Does every new survivor need a boon?
After Ms Reid and her two boons the two new survivors each have one. that's a full boon loadout now if you play all 4 of them.
I hope this isn't becoming the norm.

considering how every new killers need a scourge hook, yes.

Boons are still a new mechanic, so there's probably going to more new ones coming with some of the new survivors just to see how they work. The last three killers have had Scourge Hook perks (Pinhead, Artist, and now Sadako) and that's still a new mechanic, too. So it's probably to see how both mechanics work (Scourge Hooks and Boons).

Sure the last 2 new killers had scoruge hooks so it makes sense.
Basically the devs found a new mechanic which is really interesting and want to have some fun with it. I'm really happy we're getting new scrouge and boon perks.

This new Boon is another kick in the teeth for killers. Haste effect. What a complete and total joke.

In fairness, it is pretty weird. When hexes were introduced you got the 3 from Hag, there was doctor, and then huntress lullaby (which I don't even think was a hex on release), and then you wouldn't get another hex perk for killers until Spirit with Haunted Grounds (4 killer span) and then, not again until Deathslinger with Retribution (5 killer span).

I like it. They wanted to shift the perk meta and Boons/Scourge Hooks have introduced something new that people want to use.

Honestly this could be a big problem especially for 110 killers. I'm pretty sure if your looping in the boon you can get and extra loop or 10+ seconds add to every loop in the radius. I don't think I will be broken but it's probably going to be problematic and making the killer pool smaller.

Now you can have four boons at once. Aw, bless.
This game is quickly becoming
Dead by Daylight: Booner Edition
(except I don't think many will use Yoichi's boon).

another Strong Boon...great.........................😐️

Yeah, this is probably it.
Now we actually have boon synergy with Boon: DT + SS.

It was pretty obvious that they will give any new character Scourge hooks/boon now. The issue is that there is exactly no creativity in boons coming. You can safely guess what boon effects will come next.

Yes, we need to make the experience for killers even most miserable than it currently is.
Thankfully, the new boon is garbage, but they'll eventually release another that is as broken and ridiculous as COH

It's really not though against 110 killers it's going to add another loop around a pallet and it also has the possibility of making some spot into infinites. Think about all those times you just barely got that hit before they made the vault or dropped that safe pallet and with the new boon those hits won't happen.

wished they would stop adding scourge hooks and add more chase perks, maybe the ability to destroy an undropped pallet based on a condition would be nice, or after getting stunned by a pallet, gain a 5% haste speed for 3 seconds, idk, anything really

monstrous shrine is the OG scourge hook 😌

Boon totems need changed. I still don't understand why they haven't had a complete rework. The simple fact that they can be used indefinitely & be stacked by multiple players on smaller maps is just a joke. The benefits they have are just too strong when used with a coordinated team. This new totem is a strong edition to teams that stack boons on specific maps.

Yeah. I'm pretty much expecting a boon that combines streetwise and built to last in the near future. Also boon: vigil. We know it's coming.

Most due to them trying to make boons fun even though the boon mechanic is a problem.
