterplay to them and they nullify multiple perks and entire killers, leading to an even more stale meta.

    Boon totems are extremely unhealthy design in their current state.

    Anyone with even a decent amount of game time could have glanced at boon totems and realized they were a bad idea very quickly.

    Killers simply do not have time to deal with multiple extra objectives. They literally don't even have time for their current objectives rofl.

    Just shows an extreme disconnect to me. We ask for extra mandatory objectives on survivor side to give them more to do and slow them down on gens and instead we get extra objectives for killers...lol
