Running hex perks is super pointless

Yet when they work like 5 stack DH or 1 or no gens pop etc you don't come here to the forum and complain about them working now do you? While they end some help they're high risk high reward so you have to make that choice.

Make them spawn inside the lockers like they used to

Seriously why bother anymore when they get destroyed so easily and ruin? Lol people will still power through gens even with ruin. Like I'm so tired of running a hex perk just for it to get destroyed immediately like when will hex totems get better spawn locations?

they use time cleansing them

I know someone has brought this up, but I'm too lazy to read every reply. If this hasn't be brought up allow me to be the first.

Hexes dont suck, but they are a gamble. I for one run hexes and have people rage quit left and right. Hexes require you to change your play-style, something most killers refuse to do. Some killers are better at using/playing-around hexes than others, because they have better map pressure etc. A Spirit running Hexes is much more deadly than a Leatherface. Far too often I watch killers ignore defending their totems and then scream when they are gone in a matter of a few seconds.

Now don't get me wrong, i have hosted games where the survivor spawns right next to my ruin totem, and that sucks. However the value of the perk is still greater to me than not running it from a statistical standpoint.

For those running hexes ask yourself:

1) Am I capable or willing to play around my totems at the cost of being aggressive toward gens. If the answer is no, then don't run hexes.

2) Do I prefer a more defensive playstyle. If the answer is "no," dont run hexes.

3) Do I want to play a high risk, high potential for reward build? Or do I want to play it safe? If you want "safe" ... don't run Hex builds.

Hex builds were never meant to be a fire and forget thing like other perks. They were meant to spic up game play and alter survivor/killer behaviors to provide a different game-play experience. MY PERSONAL COMPLAINT about hexes are that not all of them are useful. The devs have been tweaking them, and they are getting better. If I'm going to use a perk slot that can vanish in under 1 min of game-play, the effect need to be profound enough to warrant the risk. Right now two Hexes are worth it and that's Ruin and NOED. The others require some weird gimmicks or a heck of a lot of time to ramp up to be a threat. In the end it is still up to the killer to make sure they alter their style to accommodate these perks.

I don’t and have never used hex’s outside of goofing around while learning the game. I do just fine. But the initial learning experience is tough. 

Same for me and only other time has been for Adepts like Hag shudder and I screwed around with NOED on Spirit but not using any other hexes.

But for the most part I don't ever run them since you rely on them like a crutch too much.
